pleasure in learning

Dear GT parents,

I heard that GT is quite "free" but it seems the public exam results are quite good.
How does the school practically create a happy learning environment while maintaining a high academic standard? Can you share?

In the coming two years, most primary schools will limit the class size to 25. How does GT maintain its competitiveness? Will there be some new selling points?

Thanks!

For the first question I can’t answer you because I am also waiting to see the result.

For the second question, there are two considerations:

1.
Reducing the number of students per class not necessarily resulted in proportional increase in teaching performance. Other factors are needed to be considered too.


2.
I think as a result of this change, GT school would received more subsidize from Government

GT just doesn't emphasis drilling & too much homework, as Paul sir ( Maths panel head) said they inspire the students, teach the students but not drill them with overwhelming past papers.
GT integrates the public exam. materials in the curriculum, the students are prepared during normal school days. Also there're additional program during some weekends & holidays before the exam.
As Pro. Li said they'll focus on Eng. during G7-8, so all G7-8 students will take the PET & IGCSE-ESL. Furthermore, there're special programs such as supportive groups for the students who are not preformed very well, & sometimes these programs are conducted by Pro. Li himself.
After these few years, they're very pleased to see the progress & improvement. And as a parent I surely touched by their enthusiasm & heart!

優才既selling point唔止係小班教學，仲有才華班、各級既公開試成績，口碑.......

唔係所有津貼小學都會行小班既, 基本上果 D 比較好, 較受歡迎既津貼小學, 都維持大班。

宜家流行一種講法, 就係响津貼學校里面, 大班 = 好學校, 小班 = 差學校。

呢個港产教育怪胎, 都幾可憐。

優才從96年創校, 己經推行小班, 至今都冇改變, 期間纍積左好多成功既小班教學方法, 其他學校要追, 唔係三、五年做倒既事。

除左小班制, 一間成功既學校仲有其他重要因素, 例如

- 有遠見、有抱負, 仲要有能力既管理團隊
- 擁有一大群好老師/主任  : 經驗, 穩定, 學歷, 缺一不可
- 良好既家校合作
- 優良既課程, 將傳统課程去蕪存青, 注入創新元素
- 良好既學生來源

以上各項, 以小弟愚見, 優才都擁有; 其他學校係點, 各位要多多了解。

頭先分析左津貼小學推行小班既情況, 咁其他學校可係点呢？

除左優才, 直資小學有小班既 ( < 25人/class ), 好似唔多覺。

私立學校, 應該有兩三間行小班, 不過學費就好驚人。

國際學校就大部分係小班。

Thanks for your answering. If the school is successful in developing high-level thinking of students and at the same time giving students a happing learning environment, it must be a very outstanding school.
