Hello! 我本身係csfc既舊生,校方見香港坊間對我校既印象好似淨係一間死讀書既學校,所以就搵左一班舊生向家長同學生分享下個人心得,而另外一間係我本身有朋友係果到讀,所以都可以解答相關既問題。因為我地係無收校方任何利益,所以所有意見全部係個人既所見所思。

一黎收生要求高,學生自理能力比較好,而且校方對同學課後既生活都有一定既規管,營造到一個好好既氛圍去讀書

想問下Cardiff的boarding facilities是否住boarding house還是住host family?

另外,Cardiff是否冇half-term break, half-term break是否要在學校drill paper.

Cardiff學生是否要穿校服?

學校是否設有成績底缐,唔達標的學生是否要中途退學?

學校有冇樂團,有冇音樂活動或每周都有體育課?

謝謝你的分享。

- 唔開心就唔會義務解答各位問題^_^
- school doesn't have official sports teams but we organise different societies and there's private gym in Cardiff. We are provided with free membership cards
-  there is no half term break now but we do have term break in Christmas and Easter.each lasts for 2 weeks during which we usually have internship.  Since most is us want to do medicine, law etc, we need to prepare our uni application once we start our AS year.
- to be honest, if you think AL is harsh and feel stressed, you shouldn't pick these 神科. What makes you think you can handle a medicine or law degree if you can't master AL?
- no uniform is needed but we have dress code: white shirt and black suit
- no PE or music lesson. But we form bands our own
- if you cannot achieve 3b in AS year you are not allowed to proceed. Such requirement may increase to 3A in near future
- connection with former students ensure higher success rate
^_^

Vow, 3A in AS level, not easy for all to achieve!

Is there a boarding house for students in Cardiff.

thanks for your sharing.

all students have their own single en-suit room

we did have HKers who failed to obtain the min. requirement, less 5 per year I guess, but most of these have been studying in uk for years. If your kids are currently studying in HK, that should not be a problem. The real issue is can he/she obtain a place there. Once your kids get into CSFC, the atmosphere will change him/her attitude progressively.

Far from dispelling any 'misconception' about 'CSFC 係一間死讀書既學校', you have more-or-less confirmed our suspicion!
No wonder they achieve such high % of As - first they collect the brighest students (who probably will get As wherever they go to school anyway!), then they get rid of those likely to fail to get As (not what I would call a caring school)!
As for ECA, sounds like they are all organised by students themselves!
No doubt it will suit some students, especially those more mature and self-disciplined, but I hope parents will not choose this school purely on its academic record as I don't think it can provide the same kind of boarding school experience as other traditional boarding schools.

Academic study is part of school life, not all.  ECAs instead are more important I perceive.

攞唔3A in AS 就要被踼出校,真係匪夷所思!

請問學校是基於甚麽原因要踢走才一年之前它自己選拨的學生?

為甚麽拿不3A in AS就要破踢走?

學校對被踢走的學生有甚麽支援?

被踢走的學生之後怎樣從新起步?最後结果如何?

你個人是否認同校方踢走那些同學?




作者: 海歸仔仔    時間: 13-12-31 16:39

其實從另一角度看,被學校安排所有PE堂,音樂堂便一定是很全面的生活?類似大學般自由參與反而令同學沒有壓力,同時亦沒有校方設定的限制。當然我校和傳統boarding schools是不能相比,兩者追求不同的目標。High oxbridge admission rate, A* ratio, med. and law school admission rates 是有付出的。香港舊有的恆商亦是有人讚好有人不屑。就到底,那視乎你追求的是甚麼:)

不是說沒有個人立場,而是我們是持分者之一,作為成績好的一群,對於學校選擇性收生當然歡迎,但家長們未必喜歡,立場問題無必要在此爭論,亦不值得傷和氣

選擇性收生絶對無問題,你唔好同我玩偷換概念。家長只是認為拿不到3As in AS被踢出校值得討論。

你迴避你的立場唔緊要,但我問的頭五個問題都是實質而客觀的問題,請問可否分享和回應?

祝新年進步!




