如何入德瑞？

Debentures 唔貴, but "they can only be purchased after a place has been offered to the child."  另外, existing corporate debentures 無話可以轉讓. 就算你偷雞肯比錢佢叫佢 nominate 你, 都係無作用, 因為大把人比 debenture holders 的 priority 高. 其實 priority 唔係最重要, 成績先係 determining factor.

As far as I know, point 2 helps but is not a must.  But they do expect native level or very close to native level English.

Point 3, I am not sure if the school takes compliance as a desirable trait.  It is difficult to assess children's compliance anyway from interviews for tests.

Yes, I should've specified 'compliant enough to execute the interview exercises' (but I wanted to keep my points short). If the child is not willing to do what the teacher saids during interview, then it does not matter how intelligent the student is.
During two of my son's k1 entrance interviews he was either not talking or running around doing his own thing (because he just threw up and was recovering from a fever). Of course he failed both although he has native level English and all. For k2 Reception entrance interviews I ensured that he knows and is willing to listen to the teachers' instructions (and that he is not sick). He passed 3 out of 3 interviews and received the offers very quickly.

同意成績係重要，因我識果個小學成績係攞奬

I guess 樓主 need to specify the age of entrance, because it makes a world of difference for reception KG age & secondary age students. For KG entrance of course the teachers cannot test the child much on academics, but as the child ages, it matters not which school she applies for, academic is going to become more and more important as a factor.

兩年前的情況是，junior grade，無priority的，吾知排幾耐先有得in，小朋友叻吾叻已經吾係關鍵。無得in，識飛都無用。
不過高d年班，情況可能好d，但K和小一就好難了。

好野就係多人爭，無計。不過，中文亦係一個考慮，初小無中文堂，點都係third langauge。要keep到functional level，家裏要投入很多。

But my gal was given the chance of assessment but we defer it. We applied when she was 1. Now she is 3.

想吓想吓，好似我叫人吾好試咁...其實只係想講，如果根據我們報K、報P1的正常進度，早一年去申請，係吾多有機有得in，但如果可以早好多報，如1歲，咁吾敢講。

But I would like to test her limit if you can achieve the same in GSIS.

What was the reason you sent your child to a elite tradition school in the first place?  After one year you want to set her/him on a completely different IS path because you want to test his/limit?

Changing school is always a lot of risk especially when the child is doing well.

You have other reasons, right?

Choosing a school is like choosing girlfriend or boyfriend. You don't constantly find the "best" girl/boy friend in the world or changing partner because you want to test the limit of your charisma, right?

Let her try Chinese International School also. CIS likes girls who are aggressive, can adapt fast, and have excellent language abilities.

More important than what school to apply to, all of us have to examine the reasons for change.

The child is only K1, there is no "capability" to be discussed. Why was a tradition school chosen in the first place. Why after one year the reasons to choose traditional schools become invalid?  Why GSIS or CIS is a "better" school?  In what sense?  Traditional path leads to DSE and local Uni. IS path leads to IB and foreign Uni. Not to mention the difference in philosophies between the two systems.

I find testing the child's limit being the only reason for this change a wrong reason.

Other than capabilities, will you consider Chinese is a concern? I defer as I think Chinese is a concern and GSIS may not satisfy my need.
