Hi, reginewong,

我囝囝今年讀四年級, 他讀得好開心, 這間學校功課量不多, 他每晚不用一小時就做完功課, 還有時間練習樂器.  此校英語科是讀高一級, 即是一年級學生, 要讀二年級英語.

所有小學生只要考試合格, 100%可升讀其中學.

我都幫啊仔報了07年小一,不過12人爭1個位,渺茫得很.....你認為學校有無偏好收那一類小朋友? 你囝囝又是有什麼特性是你認為學校取錄的最大可能原因呢?

I don't know, I ask my son but he don't know too, just said that classmate maybe didn't want to so hard. I think maybe not all kids like this school.[quote]

3) For P.1, how many subjects and what are they?

4) What subjects are taught in English or Putonghua or Cantonese?

5) Is there a good reading scheme? Please describe.

6) Any extra-curriular activities? Need to pay? What are they?

7) Do the students speak quite good in English?

Sorry for so many questions but I really want to know.

Hi yy98

How hard is it? Is it like traditional school?

What do you think about this school? What are good and what are bad?

Thanks!

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.
