任何關於Cardiff Sixth Form/ Bosworth independent college 都可以問我

海歸仔仔

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.

海歸仔仔

all students have their own single en-suit room

海歸仔仔

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.

Support 200%.

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？

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:)

我相信恆商唔會讀到中途因你成績唔夠精英踢你出呢冇哂安全感和後著。

我們亦是在此分享作為學生的感覺，單一校政實在不懂如何回應

大個仔喇，要有個人的見解和立場，你是明日的醫生或律師啊！

回覆 Tommy 的帖子

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！

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
