Did u complete form 1 or 2 in HK?I did, in fact. I attended St. Paul's College before going to Shrewsbury.
Personally, do u find difficult or easy to migrate the school life in Shrewsbury start at year 9?
I would say it has some difficulties in terms of integration, for the language spoken is wholly different from that learnt in Hong Kong. But this takes time and it will improve over your time at the school, that is, if you engage in learning the language. Most entrants are on the same starting line in terms of relationships with others, including the British students, when they enter the school. So as long as you stay conventional to their culture you should fit in fine; those able to observe the British boarding school traditions and culture quickly would be those who will fit in quicker; but that is not suggesting that those who observe slower cannot.
There is casual and banter-like racism, but it is applicable to all such that the English will tease the Welsh for having more sheep than people; it is not exclusively racism-against-Asians.
To my understanding there seems to be a trend for Hong Kong/Asian parents preferring their sons and daughters to refrain from staying within the Asian bubble so that their English may improve. This is true to some extent, but what matters more, I would say, is the will to engage not the circle you are in.
Except the Oxbridge support, do u think the destination of the schoolmates are satisfactory?
I profess that I do not hold the complete data for all gradaute destinations, but to my knowledge a majority of the graduates land at a Russell Group. Within the Group, I would surmise that most probably land at a tier 1.5 Russell Group, that is, world top 50-100. Although, some popular detinations include, inter alia, Durham, Exeter, Bristol, Nottingham, Manchester, UCL, LSE, and King's; in my personal opinion these range from tier 1 to tier 2.
How do u comment the academic standard of Shrewsbury, pushing, relaxing, encouraging?I would say it isn't a school that induces a transformation of the pupil, rather it magnifies the characteristics of the pupil. So that if one is academically pushing, the school will aid his or her development in said pushing direction. But to do so one needs to actively seek help from the school, such as going to teachers out of lessons. It is, basically, a school that has vast amounts of resources for you to utilise if you wish so, but for those who do not, the school does not force you.
