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.
嘉諾撒聖瑪利書院(上智)為傳統女校,校風嚴謹,學術風氣濃厚,學生勤奮自發。功課量適中,但測驗頻密,且需學樂器。插班及自行收生競爭激烈,面試具決定性。適合學術能力強、自律性高、能適應嚴格管教及多元語境的家庭。
校風嚴謹,管教直接,早年有當眾責罵情況;近年讀書風氣濃厚,學生自發溫習,老師個別關顧,但校舍環境壓迫,情緒健康受關注。
功課量適中,學生在校多能完成,測驗頻密但視作溫習;中一至中三需學樂器並計分,增加額外壓力。
插班流程多輪,筆試後分批面試,部分需見校長並即場註冊;自行收生學額少,競爭激烈,插班名額亦少,需級一成績。
插班面試第三輪需見校長,家長陪同,可能要求即場演奏樂器,合適者即時註冊,面試具決定性。
中一至中三有普通話教中文班,早會輪流用英語或普通話,語境多元,但學生需適應。
