我就唔係唔高興人地唔睇我o個幾張證書，只係佢地o既要求唔清晰，唔打電話去問就唔會知佢地仲有乜野要注意。

算啦，我已經順利交左表，又發完牢騷，要再上路喇。

交表時原來一份正本都無對，連出世紙，身份證都無。

唔好勞氣, 當你越見得多學校O既INTERVIEW 安排, 你亦會發覺大部份都好多不足之處.
要參加這個遊戲, 唔滿意都唯有死忍下去, 就算幾亂幾唔公平都好.
我囝上年都有玩呢個遊戲, 你O黎緊面對INTERVIEW 你可能會仲多O野煩. 規則人家定, 對的錯的家長沒法子投訴或SAY NO.
可以分享一下我上年不愉快的經歷, 我囝IN 完o個日, 我都有問佢情況, 佢屬於expressive 的人, interview 表現我不擔心, 也沒有教他, 只想也用自己方法表達自己, 得與唔得都聽天由命. 但這天佢話個老師同佢講普通話o既, 所以每條問題都要重覆問兩次, 佢要不停說不明白老師說什麼(先問普通話, 再問廣東話咁). 我覺得奇怪, 因為我明明填面試語言是廣東話, 我個囝完全唔識講普通話, 我唔會傻到填普通話增加佢second in 機會. 開頭以為可能學校考下小朋友反應, 但上bk 問過, 一係廣東話, 一係英文, 一係普通話, 不會有這樣情況. 後來有另一位家長complain 話佢個囝被誤編入普通話組, 大呼不公平, 我才知道原來同我個囝一樣遭遇. 同朋友講, 佢地問下做乜唔同學校講, 講o黎有乜用, 唔編錯都編錯咗, 你估學校會唔會respond 你.
結果唔駛講, 我個囝無機會second in, 同佢同校但平時表現一般小朋友都有second in, 的確有o的唔開心, 但你可以complain o的乜? 我唯一想囝入呢間, 之前還特別多報兩間競爭大的學校作rehersal (st paxl co 同 st. paxx), 結果呢兩個都有second in, 但dbs 偏偏無........
所以, 報學校呢o的o野真係要睇開o的, 世事很難料

所謂見微知著，由呢d小事可以想像佢地o既運作有幾好。

我個仔本來就唔係反應好快，報dbs只係博多一個機會，而家我地都好平常心面對面試同入學結果，所謂塞翁失馬，你個仔當年dbs無2nd int未嘗係好事呢。

would you mind tell us how long does it take to submit the application ?

thomasha

About 30 minutes for queuing up (waiting area+hall) (~40 people in front of me) and 5 minutes for checking the application form and supporting documents.

我好記得校長話係可以縮影, 但最好唔好縮到好細, 因為係佢看, 同埋佢話多少少頁係唔更要, 無話扣分喎!

請問你現場所見,如多過5張紙係唔係一定唔收多出的那些?另外小朋友的身分證要不不交副本?

Thanks.

thomasha

1. 我無留意到其他人有無因為超過篇幅限制要取回多左o既部份，不過當時我比較緊張自己o既部份，可能無睇到。

2. 小朋友如果有出世紙，就唔駛交身分證。

我聽第一場簡介會，講到明多左會扣分，我仲錄左音再聽過，無花無假。當然，佢講笑定講真，我就唔知勒。

都知道小朋友考學校大人一定好緊張, 但千萬唔好為咁小事影響心情, 我當年就試過去 St. Paul xx 依足規定交表 (唔記得係幾多張, 但一定係 10 張紙以內), 但就俾人要求攞走一D 佢話無用嘅, 校長唔會睇嘅嘢, 只係一張紙, 又無超標, 我都覺得好無聊, 晒大家時間, 因為仲有好多人等緊交表, 咁我仲激氣喇 !  輕鬆 D 喇!

woodyBB

因錯過了取表日期, 請問可以PM我一份申請表格嗎?

萬分感激!謝謝幫忙!

thomasha

今年都有同樣情況，你講o個間學校都叫我攞走一張佢地話唔會睇o既野，不過我又覺得無傷大雅，反正都係一d額外資料，無左都唔緊要，亦可以話情有可原，而且只係由其他portfolio copy and paste，無涉及好多功夫。

好似我早前話齋，牢騷發過，就要收拾心情，重新上路。

From my experience, Portofolio is not so important, why spend so much time to complain here?

Vital few..... which parts have higher percentage..... focus on high % items and don't lose focus.

If you have hard feeling about the school and like to complain, find a better one in good admission administration, unlimited pages portofolio, no famous people apply..... you have the choice.

If not you need to complain 12 more years, what's for....

thomasha

If you had paid attention to what I wrote earlier, you would have realised that, apart from voicing out my complaints, I also looked for solutions to comply with their requirements.

I have already mentioned twice that the grievances are behind me and I will move on to what I should focus on.  

I haven't lost any time in the necessary "focus".   I only complained when my son was asleep. hahaha

Don't take it personal, I am not pointing at you, I address the sentiment in this post in general (All parents).

Be positive and well prepare for the first interview. (To you)

十頁其實真的沒什麼問題........
你覺得好特別的東西, 人地有乜未見過
正常就是比最特別的東西去show 小朋友
你有料多左幾頁我覺得佢唔會唔收
無料你有一百頁都是浪費 (人地重要去study 你個小朋友這一百頁的重點......)
不過我真的見到有人比大file.....
有人九cert 一頁, 遠睇勁有型, 不過是不是實際就......

thomasha

我主要係話佢地要求唔清晰，唔問就唔知，唔係話佢限頁數o既問題。我唔係好多證書，推薦信，所以我唔係介意佢唔夠位俾我擺cert.

當然，佢地要我地俾齊兩年成績表亦係難度，我地幼稚園每學期3頁，一年兩個學期，即係總共12頁。我地最後都諗到辦法解決左。

Suggestions

1. A whole hearted self-introduction letter to highlight the strength of your boy with examples  (1 page)
2. An Excel summary of the achievement of the boy in the past 2-3 years - highlight some exceptional achievement and with attachment(1-2 page)
3. Personal details copy, like ID, birth cert (1 page)
4. Attachments (6-7 pages)

How to pick the attachments reflect the judgement of parents and the understanding of the selection criteria of DBSPD.

DBS is a very very liberal school, no need to follow any format from "educational consultant". Just follow your heart.

thomasha

Your suggested structure would be perfect if the school did not require the school reports (last 2 years) to be included in 10 pages.

The employee of the school who responded to my phone enquiries showed little flexibility when asked about details to be submitted.  If DBS is a liberal school, I must have got the opposite impression from that employee.
