Being a member of the board of directors, I think we should first prioritize the targets: what do we want our mother school to achieve within (say) three years, given our limited resources & rigid political structures?
1. A school with outstanding public exam results?
2. A school with students having "good" ethics or personal characters?
3. A school with outstanding performance in extra-curriculum activities?
...etc. (you are welcome to give more suggestions!)
Of course, we want them all, but the reality does not allow this to happen, at least in the near future. The next step is to break down the objectives into more specific goals. For instance,
Re (1) above: To push academic results, which areas should we focus on? Science/art/language/business? Which subjects (English? Maths? Physics? Economics?)? Which levels (f.3? f.5? f.7? keeping the new 3-3-4 system in mind)?
Re (2) above: Which aspects of personal characters do we think is the most important? Independence? Critical thinking? Social skills? Br.bosco's three-finger philosophy? Poon sir's "gentle in manner & resolute in action"?
...etc.
All the above goals need to be prioritized. To do this, we can ask ourselves: if an outsider is asked to comment on SFXC, what would you like him to answer?
1. I never heard of it...is it at Shek Kip Mei? (this is perhaps our current status?)
2. It is a Band 1 school! (like Wah Yan, DBS, etc.?)
3. Its students speak very good English (like Marynoll?).
4. It students have very good conduct.
5. It has a very strong basketball team.
...etc.
So, do you have any opinions on the future directions of our school? My opinion is that academic results should take priority, and I want SFXC to build upon its strength on Maths (both Shing sir and John sir are excellent and I learnt much from them). The second priority should go to culture students' personal characters, and I want to see SFXC students having qualities like "willing to share/sacrifice". Anyway, these are my narrow-minded opinions which you may disagree. I am more than happy to know your views.
After identifying some directions, we can proceed to solve the "how" question: how to achieve the targets? Perhaps we shall deal with this later?
