Re: DBSPD and DPS

DPS is a government subsidised school and therefore you don't have to pay for the school fee.  It had been a boys' school supplying students to Diocesan Boys' School.  Regretfully, its function as a 'feeding school' of Diocesan Boys' School is about to come to an end.   With a view to maintaining its life in the long run, DPS now accepts girl students.

DBSPD is a newly established direct subsidised school and charging a school fee of $3,800 per month.  It has 'through-train' arrangement with Diocesan Boys' School.  Indeed, DBSPD was built within the big and elegant campus of Diocesan Boys' School; its status and relationship with the latter are obvious to everybody.  It is because of its relationship with the secondary school, DBSPD was born as one of the 'top' primary schools in town.

The way of getting entry to DPS is either by siblings' inheritance or by luck.  For DBSPD, it depends on your son's own ability (and perhaps also yours!).
  
In my view, the first thing that you need to think of is how you can secure a place for your son in DBSPD instead of considering its mission, extra curriculum activities and others.

Re: DBSPD and DPS

Hi uniquemum,

If your son cannot sit still, it will be hard to get into  any of these traditional schools.  Maybe your son will be happier at an ESF or international school.  We have a neighbour who is British, his son is very smart and speaks perfect English and Cantonese. But he has a short temper and cannot sit still, and he failed most of his interviews including DBSPD (and no luck with the DPS draw).

Like LLT said it is not easy to secure a place in either school, unless your son has some special talent. It does help a little if your husband is an old boy and belongs to the same church.

Given that you manage to get a place at both schools, most people will opt for DBSPD simply because of the "through-train" aspect. And it does have a very nice, new, big campus.  Perhaps you should go to the DBSPD Open Day this Sunday afternoon (Feb-11). I'm sure the teachers will be glad to answer all your questions.

Good luck,
ttpp
