Re: 有冇小朋友讀緊拔萃男書院附屬小學
Chatterbox
Thanks for your quick reply.
1) What is RE?
2) What are the electives?
3) So mainly taught in English. Chinese is taught in Cantonese, then will it be taught in Putonghua in higher grade?
4) Is it expensive for the extra-curricular activities? Are they held after school?
5) As it is more traditional approach, do your kid feel boring as I heard DBSPD tends to accept active boys? Does he like the school and happy?
6) Are you satisfied with the school? Any good and bad comments?

Hi abc111,
My son's in G1, so I have been a DBSPD parent for just over 2 months, but will try to answer your questions as follows. Other more 'experienced' DBSPD moms please correct me if I am wrong:
1) Is it active or traditional approach for teaching?
It's probably more on the traditional side (ie. not project based), but I don't feel that they have been 'drilled'. The lessons seem to have been conducted in quite a fairly lively manner.
2) How many homework per day (can you describe it more detail)?
Around 2-3 items per day, sometimes a bit more on Fridays. If your child is disciplined, it should take no more than 40 mins to an hour.
3) For P.1, how many subjects and what are they? Chinese/Eng/Maths/GS/Music/Arts/Computer Studies/Library/Electives/PE/Putonghua/RE.
4) What subjects are taught in English or Putonghua or Cantonese? Eng/Maths in english, I believe so are Computer Studies/Music/Arts. 2 lessons of GS is also in english. Chinese/2 lessons of GS/RE are in cantonese. Putonghua - 2 lessons per week. Electives- depends on your chosen subject. If it's french, it will be in french/english.
5) Is there a good reading scheme? Please describe.
They have Library lesson plus they are encourage to go up to the library once or twice a week to read/borrow books. I see some senior boys on school bus every day, many of them have story books with them. I think yes, they do encourage reading.
6) Any extra-curriular activities? Need to pay? What are they?
Lots of ECAs to choose from as the school really believes in an all rounded development, but you have to pay.
For sports, you can choose - swimming/golf/basketball/football/althetics/tennis/table tennis/fencing...etc.
For music - all kinds of instruments
For arts - chinese writing/painting...etc.
7) Do the students speak quite good in English?
Yes, pretty good from what I can gather.
8) Are the teachers nice and care?
From those few whom I have come across to date, yes. They gave their office nos and email addresses to all the parents, and we can always contact them.
There is a DBS School Fete (fun fair) next Sunday (5th Nov) from 10 - 5pm. It's open to public, so do feel free to come and walk around the school ground and meet the students. It's also good to bring your son there to get familiarise with the school environment, especially if he gets selected for 2nd round. There is also a buffet counter, and you can purchase tickets on the day and have lunch there too.
Hope the above is of help.
