As per caption.
Does anyone have any idea?  And how does it work?
Guaranteed entry (i doubt so) or additional points which contributes to the overall scoring of the child together with his/her performance during interview?

Yes, Singaporeans do have priority over other non-Singaporean applicants, also, if you or your child is/are Singapore Citizens (SC) , Singapore Permanent Residents (PR) and/or Approved-In-Principle (AIP) Permanent Residents will have a fee subsidy of HK$16,100 per annum, which is subject to change.

You can say the school will give priority to its citzens same as other schools like canadian in cdnis, french in Fis, german in gsis, americans in hkis, australians in AIS. There are other priorities such as staff, siblings etc. I don't think there is such thing as direct entry. Each candidate will need to be assessed during the interview.

Even though you/your child hold a Singapore passport, your child still have to be assessed, but s/he will be assessed before those non-Singaporean applicants, that means s/he has a higher chance to be admitted.
