Does anybody know how many students took the IB?

first batch IB for RC, really not bad at all, better copy here:

Congratulations to our first IB graduates on their stellar performance in the May examination session.

The RCHK 2009 graduating class was our first cohort to complete the IB examinations and they have performed admirably with many achieving results beyond our high expectations. Our average Diploma score of 32 is simply outstanding. The world average in 2008-09 is 29.

Over 25% of the cohort scored over 35 points. Three scholars scoring 40 and above.

Distinguishing RCHK is that 54% of our Diploma candidates achieved the highly acclaimed Bilingual Diploma.

Beyond scores, wonderful university entrance statistics and the academic accolades is the true meaning and gift of an IB curriculum and a RCHK education. The broad ranging experiences, foundation of service and depth of understanding that our graduates have gained will stand them well as they enter adult life.

My admiration to our graduates, their teachers and counselors and Ms. Carol Larkin their coordinator. My congratulations to our Parents and guardians as they can be immensely proud of their children.

We look forward to reporting more on our students destinations and future achievements.

Personally I also like RC but this first batch of students - they were not completely trained by RC, were they?  They were just recruited from other schools.  Do correct me if I am wrong.

mattsmum

yes, these students may be be all from pheonix.

but still it is an outstanding result. i heard that IB is difficult, so it does gives me a surprise.

RC 今年嘅 IB 成績算差喎 if compare with other international school.  希望佢哋可从一年比一年好啦! My girl 會今年入RC 嘅 P1.  我對佢哋有期望. 見佢哋收生都收得好認真.

Hi Mattsmum, tks for the info.  So the credits shld be mainly given to the students (^-^) and not the school....

mattsmum

from Univeristy of London's prospectus:

UCL medicine -38
Arts - general 34-35,
Imperial college general 36 -38.
Imperial college -law 38

so RC are at least elligible to arts general?
is there a university allocation list for RC students?

As I know, CU - Law also 38.

Hi Annie123,

I collected figures from the year book in front of me. :)

According to last year (07-08) year book, there were may be fewer than 40 for Year 12. So for this year (08-09), there should be roughly the same number. I do not have the year book with me, may be  ...

mattsmum

yes, it might just be the minimum entrance requirement,

so an average child would not be in UCL but still be in the next tier.

think about this:
1. this is their first year in IBDP,
2. these children might not " fight" all the way up to like those who need to fight to get into a band one secondary, yet they still have a good result.

so it is an achievement both for RC and for these children.

Could it be that the difference is due largely to the fact that it is RC's IB as you said?  If it is, what are the main difficulties?  Can any parents of RC graduates share their experience?

Trying to figure out why RC is not good compared to YC is meaningless. RC is such a new school and I never expect them to have good results anyway. I am totally not surprised they do not have impressive results.

I would rather see how people compare YC and ESF as a whole group.
There are so much positive comments on ESF and yet so much negative comments on YC.
All comments are based on "hear-say" and the goods of ESF and bads of YC seems to be rolling and rolling into bigger snow balls.
If we trust or listen to all these comments, we sure would say ESF must be so much better than YC. But yet, ESF do not seem to have good IB results. In fact, with 800 students and numerous schools, I would say the results are in fact worst amongst all international schools. On the other hand, YC does not seem to have results as bad as expected (considering the negative/poor comments). In fact, they seem to have one of the most impressive overall results.

I would like fair comments on this instead. If you are die-hard fans or parents of ESF with no solid figures or proofs, you should do more research and come back.
