DBSPC 會唔會好似SPCC唔喜歡收年尾出生的小朋友

請問DBSPC 係唔係同SPCC 一樣唔會收年尾出生的小朋友?  真係好担心...  唔想再失望

And the third type is musically talented.

agreed. 我估dbs要主要收兩類型的小朋友, 第一類讀書叻, 第二類運動叻, 所以這兩方面不一定是大仔取勝. 細仔是有機會的.

I think the chance for DBSPC to accept small boy is higher. Their criteria are different: SPCCPS prefer smart, mature and behaved kids, DBSPC focus on the kid's creativtiy and talent rather than the age.

According to my friends, SPCC's headmistress did explicitly told in previous admission talks that smaller boys & girls are less preferable. She even joked that smaller kids have a second chance in the following year (this year, she only told in an indirect manner).

Of course, smaller kids naturally are less mature esp at the age of 5-6. The gap will be narrowed till zero at a later stage. Though I think it's a bit cruel to expel these students who may in fact be talented based on the birth month, I have to face the reality.

Conclusion: to get into "popular schools", bigger kids need to be smart; smaller kids to be SUPER smart (better to be taller to "mislead" assessors' attention).

Schools will not tell you that they prefer big kids. Even SPCC headmistress only said big kids are normally more mature and well developed and therefore have a better performance in interview. That's the reason why we see more big kids being admitted to the school But the headmistress also mentioned that there are smart small kids that they could identify in interview.

So the critical thing is, is your kid smart enough. Even big kids can fail, if they are not outstanding enough. By the way, whether big or small, this only makes the chance of being accepted increase from 'almost impossible' to 'very difficult'. Not much difference, as famous schools usu have most of their seats allocated to related parties.

Anyway, we should not feel sorry about our kids being small kids. They are all god blessed.

I think it's true that SPCC & DBS prefer "bigger kids". At least SPCC's principal did mention this point in previous year's admission talk.

My son is an Oct-born boy while frankly, he got second round interview opportunities for ALL the schools we applied except SPCC.Though I understand that SPCC places for unrelated parties are very limited, I believe "smaller boys/ girls" are really disadvantaged.

Smaller kids' moms, Don't feel stressed. The game is cruel, however as long as we have taken part in it, we have to follow the rules of game.

I don't think smaller boys are weaker candidates. Cheer up!

civic,

You're right.  Hope we can get a good news.   

wait.......

eileenycm,

I totally understand your worry. However, the game is really cruel, what we can do is try to avoid thinking too much. Too many assumptions will only create bigger pressure.

I finished interview today, DGJS, this time, not many pressure. Just send my daughter there and tell her to be polite only.

As a parent, we can only help kid to submit application form and send them to have interview. All is out of our control. Relax. SPCC gave me a good lesson.

機會的確較微, 但我相信父母們若沒apply過亦可能會覺得好像沒有給自己一個嘗試的機會。我一開始時, 也只是抱著去見識下, 得的話當然像得bonus一樣, 但若落空了, 也就當是去參觀過. 希望大家都能等到好消息!

其實，冇父兄關係又唔係聖公會，係唔係機會好微呢？

我都有些unexpected我的仔仔可以有SPCC 的2nd in, 因為我也是什麼關係也沒有的, 亦不是聖公會的members, 在app form上的編碼只是B. 沒錯我的兒子是大仔, 但我相信學校看的是他的面試表現和他在幼稚園的成績(兩年Academic excellence awards, 及老師的comments), 所以我也沒有在外面給他報太多興趣班, 也當然沒有拿過什麼獎狀。另外, 因他的幼稚園自K2便有免費的小一面試班開給學生, 所以他們也算有充分的練習。我相信學校不會盲目地只算大仔, 因我相信細仔也有很成熟的。不過, 比較起來, 大一點的孩子一般是會較有優勢, 尤其是學校只有150個位, 所以我也覺得這個遊戲確是很cruel. 三年前, 我的大兒子已讓我試過足足等到翌年6月才知結果...所以我絕對明白箇中的難捱感覺。

Hi, Civic,

試過spcc 真係有些失去信心 , 唔係對囝囝, 而係怕咗d 真係會寧願選d大囝同唔選d有好表現嘅細囝嘅學校.  真係好担心

我囝囝有個同學十一月中出世，我囝囝就十月尾，但大我囝囝一年的也有。所以小一時真係差好遠，思想、體力、高度也是。

I think all schools will not just consider the month of birth, they should consider a lot more aspects. In my son's class, there are slao small boys but also have very good academic performance. Therefor, it's NOT a must in DBSPD. Don't worry.
