“Imagine boys in school uniforms bustling around here in Wan Chai. This is Hong Kong Tang King Po College. It is more than just a school. It is a place where young minds are nurtured.
Hong Kong Tang King Po College uses Chinese as the major medium of instruction. This aided boys’ secondary school is estimated as Band 2B. The school’s Sino-Anglo Index reflects the weightings of Chinese and English. This is as MOI in the school.
The index is calculated from the MOI of each senior secondary subject. Weight is given by the number of candidates of that subject in HKDSE. Subjects using Chinese or English as MOI are considered as half a subject. This applies if it is by class or by group. Chinese Language, English Language and Other Language Subjects are purged. This is in the calculation.
Originally, “Band” refers to the 3 bands. Primary 6 pupils are divided by the EDB. This is according to academic performance for Secondary School Places Allocation. The most outperforming pupils are put into Band 1. Many parents classify the secondary schools. They use HKDSE performance and the admission rate to the universities. Each band is further divided into A, B and C. This is for the top, middle and bottom of a band respectively. Banding of a school is not official information.
The school collects official information about performance in HKDSE. They also collect pathways of the students. This is for analysis and statistics. This helps to evaluate the banding of each school as a reference. The scores obtained are used for determining the school ranking. More detailed information disclosed by the schools means higher accuracy in the banding estimate. For schools that do not disclose such information, subjective factors are considered. Moreover, there are differences in the performance of the students of every cohort.
The Hong Kong Tang King Po College website offers information about the school. You can find the IMC, Class Structure and Curricula there. You will also find the Annual Theme and School Calendar. Plans, reports, and the school song are available as well. There is even a message from the principal.
Hong Kong Tang King Po College is not just a place of learning. It is a community. It fosters growth. It prepares students for the future. It embraces both Chinese and English languages. The school helps students to be well-rounded individuals.”
