聖若瑟書院 St. Joseph's College (SJC)

2025-2026 Integrated Assessment Practice

Part 1: Reading Aloud and Comprehension

First, please read the following passage aloud. Then, answer the questions that follow.

St. Joseph's College was founded in 1875. Its motto is "Labore et Virtute," which means "Labour and Virtue." The school's historic North Block and West Block are declared monuments in Hong Kong. For 150 years, SJC has been a place where "Josephians" build strong friendships, often called the "Green and White" brotherhood. The school encourages students not just to be good at books, but to develop in sports, music, and serving the community. Many famous alumni, like the singer Alfred Hui and the artist Jan Lamb, often come back to share their experiences with students.

Follow-up Questions:

1. The motto is "Labour and Virtue". You are on the school football team and also have a lot of math homework. How would you show "Labour and Virtue" in this situation?

2. The passage mentions a "Green and White" brotherhood and that famous alumni come back to school. Why do you think this brotherhood is so important for SJC?

Part 2: Creative Expression & School Life (中文創意與校園生活)

請準備一段約 1.5 分鐘的短講。

在聖若瑟書院150週年開放日，有棉花糖和雞蛋仔等美食攤位，還有師兄許廷鏗的表演，非常熱鬧。想像一下，如果你是學生會的成員，負責籌備明年的校慶開放日，你會加入什麼新的、又能體現「綠白精神」的活動？考慮到你懂得日文和有攀石經驗，你可以怎樣運用這些技能為活動增添創意？

Part 3: Picture Storytelling & Teamwork

Look at the picture below and tell a short story about it in about 1.5 minutes. After your story, explain how this relates to your own experience.

🏃‍♂️ ➔ baton ➔ 🏃‍♂️ ➔ 🏆

We know from your file that you were a 4x100m relay champion in primary school. How is teamwork in a relay race similar to being a good student at SJC?

Part 4: Mathematical and Logical Thinking (數學與邏輯思維)

請細心閱讀題目並解釋你的解題步驟。

聖若瑟書院的北座大樓有很多美麗的拱形窗戶。假設一個半圓形拱門，它的底部闊度是6米。我們想在拱門下放置一個長方形的舞台，舞台的一邊緊貼著拱門的底部。為了穩定，舞台的高度不能超過拱門半徑的一半。請問這個長方形舞台的最大面積是多少平方米？你在奧數比賽（如華夏盃、AIMO）中學到的解難技巧，如何幫助你解決這類問題？

九龍華仁書院 Wah Yan College, Kowloon (WYK)

2025-2026 Integrated Assessment Practice

Part 1: Self-Introduction & Personal Reflection

Please introduce yourself in about 1 minute. Tell us about one hobby you are passionate about.

Your record shows you enjoy many activities like playing the piano, golf, and Chinese chess. Choose one. How has this hobby taught you to be a "Man for and with others," which is the spirit of Wah Yan College?

Part 2: Scenario Analysis & School Spirit (中文情景分析與華仁精神)

請思考以下情景，並用約 1.5 分鐘分享你的看法。

耶穌會教育一個很重要的部分是「反思」(Reflection)。你在小學時，曾擔任數學大使，也參加過公益少年團。請回憶一次你教同學做數學題，或在社區服務中幫助別人的經歷。你當時是怎樣做的？事後你反思了什麼？這次經歷如何讓你更明白「促進公義，服務他人」的意義？

Part 3: Logical Puzzle & Creative Thinking

Let's solve a puzzle.

Imagine you have a 3x3 grid.

                        [_][_][_]

                        [_][X][_]

                        [_][_][_]

A Chinese chess 'Horse' (馬) is on the square marked 'X'. Can you move the horse to every other square exactly once, without visiting the same square twice? You don't need to give the full path, just explain your first few steps and how you would think about this problem.

Part 4: Balancing Life & Future Plans (生活平衡與未來規劃)

Please look at the drawing of the unbalanced seesaw.

Academics
(Math Olympiad)

▲

Football

Piano

Golf

This seesaw shows that sometimes, our hobbies and schoolwork can be unbalanced. You have won many awards in both. At Wah Yan, a school that values all-round development, how would you try to keep your life balanced? What would you do if you feel too much pressure from one side?

面試策略及參考答案 (機密)

St. Joseph's College - Interview Analysis

1. Reading Aloud and Comprehension

Why this is asked:

此部分首先評估學生的基本英語朗讀能力、發音和流暢度。更重要的是，後續問題測試學生對文章內容的即時理解、分析及應用能力。第一題將校訓「勤勞與美德」與學生的真實生活（運動與學業）聯繫，考察他能否將抽象的校訓具體化，展現時間管理和責任感。第二題則深入探討學生對聖若瑟核心價值「兄弟情」和校友網絡的理解，觀察他是否認同並渴望融入這種獨特的校園文化。策略：朗讀時要清晰、自信。回答問題時，要緊扣校訓和「兄弟情」等關鍵詞，並結合個人經驗（如曾是足球隊員和數學大使）作答，顯示你不是死記硬背，而是真正理解並思考過這些精神。.

