回覆 Cismama11 的帖子

Based on my observations including the student surnames as well as exchanges on many occasions, the proportion of the mainlanders at Harrow HK is far less than 50%.

Thank you, I respect your claim on "tend not to make the comparisions between different schools bas ...

By going to the section of student achievements at the website of Harrow HK, there are some student names at mostly at the senior years(say year 11 to year13). We may have a guess of their origins in light of surnames. My understanding is in hk international schools, on average the senior levels have a higher proportion of chinese students than the junior levels. For the rest, i have no comments.

As hong kong has more openings from the increasing number of international schools and more locals are sending kids to those schools, by mathematics, assuming the demand from the non chinese group being statics, we have to live with the fact that chinese students take a higher proportion at the IS. It is also a common phenomenon at both  the elite schools and universities overseas.

I have no comments on judging a school by the amount of mainland Chinese students in it, but it is inaccurate to use romanized names to differentiate between Hongkongers and mainland Chinese, because when mainland Chinese settle in HK, they are given the option to change their names from China's PinYin to Hongkong style Yale Cantonese romanization, e.g. from Zhang Xiao Yong to Cheung Hiu Wing, and most of them do take up that option.

I did say it was a guess.  I also said i got the feel based on some other exchanges. You are right it is free for any one to have his/her name under  Pin Yin or Hong Kong style. However my contacts with the typical " mainland chinese" possessing hkid card hardly show the majority have hk style english name. There are lots of kids coming to hk at their infancy and adopting the hk style. If we count them "mainland chinese",  i am afraid there are lots of different definitions about the " mainland chinese" in hong kong. Before there is a consensus about the identity of the "mainland chinese", the number is never scientific.

Furthermore, it is always inaccurate to do so. Because it is also free to change one's name to say Wiston Churchill or Lord George Bryon. Just kidding.

I agree, the adults may not want to change because they may already have other legal documents using their PinYin names, but they would do it for their children so they could blend in if not fit in.

I dare say for the secondary sections of most IS in Hk, the majority are Chinese (Hk or mainland). Most expatriate kids go back to their own countries for secondary school.
