Re: 有無人miss咗小拔入學申請

Mountianyear:

I think you have a little bit misunderstand my question.



Since you provided the achievement of you friend's son. I want to know whether such achievments are good enough or not  for the application.

Of course, 50% of mark will subject to written exam.
And as told in last Saturday's seminar, it seems that the ECA will not be tested since no interview will be performed. And he was ranked 7 in a private school (La Salle ???), I supposed his academic is good enough.

In my understanding, school music festival divided into different grade, therefore, if he got champion in grade 2 (P.4 around 9-10 yrs old). it may not be an advantage. But if he attended grade 5, it is different.

All I want to know is his grade attended.

If you don't mind, (I deleted some of my passage since my friend don't like it), I would like to analyse his achievement. No matter he win or not, it will give us an index.

My comments as follow:
-------------------------------------------------
-Three awards in School Music Festival including two champions in the string instrument.

Good! but what grade with respect to his age is important.

-Silver Medal in Table Tennis by HKTTA;

Ditto

-Ability to swim in 37 seconds in 50m freestyle;


I've check in my son's swimming club yesterday, the winner of the recent West Kln xx competition, for 9-10 years group, 30.xx sec. sounds not excellent, but it is quite good actually.

-Wei's IQ Test report scored 128;

Should be very high!

-Cambridge Flyer with 14 stars;
-Seven in form in a private school in P4.
No comments
---------------------------------------------------

I hope if mountainyear agree, we could discuss it as a reference, if you don't like it, I will delete my analysis asap.

Re: 有無人miss咗小拔入學申請

ykwong,

It is quite interesting that you show intense interests in my two friends. I think my friends will kill me if I disclose their sons' identities in BK.

Regarding my non-LS friend, I just illustrate how they as parents have dedicated to pave the way for their son to enter the esteemed school like DBS or St. Paul Co-ed. They indeed have no intention to let their son to become the No. 1 in the inter-school competition in sports but they just ensure something can be filled in the  sports achievement sheet.

For music activities, if you analyze the winner lists of the music fest during the past three years, you can see that there are many winners who have scored the champions in consecutive two or three years. This year's music fest have produced 65 champions in the string solo competitions and 25 champions in the primary woodwind solo competitions. At least several Grade 8 高級組 champions are won by P.4 or P.5 students. I think you may better invite the parents of these winners to speak in BK as they are really the benchmark for you to compare.

Re: 有無人miss咗小拔入學申請

I am a bit puzzled about the selection criteria of DBSPS.

It is no doubt DBSPS loves those music and sports elites from the famous schools like LaSalle, Kowloon Tong Alliance, Kei Wan, etc. But as the academic parts (50% written tests+ 20% academic results) constitute the majority of marks, how can DBS ensure that these music/sports elites can be picked under the 20% music/sports item?

Did any parents attending the briefing session hear the answers?

Re: 有無人miss咗小拔入學申請

I guess the top guys should have no difficulties in entering, while the middle stream one (just comparision) could provide a better benchmark.

I am interested because I want to join this game, and want to know more about their selection criteria. If it is far from standard, then don't put unnecessary effort.

youma:

if the written test result is close, and I guess it could be, then the achievement in music and sport will definetely influence the selection.

Re: 有無人miss

Hi ykwong,

Can you tell me about the briefing held on last saturday? I had attended the P1 admission briefing last year. The headteacher introduced the school - DBS history, commitee members, school building, curriculum, nos. of teachers.....etc, Q & A.  Most of the questions were the no. of applications and the chance of admission.

Is there any difference ?

Re: 有無人miss

I didn't attend while my wife did, mainly same as what you mentioned, and the structure of selection: same as mentioned in the application form. Only funny things was in the Q & A session. Most of the questions were asked by some existing international school parents, asking for advantages for their kids due to their academic inadquate when compare with local school students.

No interview will be conducted, result just according to the written exam and the information you provided. Nothing worth to tell you.

So yours may be mine's competitor next year, wait to meet you.

Re: 有無人miss

I have two friends applying DBSPD for their sons. They are not concerned about losing but whether it is a fair game.

It is not an issue if a school sets special criteria such as sports/music talents, academic performance or even "potential contribution” to the school. But it is an issue if the said selection criteria are not followed and some criteria are hidden.

Based on DBSPS’s marking scheme, it is apparent that academic seems the most important factor (70% in total!). But, as ykwong has made a good point, the written test results of all candidates can be very close, e.g. an easy paper can give good marks to all candidates (so are the marks to academic results). Then the determining factor will be the sports/music performance and old boys.

Who are the target students of DBSPS? Maybe Philipwhau gives good hints : 1. kids from international kindergartens? 2. rich background? 3. good performers in sports/music? and 4. old boys of good social standing?

Since a DSS school receives more money from Government (taxpayers) than a subsidized/govt schools, its admission process should be similarly open, transparent and fair. In other words, every applicant should have the same chance to be admitted under the said criteria, rather than based his family background or other hidden factors. Am I correct?

As DBSPS is a prominent and popular school, I think it should demonstrate more on its impairment, transparency and fairness.

Re: 有無人miss

看小拔的招生要求. 對象家長學生是要擁有: 時間, 金錢, 才能, 努力, 缺一不可. 音樂體育的培育, 到較高程度級別時, 每月非三四仟元不可. 加上學費, 難以哉! 不過, 有能力同時學兩樣樂器, 體育培訓, 學業補習的家庭, 也真不少.

Re: 有無人miss咗小拔入學申請

Dear Philipwhau,

你的information 有小小不正確，請再看看以下你所提供的學額:
------------------------------------
2. There still have chance to apply for DPS PD next year for your son. According to the student intake schedule according to the P. 1 briefing session last year, the programme for intake is as follows:-

04/05 : 150 places for P. 1, 120 places for P. 2, 120 places for P. 3, 60 places for P. 4, 60 places for P. 5 and 30 places for P. 6

05/06 : 30 places for P. 3, 30 places for P. 4, 30 places for P. 6

06/07 : 30 places for P. 5

07/08 : 90 places for P.6

you may see the briefing powerpoint posted in their website for reference.
--------------------------------

其實只有"05/06 : 30 places for P. 3, 30 places for P. 4"是對的，你其他的推算都算錯了。

我初時還夢想到07/08年還有插班的機會，原來只是一場誤會，空歡喜了一場。我也是click 入DBS 的網頁才知道。Click 這裡 Page 6

換句話說，如果今年沒有成功插班進入DBSPD，那麼就只在05/06年度的P3/P4 學生們有最後一次插班進入DBSPD的機會了。

Dear YKwong,

Does DBJS really accept your son's late application? How to submit the late application?
