It would be just a loss loss situation to both the school and its students if you allow all of the band 3 students of the primary school to be promoted to its band 1 feeder secondary school.
under the current medium of instruction requirements, a EMI school need to have at least 85% of its S1 intakes being top 40% of students in hk in term of english learning capability - i.e. basically band 1 students and band 2 students good in english.
my son studied at sjps and he is now promoted to its feeder secondary school sjc. sjps has about 150 P6 graduates, about 110 are band 1 / 2 students and the remaining 40 students are band 3. There are 180 S1 places at sjc. if SJC accepts all the band 3 students of its feeder school, it can hardly meet the 85% requirement and its EMI school status will be at risk. besides, its public examination results will inevitably be deteriorated if it lowers its curriculum standards to accommodate the band 3 students. when sjc public examination results deteriorate, parents of band 1 students may choose other DSS or government / subsidized secondary schools with 100% band 1 intakes for their son. this will just become a vicious cycle.
for the band 3 students, it is still very challenging even sjc has resources and is willing to create a less demanding class for them. this is because the medium instruction is a major barrier. those band 3 students with lower proficiency in english will find the all english materials in every single subject very difficult to master. even they are willing to spend plenty of time in studying, they may end up using most of the time search the meaning of their unfamiliar vocabularies from the dictionary. it just doesn't work.
if sjc wants to be a thru-train school to accept all the sjps students, there are just two alternatives: -
1. transform to a DSS school to control the quality of its P1 intake by rejecting all the potential band 3 students at the very beginning; or
2. sjps to become a much pushy school to minimize the number of its band 3 students.
option 1 is an unlikely option as all lasallian schools are reluctant to do so while the effectiveness of option 2 is questionable.
sjps actually do its best to help its students who cannot be allocated to sjc. its principal will invite teachers from tang king po college, a good band 2 school in wanchai school net, to visit the primary school on the SSPA announcement day providing information about "knocking door" procedures to those students who need help.