Model Answer Guide:

1. How to show "Labour and Virtue": "To show 'Labour', I would work hard in both things. I would make a schedule. For example, after football practice, I will rest for a short while and then focus on my math homework. I will not make excuses. To show 'Virtue', it means doing the right thing. I would not give up on my team, and I would not give up on my studies. I would be responsible to my teammates and also to myself. It is about balancing my duties and trying my best in everything."

2. Why brotherhood is important: "I think the 'Green and White' brotherhood is very important because it means we are like a big family. In a family, older brothers help the younger ones. When famous alumni come back, they are like successful older brothers who show us what is possible and give us advice. This makes students feel proud of the school and want to work hard. This brotherhood also means that even after we graduate, we still have a strong connection and can help each other. It makes SJC a very special and supportive place."

2. Creative Expression & School Life (中文創意與校園生活)

Why this is asked:

此題旨在評估學生的創意、組織能力，以及將個人特長與學校文化融合的思考深度。題目以學校真實的150週年慶典為背景，要求學生不僅僅是重複，而是創新，這能有效測試他的主動性和投入感。提及學生的日文和攀石背景，是為了觀察他能否靈活運用自身技能為團隊作出貢獻，這正正是聖若瑟書院期望學生具備的多元才能與積極參與精神。策略：回答時不要天馬行空，要緊扣「綠白精神」（如兄弟情、互助、傳承）。可以提出一個具體活動名稱，並清晰說明活動內容、如何運用你的技能（日文、攀石），以及這個活動如何體現學校精神。這能展示你的思維清晰、有條理且具執行力。

Model Answer Guide:

「各位老師好。如果由我負責籌備下年的開放日，我會提議一個名為『綠白連線：攀越高峰，文化共融』的新活動。這個活動有兩部分。第一部分，我們可以利用學校的牆壁或運動設施，設置一個小型的室內攀石體驗區，由像我這樣有經驗的同學擔任助教，教導師弟和來賓基本的攀石技巧。這象徵著『聖若瑟仔』勇於挑戰、不斷向上的精神，也體現了師兄幫助師弟的『綠白傳承』。第二部分，我們可以設立一個『日本文化隅』。我可以用我學過的日語，教大家一些簡單的日文問候語，或者介紹一些日本的傳統小遊戲。這能響應之前學校邀請日本舞蹈團Avantgardey的表演，展現我們學校的國際視野。整個活動結合了動感與文化，讓大家在玩樂中學習和交流，更能體現我們聖若瑟大家庭的活力和包容性。」

3. Picture Storytelling & Teamwork

Why this is asked:

此題透過圖像，評估學生的觀察力、想像力、英語表達能力和組織故事的邏輯。將題目與學生個人成就（4x100米接力冠軍）掛鈎，可以讓他從熟悉的領域出發，更自信地表達。核心考察點在於學生能否從個人經歷中提煉出符合學校精神的普適道理，例如團隊合作、信任、責任等，並將其與在SJC的學習生活聯繫起來。這能判斷他是否具備反思能力和團隊意識。策略：講故事時要有開頭、經過和結尾。描述接力賽時，重點不應只在於「贏」，更要強調「交接棒」的瞬間，突出隊員間的信任和配合。解釋關聯性時，要明確指出「接力棒」就像知識和責任的傳承，而隊友就像SJC的同學和師兄，需要互相支持才能共同進步。

Model Answer Guide:

"This picture shows the story of a relay race. The first runner is running very fast, holding a baton. His job is to run his best and then pass the baton smoothly to his teammate. The second runner is ready, waiting for the perfect moment to receive the baton and continue the race. The final picture shows a trophy, which means their teamwork led to victory. The most important part is not just running fast, but passing the baton perfectly. If they drop the baton, they will lose, even if they are all fast runners.

This is very similar to my experience winning the 4x100m relay. And I think being a good student at SJC is like being in a relay team. My primary school teachers passed the 'baton' of knowledge to me. If I join SJC, my new teachers and older schoolmates (the Josephians) will pass their knowledge and the 'Green and White' spirit to me. My job is to learn well and then, in the future, pass this baton to the younger students. We all have to work together and support each other to make the whole school successful, just like winning a race together."

