你地的小朋友有冇考?
剛發了成績, 成績似乎不錯
我仔仔的英文成績係high distinction top 1% of P4 participants in HK, math係top3%
唔知有什麼学校參加呢?

moyan,

I heard that some PLK schools will join this assessment, but not sure whether all or just some schools will join it.

It will be interesting to find out the list of schools in HK  that will participate in this assessment and then we can roughly know what level our children  will be?

Is it only for P.4 pupils?
What about P.5 and P. 6 pupils??

Is it an assessement for English and Maths only?

呢个exam係比 P3 to F4学生經学校自行報考
所以P5 and P6可以考
Math只有英文題目,相信只有小部份保良局学生參加, 除了英,數外,還有科学可報考

你的小朋友讀幾年班?

principal

moyan,

My child is in P.2. now.
That means my child can join it in the coming academic year.

In which month will this assessment be held?

yes, your kid can take the exam next year
if i am not wrong, the exam was held in march

principal

moyan,

Thanks.

Congratulations to your child's good performance.

As this assessment is joined by pupils voluntarily, as far as you know, roughly how many % of a class will join it??

thanks principal!!
according to my son, 80-90% of his classmates joined the assessment.

principal

moyan,

80-90% of a class will join it.
Quite a lot.
But there is no harm to join it.

I think you are talking about the following assessment.
Please see the link below.

But I cannot find the list of schools in HK that will
participate in this assessment.

moyan,

Your son's result is really good.  Mine one is only counted top 5% of Hong Kong primary schools.

Sorry to interrupt.  Found the results also today fr the school's website.  Is it an assessment for certain level say P5&6, or all pupils from P1-6 can join?  The school only released the no. of distinctions, credits,etc but no info of the total TSL pupils participating.   And is it an assessment of authority?  Any use?  Thanks.

moyan,

If there will be a way to find out the full list, we will know the real picture better.
I only know some PLK schools will join the assessment but do not know exactly which ones.

Top 5% of primary schools in HK is definitely not bad!!!

carsondaddy,

No need to say sorry as this is an open forum that everyone can make  
his/her comment here.

According to moyan, this assessment is for pupils from P.3 to F.4.

It's true that we cannot assess the overall result of TSL this time without knowing the total numbers of pupils who have participated in the assessment this year.

Thanks, Mr Principal,

I have another naive question to ask?  Does TSL have ranking for exams and also banding classifications (band 1,2,3), so that students can join the central allocation for secondary schools according to banding?

principal

carsondaddy,

This is not a naive question.
Many parents would like to know this.

Yes, there is a ranking of pupils internally at TSL according to the examination result.

As for the banding of pupils, I think only the school will know this and it is not allowed to announce such information publicly.
I think normally parents of P.5-P.6 pupils will ask the school/teachers to get some information about the bandng of their children when they need to fill in the form for choosing secondary schools.

Principal,

Thanks. Then do you know the percentage of band 1 students in the last few years?  According to the school's info of 06/07, there were 174 graduates.  Out of them,  62 band 1 students and  71 students going to DSS.  Students  going to DSS are even more than those going to traditional schools, why?  And  it is hard to figure out the actual number of band 1.

principal

carsondaddy,

To be honest with you, personally I do not place a top priority on how many % of band 1, 2 and 3 pupils this school has.
If I concern such figures very much, I might not choose TSL for my child.
Also, the banding of pupils may change every year.

As you know well, the "rule of the game" may change again and again in the coming years.

What concerns you more is what the system (or rule of the game)  would be for your child 6 years later.
No one knows what will happen in future.
