DBS has its own streaming assessment for class allocation purpose.  It is held before the date set for the HKAT for PS1.

The assessment consists of 3 core subjects.  They are much more difficult than HKAT for PS1.

Hi goodmum97,

My son luckily gets the chance for DBS audition on 6 March (Also he’ll take the SPCC interview on 27 Feb). According to your son’s last year experience in DBS audition, if you don’t mind, I would like to ask the following questions:

(1)
Was the audition conducted in English or Cantonese? How long the audition took?
(2)
For the duration of the two pieces of music, what is the appropriate time?
(3)
As to questions relating to music, did Mr Cheng ask about music theory? What kind of questions did he ask?
(4)
Does your son need to join the orchestra compulsorily due to his music talent now or can he choose to join it or not of his own free will? If he does join orchestra, should he often need to skip lessons to prepare for music festival or other competitions? Does this affect his study or not?

Sorry for so many questions! Thank you in advance for your valuable sharing!!

The audition was conducted in Cantonese.

No specific timing for the 2 pieces.

The questions were not related to musical theory.  They were just some personal questions and some questions on his musical instrument.

Students are free to join the orchestra if they like.  There is no compulsory issue.  My kid hasn't joined the orchestra.

Hi goodmum97,

Thank you very much for your prompt reply! It's very useful! Hope my boy will try his best in the coming interviews and no matter he'll get the offer, either one or not, I'm already very satisfied with his present performance.

Wish your boy has a very happy and fruitful school life this year!

Hi parents,

If we do not receive any news about sports test / music trial, does it mean we fail already?  

Will the school send out reject letter?

Tks.

Goodmum97:
You said"In the second term, they are also required to write script of at least 10 pages long for drama class."
Did the teacher teach them how to write? In group or individual?

hi, peelychu,

I'm sorry that I have no idea about sports trial.


hi, mayc,

They have drama class every alternate week.  It is taught by a native English speaker.  They have learnt different drama terms, important criteria/techniques of writing short storeis, basic story template etc.  During class, they were given opportunities to develop their creativity and self-confidence by acting and performing.  Each lesson is interesting and fun-filling.

The script is done on individual basis, not group project.  

Hope this clarifies your queries.