4. Mathematical and Logical Thinking (數學與邏輯思維)

Why this is asked:

此題將幾何問題（半圓與內接長方形求最大面積）與學校的建築特色（北座拱門）相結合，使數學問題更具情境感，測試學生能否將課堂知識應用於解決實際問題。題目設下限制條件（高度不超過半徑一半），增加了複雜性，考驗學生的審題能力和邏輯推理。提及學生的奧數背景，是為了鼓勵他闡述解題的「思路」而不僅僅是答案，從而評估其數學思維的系統性和策略性，例如懂得從限制條件入手，或考慮不同變量之間的關係。策略：解題時，應先清晰地寫出或說出所有已知條件（半徑、高度限制等），然後一步步推導。可以嘗試代入極端數值（例如高度剛好是限制的上限）來思考。在解釋與奧數的關聯時，可以強調奧數訓練了你「系統性思考」和「尋找最佳方案」的能力，而不是單純的計算。

Model Answer Guide:

「老師好。這個問題可以這樣解決：首先，拱門的底部闊度是6米，所以它的半徑(r)就是 6 ÷ 2 = 3米。這個半徑也是拱門最高點的高度。題目說，舞台的高度(h)不能超過半徑的一半，所以 h ≤ 3 ÷ 2，即是 h ≤ 1.5米。我們要找長方形舞台的最大面積，面積 = 長 × 高。這裡的『長』是舞台的闊度(w)。根據圓形的幾何特性，我們可以知道半徑(r)、舞台高度(h)和舞台闊度的一半(w/2)會形成一個直角三角形，其中r是斜邊。所以，(w/2)² + h² = r²。代入r=3，就是 (w/2)² + h² = 9。因為我們要面積最大化，而面積 A = w × h，我們需要找到一對w和h的組合，在符合 h ≤ 1.5 的條件下，使得 w × h 最大。為了讓面積最大，我們應該盡量利用高度，所以我們假設高度 h = 1.5米。然後我們計算闊度w：(w/2)² + (1.5)² = 9，(w/2)² + 2.25 = 9，(w/2)² = 6.75。所以 w/2 = √6.75，w = 2 × √6.75米。因此，最大面積就是 (2 × √6.75) × 1.5 ≈ 7.79平方米。奧數訓練讓我學會先分析所有限制條件，就像這題的『高度限制』，然後從這個關鍵點入手去尋找最佳答案，而不是盲目地計算。」

Wah Yan College, Kowloon - Interview Analysis

1. Self-Introduction & Personal Reflection

Why this is asked:

這題是為了評估學生的溝通能力、自信以及能否反思個人經歷。要求從眾多興趣中選擇一項，並將其與華仁「為人、與人同行」的精神聯繫起來，這能測試他的價值觀和對學校理念的理解深度。這不僅是關於「你做了什麼」，更是關於「你從中學到了什麼，以及這如何使你成為一個更好的人」。策略：自我介紹要簡潔有力。選擇一個你最有感悟的興趣來談，例如團隊運動（足球）或需要對手的活動（中國象棋）。在解釋如何體現華仁精神時，重點要放在「與人同行」上，例如在足球中如何傳球配合、輸球後如何互相鼓勵；或在下棋後如何與對手复盤、共同進步，展示你重視合作與尊重，而非僅僅是個人勝負。

Model Answer Guide:

"Good morning, teachers. My name is [Your Name]. I am a cheerful and curious student. In my primary school, I was a Math Ambassador and a member of the football team. I have many hobbies, but the one I am most passionate about is playing football. To me, football is not just about scoring goals. It has taught me how to be a 'Man for and with others.' In a game, I cannot win alone. I must pass the ball, trust my teammates, and communicate with them. Sometimes we win, sometimes we lose. When we lose, we don't blame each other; instead, we cheer each other up and train harder together. This is being 'with others.' Also, when a new or younger player joins the team, I try to teach them what I know and make them feel welcome. This is being 'for others.' I believe this spirit of teamwork and support is very important, and I hope to bring this spirit to Wah Yan College."

2. Scenario Analysis & School Spirit (中文情景分析與華仁精神)

Why this is asked:

此題旨在深入評估學生是否理解耶穌會教育的核心——「反思」，以及他能否將這一理念應用於個人經歷中。題目結合了學生的背景（數學大使、公益少年團），使問題非常個人化，難以用預設答案應對。這能真實地考察學生的同理心、解難方法以及服務他人的動機。重點在於「事後反思」的環節，學校希望看到學生不僅僅是完成任務，更能從中學習和成長，理解行動背後的深層意義。策略：選擇一個真實的例子。描述經過時，要具體說明你「如何」幫助別人，例如你不是直接給答案，而是用引導的方式；你不只是派發物資，還會關心對方的感受。在「反思」部分，要昇華你的行動，例如從「幫助一個人」領悟到「社會上還有很多人需要幫助」，從而理解「促進公義」是一種持續的責任。

