西 島 中 學 學 生 徐  豐 （ 左 ） 在 IGCSE 國 際 數 學 考 獲 全 球 最 高 分 ， 更 破 格 跳 班 修 讀 IB 課 程 。 旁 為 西 島 中 學 校 長 霍 珍 。


　　英國劍橋大學國際考試委員會近日公布港生去年國際普通中學教育文憑（IGCSE）的全球排名，英基學校協會轄下三所中學共六名學生考獲全球最高分，涵蓋中文（外語）、商業及國際數學三個科目，其中在國際數學考獲全球最高分的西島中學資優生徐豐，更獲學校首次豁免應考IGCSE餘下科目，今年跳級至第十二班修讀國際文憑（IB）課程。

　　去年有約千名英基學生應考IGCSE，英基昨宣布，劍橋大學國際考試委員會公布港生去年IGCSE的全球排名中，英基轄下港島中學、英皇佐治五世學校及西島中學共六名學生，分別於中文（外語）、商業及國際數學考獲全球最高分；另有六名英基學生於附加數學、科學及世界文學等科目中考獲全港最高分。

　　年僅十六歲的西島中學學生徐豐，去年提早一年報考IGCSE的國際數學科，並考獲全球最高分，他曾參與香港資優教育學院就國際數學奧林匹克香港選拔賽進行的培訓，且屢次於英國的數學比賽獲獎，本應今年修讀第十一班的他，更獲學校破格豁免應考IGCSE餘下科目，跳級至第十二班修讀IB課程，成為該校首個獲准跳班至IB課程的學生。

　　西島中學校長霍珍坦言，花上半年才拍板准許徐豐跳班，形容當日的決定其實有點冒險，「從豐平日的功課，以及他的對答，可發現他的才能比同齡學生高很多，但仍須與任教老師商討跳班的決定，始終IB課程較IGCSE深入很多，亦須重新適應社交環境。」事隔逾半年，除英文科，豐其他科目的IB預測成績均達最高的第七級，霍珍笑言，證明當日的冒險決定十分值得。

　　笑言對數學不太熱衷的徐豐稱，自六、七歲起，在港大教授工程學的爸爸便在家與他操練數學，發掘了他的數學潛能，「每周末做數約三小時，期間爸爸會為我買額外的數學書，教我課堂外的知識。」他笑稱，每周末的操練已成為他的習慣，這種持續奮鬥正是他能在數學科考取佳績的關鍵。

　　徐豐尚餘一年才須決定升學去向，故現仍未作出決定，但希望如哥哥般升讀香港大學醫學院，或往美國升學，「爸爸從美國回流工作，故在美國仍有人脈；港大醫學院較側重國際視野，且課程甚具挑戰，對我亦算適合。

Most (if not all) ESF students that can get good grades are local Chinese that have been with local schools before entering ESF. This is not only true for ESF, but other IS as well. I would be interested to know more the performance of 100% ESF/IS students.

"讀數叻，入醫科其實是條死路！"

Why?  I don't quite understand.  Do you mind telling me more?  Thanks!

Choisumwong

if you are very talented in maths, you are not suitable to study medicine because studying medicine does not need too much logic and thinking. It in fact needs a lot of understanding and memory. My experience is that my classmate very talented in maths ended up depression and change of faculty in only first year of medicine. I strongly believe that medicine is only suitable for all-rounded students. Extremely talented students in one area are likely frustrated in studying medicine.  Every year more than one medicine students will suffer from mental breakdown or even suicide !!

Oh no!  The figure is terrible!

I know CU and HKU would admit the overseas students being transferred to their 2nd or 3rd years because of the vacancies occasioned by the class drop-out. While it is correct that each year one to two students in the pre-clinical stage dropping out the class, I have not heard that every year more than one medicine students suffering from mental breakdown or even committing suicide. Maybe there is one or two every several years but I really do not know.

我対你ＧＥ発言非常質疑、医科不等同ＭＥＤＩＣＩＮＥ架。　不要因為是網絡上ＧＥ発言、就語不驚人死不優。

So, what is the correct name of the course? I believed it's under the medical school right?

个人直接和间接认识以上四个学生, 全是ESF产品. 值得商确是Chinese as foreign language 的paper 太浅, 是否全港或全球的1st cohort , 没有很大的指标作用,

事实上其它IS 每年也有不少学生是top of HK or top of the world, 只是没有高度宣宣布而已!
