Parent commentary
Parent commentary and interview notes below are summarised from Chinese-language forum sources and are shown in the original Chinese. Ask the AI assistant in English for a grounded summary of any of it.
拔萃男書院作為傳統名男校,校風自由,重視全人發展及運動,學術壓力近年漸增。適合主動學習、有體育或音樂特長、能適應自由環境的學生。家庭需留意學費加幅及插班學業銜接。
校風自由,學生古靈精怪,但老師普遍嚴厲,嚴中有彈性。2020年前學習氣氛較鬆散,近年趨向嚴謹,重視全人發展及領袖培養。
早年功課量少,學生在校完成,但2018年起Quiz頻密,課程加深,IB班壓力尤大。整體學業壓力呈上升趨勢。
面試形式多變,早年以遊戲活動為主,不考學術;近年轉為學術測試,包括中英數科學及閱讀報告提問,並重視特異功能。安排漸趨規範。
學校接受中二至中五插班,近年積極招攬運動尖子,提供獎學金,但學業支援需留意。插班程序以往筆試為主,近年或有變動。
師資質素參差,有NET紀律差,本地老師較認真。教學風格因老師而異,部分嚴厲,部分鼓勵創意。

Special Educational Needs (SEN) support