Model Answer Guide:

「老師好。我想分享一次在公益少年團的經歷。我們去探訪一間安老院，任務是陪公公婆婆聊天。起初，我只是問一些簡單問題，例如『你今天好嗎？』，氣氛有點悶。後來，我注意到一位婆婆一直看著窗外。我走過去，不是問她問題，而是跟她說：『今天天氣真好呢。』她就打開了話匣子，跟我聊了很多以前的故事。在那一刻，我意識到幫助別人不只是完成任務，而是要用心觀察和感受對方的需要。

事後我反思，這就是『與人同行』。我不是高高在上的幫助者，而是作為一個同行者，陪伴她度過了一個下午。這次經歷讓我明白，『服務他人』的起點是同理心，而『促進公義』就是希望社會上每一個人，無論老幼，都能被看見、被聆聽。作為數學大使，我教同學時也一樣，我會先聆聽他不懂的地方，而不是直接告訴他答案。我希望未來在華仁，能繼續學習如何更好地服務他人。」

3. Logical Puzzle & Creative Thinking

Why this is asked:

這個問題（騎士巡遊問題的簡化版）不是要學生給出正確答案，而是要觀察他的解題「過程」。這能評估學生的邏輯思維、空間想像力、系統性規劃能力以及在面對難題時的態度。華仁書院重視理性思辨，此題能有效看出學生是否具備這種潛質。要求解釋「如何思考」，比單純的答案更能反映其高階思維能力。策略：不要慌張，記住重點是展示思路。你可以拿起筆和紙，邊畫邊說。先解釋「馬」的走法（日字）。然後可以採用「窮舉法」或「邊角優先」的策略，例如「馬在角落時選擇最少，所以我會先從邊緣的格子開始嘗試」。展示你願意嘗試、不怕犯錯並能有條理地解決問題的態度，比完美答案更重要。

Model Answer Guide:

"This is an interesting puzzle. First, I need to remember how a Chinese chess 'Horse' moves. It moves in an 'L' shape: one step straight and then one step diagonally. From the center 'X', the horse can move to all 8 squares around the edge of a bigger 5x5 square. But on this 3x3 grid, it can't move anywhere, because there are no squares at the end of the 'L' shape.

Ah, I think I misunderstood the picture. Let's assume the 'X' is a starting point in a larger board, but we only care about the 3x3 grid. Let's place 'X' in the corner instead. For example, if 'X' is at the top-left, it can move to two squares inside the grid. My strategy would be to move to the square that has fewer next moves available. This is a common strategy in puzzles like this, called Warnsdorff's rule. I would try to visit the corner squares early, as they are the hardest to reach. I would draw out the grid and use arrows to track my path, and if I get stuck, I would backtrack and try a different path. It requires careful and systematic thinking."

4. Balancing Life & Future Plans (生活平衡與未來規劃)

Why this is asked:

此題旨在評估學生的自我認知和抗壓能力。透過具象化的「不平衡天秤」，讓學生思考一個非常現實的問題。華仁書院希望招收的學生不僅學業優異，而且身心健康，懂得如何管理時間和壓力，實現「全人發展」。提及學生的眾多獎項是為了肯定他的努力，同時也引導他思考成功背後的挑戰。學校希望了解他對未來中學生活的規劃是否成熟、實際。策略：回答時要先承認「平衡」的重要性，並表現出你已經在思考這個問題。可以提出一些具體的平衡策略，如制定時間表、設定優先順序、保證休息時間等。在談到如何應對壓力時，要表現出積極的態度，例如會向老師、家人或朋友求助，或者會透過運動來減壓，而不是選擇逃避或放棄。這能展現你的成熟和韌性。

Model Answer Guide:

"This picture is very true for me sometimes. I love Math Olympiad, but I also love playing football and piano. At Wah Yan, I know I will have more schoolwork, but I don't want to give up my hobbies because they make me a more complete person.

To keep the seesaw balanced, my plan is to use a timetable. I will set specific times for homework, for football practice, and for piano practice. For example, I will finish my homework first after school, so I can enjoy my hobbies without worrying. I also need to be smart. When I have a big exam coming, maybe I will spend a little less time on hobbies that week. But after the exam, I can play more.

If I feel too much pressure from one side, like from academics, I won't just keep quiet. I think it is important to talk to someone. I would talk to my parents, my teachers, or my new friends at Wah Yan. I might also go play football to relax my mind. I believe that being a good student is not just about getting high scores, but also about being happy and healthy."