作者: 海歸仔仔    時間: 13-12-31 19:30


請問學校是基於甚麽原因要踢走才一年之前它自己選拨的學生?
據我們所知並沒有同學因拿不到時3A而被踢走,但曾有同學轉到其他中學升讀A2, 校方的原因大概我們不可能知道吧

為甚麽拿不3A in AS就要破踢走?
同上
學校對被踢走的學生有甚麽支援?
校方有另一課程,但因是新開設,詳細內容恕不清楚
被踢走的學生之後怎樣從新起步?最後结果如何?
留級,轉校,或轉讀其他課程
你個人是否認同校方踢走那些同學?
認同,因校方仍會同學提供輔導及可行之升學途徑

我阿大間學校2013年AS只得57%學生取得全A,如好似Cardiff要3A先有得留低,恐怕有43%學生中七要轉校。

我阿大間學校有78%學生AS攞B或以上,反而到A Level有91%攞B或以上。

如阿大間學校好似Cardiff,恐怕有22%學生到暑假周圍揾學校轉校讀中七。

Even if there is only one person failing to get 3B or above, why would the school want to expel him?  The school chose to accept him a year ago, presumably the school was happy with him at the time.  If he fails to attain the top grades in AS Level (which doesn't necessarily mean that he won't improve and excel in A level), shouldn't the school assist him rather than expel him.  If the school expels a student based on the grades he gets in AS Level alone, the most likely reason is that the school doesn't want to take a risk and they want to keep the percentage of their grade A* or A students as high as possible.  They want to remain #1 in the League Table and they do so at the expense of the students. Is this a correct and responsible conduct of a school?

Thanks for your explanation.  You let us understand the school more.

There is no misunderstanding.  Our comment is based on your claims.

You told us  "校方見香港坊間對我校既印象好似淨係一間死讀書既學校,所以就搵左一班舊生向家長同學生分享下個人心得"

You also mentioned "if you cannot achieve 3b in AS year you are not allowed to proceed. Such requirement may increase to 3A in near future"

作者: bobbycheung    時間: 14-1-3 17:14

死讀書嘅學校係唔係有問題就見仁見智, 不過因為學生攞唔到3B以上而需要中途離校, 這做法就肯定唔啱.  好似學校派D學生去參加馬拉松比賽, 走咗一半路程, 學校叫嗰D不在領先位置嘅同學中途退出, 這是甚麼道理?  最慘係這些同學到時會吊吊fling, 唔知點算好.
作者: bobbycheung    時間: 14-1-3 19:42

Annie,
最慘佢地未必係無信心, 而係無嘗試, 唔 bother.  為咗保住自己學校嘅成績而去犧牲學生嘅利益, 這種功利主義絕不能認同或鼓勵.  唔知學生入學時, 學校有無同D學生講清楚考唔到 3B 就要中途 bye bye?

作者: anilee88    時間: 14-6-3 01:26

Cardiff will open a new campus in Oxford in coming Sept but partner with Oxford Int'l College.  I visit the website of Oxford Int'l College but the A-Level result is not as good as Cardiff.  I just got a conditional offer to Oxford campus but worry if the academic would be same as Cardiff Sixth Form.  I have another offer from Warwick School.  Any advise to me?

Hi 海歸仔仔 ,
Would like to get your comment on Bosworth independent School?  I cannot find this school in the "Independent schools results table", is this school in a top ranking in UK A-Level School, compare with Cardiff Sixth Form College, which one will be better in the following aspects:-
1. study environment
2. supporting in Maths, Further Maths, Economics and Phy, which school will be better?
3. living environment
4. Students / teachers / school relationships.

Thanks & regards
MA Tai

我仔個足球師兄剛從Cardiff 考咗入UCL 讀Econ. 佢之前響香港憑足球talent 入咗香港的top boy school, 成績應該不是名列前茅,跟住考入Cardiff sixth form. 但佢好似吾recommend,因為真係好學店,只追成績。聽講成績不達標的佢地會用另一個學校名幫你報GCE.
個人吾認同咁急功近利嘅教育機構。

昨天去了教育展, 確應了得不到3A 是有機會轉校或留班,由於收生要求高,未有香港人出現這情況。
