培正中學是band1頭、中、定係尾呢?

It is the fact that Pui Ching is not a Band 1 school if you defined the band 1 schools should have a lot of band 1 students.

From the latest information, Pui Ching has nearly 50% is band 1 students.  (Note: this rate keeps changing every year).
Each year there are some outsider students allocated by lucky draw which may be those band1/band2 students.  But most of their performance is not good compare with those promoted from Pui Ching Primary. Even both are band 2 students; Pui Ching’s academic level is higher. Actually, many DSS like to enroll Pui Ching student even they are not in band 1 as they know that we have a higher standard.

There is no need for the Primary students to do a lot of exercise for the school to increase the number of band 1 students.
School is only teaching according to their own syllabus. Only starting from this year, they change some of the exam content which more close to the TSA.
It is more important to have the Primary school to educate the students so as to achieve the goals of the Middle school.

In fact, with less than 70% of band 1 students, Pui Ching Middle school is successful in achieving the good results compare with school with those over 90% band 1 students.  

Most people may have the impression that Pui Ching is a traditional school. When my children are studying here, I found that the school keep changing and trying to find the best way to meet with the changing requirements.
One example is they are using story books and articles for teaching English in Primary school instead of Text books.  Pincipal always telling the parents to establish the reading habbit for their children.  Very few and simple dictation for both Chinese and English (only once for every two weeks).  They have 中國文學欣賞 from P1.  It will cover 詩歌、粵由、文章欣賞 etc which is not under exam syllabus.  Many group projects but most are done at school.
Parents will not involve too much as this have very little impact on the marks.
Many activities during lunch time and I am impressed by the shows- 紅藍藝坊which allow students to do their own performance on stage during lunch time. It is not compulsory to learn any musical instruments even they have a well organized 中樂圉 and orchestra.
I heard a student choose to rap a song during the music exam in class.

In the Pui Ching Middle school, there are two class teachers.
There is Eng Literature for all students from F.1.
As told by the school, they are going to have two classes of通識in English in the new 334 system.

Compare with other elite schools, it is not top in terms of academic results but the students here are happy, devoted to their school life, confident and responsible as the school is very emphasis in all round development.
Actually, if you are top in Pui Ching Primary school, you could easily get into other elite schools.


Hope this information could help. Also, if your children are going to be P1 this year, he should able to enjoy the free education in Pui Ching Middle School from F1 to F6.
