ISF 的第一年reults 只算是有交代. uni placements 反映部分事实, 不可作准,

如ISF 的总体方向正确, 三五年后成绩便见真章! 听闻小学已开始采留班和劝退政策, 家长们倒要多加关注!

Yes, the first class that went from beginning to end is only in G7 now. You are right about not being promoted, it is more common than I thought. I think bilingual immersion is great if the child can handle it, but it is certainly not for everyone. Some kids, especially the ones not talented in languages, really struggle.

剛剛 "鵝" 完個女, 叫佢唔好太緊張. 只要盡力就OK, 若果最終只能入到間 2nd or 3rd tier 大學, 亦非 end of the world. 好多事業成功人仕, 亦非出身名校或國際一流大學. 在Oxbridge or Ivy League畢業, 可能會給你一個 head start, 但最終事業成功與否, 就要看其他條件是否配合, 例如人際關係, 專注努力, 運程際遇..............

According to the school website, 50% of the 2012 graduates went to the UK, 23% stayed in HK and only 14% went to the US. This is a typical university destination/choice for local students of local families.
Interesting to see that the preference shifted to the US this year.
(May be still too early to say the "preference" since we do not know the whole picture yet as we still do not know the final destination of students)
Would it be that the US system actually favours IB students, that are usually more rounded and have wider range of talents? It can be seen with the choices like Williams and Parsons which are not what local parents would exactly like (probably some people have not even heard of them), but instead are good liberal arts school and design school respectively.
Local schools still focus on schools in the UK and HK, and particularly med school and law school, which mainly asks for high grades and do not give as much merits to other talents.

I am not 100% sure, but I know some students and parents prefer to have firm offers from US before IBDP exam. For UK and HK universities, most offers are conditional.
In my son's class, those got firm offers are more relax, only the students with conditional offers work a bit harder now.

God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.

If the reason is that firm offers are what they care, then would it be sad?

I am sure everyone wants firm offers. But what I was talking about is the actual interests of students. Offer from NYU would be very different from med school offer from HKU for instance. If someone is determined to be a doctor, would he consider a NYU math degree just because this US uni gives out early firm offers? Some of the very common combination of majors for local students would be say HKU med + CU law + UST finance. I would have thought, my goodness what kind of combination is that? Do you know what you want to be? What is your real interest? I would have thought that if someone is so keen on being a doctor, then he would choose medicine no matter what and if he cannot get into med school, then he should choose microbiology, biotechonology, etc which would certainly have chances to collaborate with medical field in the future.

What I was saying was, from the choice of university destinations, we can actually see how the students talent is and whether the school encourage diversity of interests. Getting offers from typical US uni is not that hard to be honest (except probably schools like ivy, standford, mit, etc). I would have thought that whoever got offers from Williams and Parsons can possibly get offers from Berkeley or NYU, depending on the program. I am glad that there are parents that give merits to students that have chose these schools.

PS I am not an ISF parent, in case anyone is wondering.

Yes ANChan59 you are right. The offers from US universities are unconditional, ie. the students will get admitted irrespective of their IBDP results. That's why some of them are now more relaxed than others. By the way, the student who gets admitted to Williams is the one who gets an unconditional offer from Princeton. Absolutely brilliant kid (not counting on parents' connection, blah blah blah). I heard that the kid is heading to Williams. Smart decision.

其實我何嘗唔係發緊夢, 只不過係酒醉都有三分醒罷了. 你形容 "能否入ivy leagues" 變成"父母的教養成績表"又幾貼切喎. 有時我都諗吓, 究竟我夢想D細路入Oxbridge or Ivy League, 係唔係完全為佢地着想? 抑或係想令自己喺D親戚朋友面前威威? 諗落其實可能兩樣原因都有D.

有時D父母仲緊張過D小朋友, 睇嚟大家都要留意睡眠飲食, 多吃水果.

廣播處前副處長吳錫輝日前接受本報訪問，踢爆好友阿倫兒子的威水史，吳錫輝說：「兩個月前有朋友生日喺馬會擺咗六、七圍，阿倫、志偉、學友、阿叻都出席，我話我個仔係港大一級榮譽生，去年喺倫敦大學讀歐洲電影史，三十人考第二，阿倫聽到就問我：『你知唔知我個仔喺邊？佢喺Oxford interview，拔尖。』」

哈哈, 他們不就是以孩子的成績, 令自己喺親戚朋友面前威威的最佳例子嗎?

不過咁, 孩子因自己嘅努力而考獲好成績, 又真係抵讚
