1.Secondary students need to rush to apply a place in
Form 6,like Sg JC ya-ear 1.Very messy.Not limited
to this school.Read next week see how students
run like a mad door to enrol into Form 6!!
Overnight wait for slot is pointless, sixth form college
says (South China Morning Post) 2 Aug 2006(read NOTE below)
A popular sixth form college has called on parents not to surround
the school next week on the night before their children receive the
results of their Hong Kong Certificate of Education
Examination.
Camping out overnight would not help students gain a place at the
school, said Darnay Chan Siu-kui, the principal of the Po Leung Kuk
Vicwood K.T. Chong Sixth Form College in Tai Kok Tsui.
"The Education and Manpower Bureau has already identified our
school as likely to attract crowds, and hundreds of parents are
expected to queue up outside our college. Police officers will be
deployed around our school," Dr Chan said.
Po Leung Kuk, the city's only subsidised sixth form college, is
offering about 360 Form Six places. Competition is intense, with
many students attracted by the range of subjects it offers. "I have
said this many times, but parents still do not believe me. Some
told me they ... wanted to show their children their love and care,
so they started lining up overnight."
As was the case last year, parents will receive numbered coupons,
but Dr Chan stressed it was exam results that mattered. Students
would not be admitted on a first-come, first-served basis, he
said.
The average scores of last year's intake were 19 points for arts
students and 23 for science students. The maximum score is 30
points. The school claims between 70 and 80 per cent of its Form
Seven graduates go on to university.
"Parents and students should deduct four points from last year's
average scores as a reference point. If they fail to obtain a high
enough score, they should not waste their time in a queue," Dr Chan
said. "Many students with excellent results apply for our school,
because certain subjects they want to take may not be offered by
their own secondary schools."
The medium of instruction at the school is English and Dr Chan
warned that students who had learned in Chinese might find it
difficult to adjust. "Less than 10 per cent of our admission is
from Chinese-medium schools."
Dr Chan reminded all Form Five school-leavers to plan ahead before
the release of the HKCEE results.
"They should estimate what grades they will get and think of what
they will do if their result is better or worse than expected, or
just as good as expected," he said.
Application forms for places at the college can be downloaded at .
A seminar will be held on Saturday for prospective students. Call
2390 5010 or 2392 4162 for details.
