西 島 中 學 學 生 徐  豐 ( 左 ) 在 IGCSE 國 際 數 學 考 獲 全 球 最 高 分 , 更 破 格 跳 班 修 讀 IB 課 程 。 旁 為 西 島 中 學 校 長 霍 珍 。


  英國劍橋大學國際考試委員會近日公布港生去年國際普通中學教育文憑(IGCSE)的全球排名,英基學校協會轄下三所中學共六名學生考獲全球最高分,涵蓋中文(外語)、商業及國際數學三個科目,其中在國際數學考獲全球最高分的西島中學資優生徐豐,更獲學校首次豁免應考IGCSE餘下科目,今年跳級至第十二班修讀國際文憑(IB)課程。

  去年有約千名英基學生應考IGCSE,英基昨宣布,劍橋大學國際考試委員會公布港生去年IGCSE的全球排名中,英基轄下港島中學、英皇佐治五世學校及西島中學共六名學生,分別於中文(外語)、商業及國際數學考獲全球最高分;另有六名英基學生於附加數學、科學及世界文學等科目中考獲全港最高分。

  年僅十六歲的西島中學學生徐豐,去年提早一年報考IGCSE的國際數學科,並考獲全球最高分,他曾參與香港資優教育學院就國際數學奧林匹克香港選拔賽進行的培訓,且屢次於英國的數學比賽獲獎,本應今年修讀第十一班的他,更獲學校破格豁免應考IGCSE餘下科目,跳級至第十二班修讀IB課程,成為該校首個獲准跳班至IB課程的學生。

  西島中學校長霍珍坦言,花上半年才拍板准許徐豐跳班,形容當日的決定其實有點冒險,「從豐平日的功課,以及他的對答,可發現他的才能比同齡學生高很多,但仍須與任教老師商討跳班的決定,始終IB課程較IGCSE深入很多,亦須重新適應社交環境。」事隔逾半年,除英文科,豐其他科目的IB預測成績均達最高的第七級,霍珍笑言,證明當日的冒險決定十分值得。

  笑言對數學不太熱衷的徐豐稱,自六、七歲起,在港大教授工程學的爸爸便在家與他操練數學,發掘了他的數學潛能,「每周末做數約三小時,期間爸爸會為我買額外的數學書,教我課堂外的知識。」他笑稱,每周末的操練已成為他的習慣,這種持續奮鬥正是他能在數學科考取佳績的關鍵。

  徐豐尚餘一年才須決定升學去向,故現仍未作出決定,但希望如哥哥般升讀香港大學醫學院,或往美國升學,「爸爸從美國回流工作,故在美國仍有人脈;港大醫學院較側重國際視野,且課程甚具挑戰,對我亦算適合。

The majority of student in ESF are Local Chinese, who also tend to be better at getting good grades.

Most (if not all) ESF students that can get good grades are local Chinese that have been with local schools before entering ESF. This is not only true for ESF, but other IS as well. I would be interested to know more the performance of 100% ESF/IS students.

"讀數叻,入醫科其實是條死路!"

Why?  I don't quite understand.  Do you mind telling me more?  Thanks!

作者: Choisumwong    時間: 13-3-18 22:11

if you are very talented in maths, you are not suitable to study medicine because studying medicine does not need too much logic and thinking. It in fact needs a lot of understanding and memory. My experience is that my classmate very talented in maths ended up depression and change of faculty in only first year of medicine. I strongly believe that medicine is only suitable for all-rounded students. Extremely talented students in one area are likely frustrated in studying medicine.  Every year more than one medicine students will suffer from mental breakdown or even suicide !!

作者: Shootastar    時間: 13-3-19 10:59

I know CU and HKU would admit the overseas students being transferred to their 2nd or 3rd years because of the vacancies occasioned by the class drop-out. While it is correct that each year one to two students in the pre-clinical stage dropping out the class, I have not heard that every year more than one medicine students suffering from mental breakdown or even committing suicide. Maybe there is one or two every several years but I really do not know.

某些學校就是特別高調,而且總愛將多間學校學生人數加在一起,看似人數很多,其實分開計,每間可能只有一個,不是甚麼特別
如果要計人數總和,香港天主教學校肯定是公開試大嬴家

Fair comment!  

However, ESF never takes the policy to choose the best or excellence.  So all brand 1-3 students are mixed up in the same classroom.  How is the similar conditions  happened in DGS, DBS and SPCC?  I'm always curious to see this scene, then to judge how easy and difficult it would be.  .

每次成績出來,總有人話學校係 non-selective。其實,呢 d 學校,去到高中有幾多真係 p1 一路上,大家都心裡有數。由 g9 開始年年好多人走,插班的都要經過 admission test,係唔係真係 non- selective  就各有各講,各取所需。
我唔會同 LS 比,大家教學方式不同,路向不同。起碼人地唔會聖公會 (或天主教會,等)  整個教會的學校加埋一齊計。
都係唔再講喇,唔想被人圍。(唔係話你)

我覺得以上討論問題徵結在何謂 non-selective,這是關鍵。Darth 的觀察亦十分接近事實,但又不應全盤否定ESF及lS的平常生態,Expat come and go 是正常過正常!

以前有家長又話 home grown, 買人如出一轍,忽略定義及漠視背後真相,好難討論。

作者: ANChan59    時間: 13-3-19 15:30

加多句,我觀察ESF及lS學生在lGCSE成績都不俗,為何lB會略遜色,不一定是孩子或學校質素。

如果已有美國大學 firm offer 在手,提早收爐啦,好難motivate去考好些,肯去考mock已經俾面學校了。

如果學生搏香港英國熱門學科,手上只有conditional offers, 點到你唔搏老命,42/45, 776,頂硬上。揸不同牌,成績會有好大出入!

My personal experience is that the chance of mental breakdown and suicide is much higher than normal.
It may be related to the stress of the course or over expectation from parents. I do not want talented students in Hong Kong all pushed to study medicine only.
The need to study hard is too harsh for Hong Kong students!!

ESF 's academic result is satisfactory because the schools are non-selective, It means that students are selected if they speak English. Many ESF students are academically and intelligently below average. Teachers are satisfactory with their progress. Academically strong students will depend on their parents to give  input.Students in ESF are happy in paradise not until they can not find top university.

I agree with you only to some extent.
The IGCSE tutor of my friend's children told me that he has met many who is really talent mathematics. They mind and brain are really not ordinary! However, they are sometimes indulged in their world of mathematics that make them ignore their surrounding. In fact mathematics theory are the frontier of science that even the field of Physics and engineering uses their finding and theories a few hundred years later.

Of course these mathematics talents do not like to be bounded in practicing medicine that requires them a lot of  memories, patience, and more commitment, besides observation and analysis and much rules and regulations to follows.

On the other hands, medical students have to pay a lot of time and effort in studying, intense pressure to meet the requirement and expectation of the lecturer. This can be a main cause for the drop out after first year.

1. 故事的男主角是人工打做的天才

2. 父母花的精神不少

3. 最近他考完AP

4.唉, 點止一星期三小時, 咪玩啦

5. 他的哥哥, IB 43分, 42+1

全部7分,TOK/EE 1分

6. 我見過佢爸爸幾次, 我地幾位都叫佢肥佬教授

7. 他爸爸就是怕個仔入不到醫學生, 因為沒有IGCSE, 所以捉個仔去考AP

把AP當作IGCSE, 因為以學校IB predicted grade, 去收生

醫學院隨時連面試機會都不會有
