無論信心充足否，學校也可能想吸引多些 debenture 學生。

正如之前有講過，只出了兩批私人及公司債券，即持債券入讀學生人數上限已定，目前只有公司債券可申請，數目唔清楚但相信不会多過私人債券。

It seems vsa highly prioritize debenture holders. From their interview and selection process, they interview and give offers to siblings and debenture holders earlier (I call this "first round"). Then they would interview children with no siblings plus non-debenture holders as the "second round". This is in essence, giving priority to debenture holders.

To be honest this seems unfair, for debenture holders to get earlier offers compared to non-debenture holders who are currently studying at their kindergarten. Shouldn't All students be assessed and given offers at the same time? In addition, If debenture holders really do get multiple chances of reassessments throughout the year, vsa might as well just give the debenture holders a sure pass into admission...

Well, having admission priority is not unusual, local schools Alumni marks, religion marks, sibling, etc.

It should be notice that other schools only give higher priority to attain interview or assessment  ...

I see what you mean.  But even if you call it priority interview, it means they are faster than others in admission after the interview.The difference is, most schools will require the same student interview performance in a "single" interview as other applicants having no priorities.

討論無意思

cdnis offer 是超難得到的

你有2 間完整的offer 再算


cdnis 較自由




grade 1-6 assessment 少，學校鼓勵運動

grade 7 開始多功課, 無樹無幹，　不須見家長

grade 10,11,12 三年讀書辛苦,11:30pm -1am  才睡眠　


最後兩間學校上到最後兩年

命運一樣！　災難！

No, what I mean other schools would not give faster admission for those with higher interview priori ...

This is exactly why i feel the process is unfair. Siblings and debenture holders get interviewed first, and immediately be given offers. After the first batch of offers are given, non debenture holders and children with no siblings are interviewed to fight for the remaining spots. It means the first batch of students have less competition overall as the number of applicants will be lower.

I understand that siblings could get priority in interviews and admission....but giving the same preferential treatment to debenture holders? I guess money is more important than the child's interview.

個個人讀書方式和能力不同，"夜瞓" 冇太大指標性。

My eldest daughter is in CDNIS and son in VSA.  Both schools follow IB.  Regarding difficulty, yes, IB is really difficult, and because the assessments are all year round, there seldom is a time when there are no essays or assessments, so, they have to study until 1am everyday except during holidays.  

In my opinion, CDNIS is better in Arts subjects, and Humanities while VSA is better in Math and Sciences.

My kids are also in IB, so I know the curriculum well.
My point was simply that what time a student go to bed, is not a pointer to whether a curriculum is hard or whether a school is good.
My daughter's classmate goes to bed at 11pm everyday, and his PG was 43.
