Hi, DKmum and SaSaMummy,

My kid is now studying in G. 7 (i.e. F. 1) in DBS.

The first interview took place on 14th February last year while the 2nd interview was held on 28th Feb.  He was asked to d ...

Thanks goodmum97.   Since some DSS school will release result earlier, just if I accept offer from that  DSS school, can I change my mind if we have offer from DBS later?

DKmum,

Surely you can.

My son got the offer from St. Paul Co-edu in mid March last year.  When DBS gave us the offer in end March, we just went back to SPCC and got back the 'Primary 6 Student Record Form'.  Of course, you could provide them with a letter stating the reason for withdrawal politely.

Hi goodmum97,

Would you mind share your views why eventually you and your boy chose DBS instead of SPCC then? My boy has also applied both schools and he has some music training and join outside Wind Band. He already took 1st interview yesterday in DBS and is now waiting for interview letter from SPCC.

Thank you for your sharing!

中文先讀一篇文章, 數個字不懂讀音, 就文章內容提問, 此環節可以.  背詩以最淺白的  李白靜夜詩回應. 老師評語為"幾好"  亦即相對 "幾不好"
學校只有40餘個學位, 要取錄的都是最好, "幾好" 即等於不合格

小朋友覺得英文較淺, 讀文章可以, 問內容可以.  最後問平日喜好, 空閒時間活動, 電腦遊戲的好處及壞處. 都順利回答.  老師評語 "好" 此部份可能勉強合格.

綜合上述兩部份, 相信小朋友的成功機會很微

請問各位面試題目是否相近, 從老師評語中是否看出機會率?

My boy's question:
English: read passage, not difficult, then ask whether he likes his primary school or not, what type of activities he joined in school

Chinese: read passage, with many difficult words, then the teacher asked him to pick a card from the table, the cards contain some chinese words which are very difficult, he needed to read, explain the meaning & how to find the words from the dictionary.  Then ask him to name different type of 修辭手法, ask him to give examples as well.  

My boy's chinese is quite good but he said the chinese part is very difficult.  He hasn't repeated the teacher's comments to me, so I don't know his chance.  Anyway, he tries his best, so no regret, just wait & see!

Hi goodmum97,

Thank you very much for your sharing! Your boy must be very smart as both elite schools offered him a F1 place last year. I don't know whether my boy will have chance for music audition in end Feb in DBS. Hope that the date will not clash with SPCC interview (27 Feb).

BTW, as to your boy's audition in DBS last year, was the examiner Mr Ronnie Cheng, Dean of Culture? Just curious to know.

Hi Peelychu,

Are you receiving the sports trial notice then?

Dear DKmum

Please check your PM. Thanks.

Hi, SaSaMummy,

There are 6 classes, namely D, S, P, J, M and T.

Top 50% of students will be allocated to classes D, S and P.
Out of these students, the best 18 students in each of the core subject (i.e. English, Chinese and Maths) will form a stream, namely Stream X.


Students are allocated as follows:
The top 43 boys in English will be allocated to Class D;
The top 43 boys in Chinese of the remaining students will be allocated to Class S and the remaining students within this group including those taking French will be allocated to class P.

The group of students attaining below 50% or students who fail in one core subject will be streamed randomly to J, M or T classes.
Students in these classes are permitted to attend at most two of the remedial classes for English, Chinese and Maths.


Students have lots of projects and presentation work.
In the second term, they are also required to write script of at least 10 pages long for drama class.
I find that my kid’s English, computer and presentation skill as well as self-confidence have improved a lot.




All in all, I am very satisfied with the kid studying in DBS.
