DBS 面試

DKmum

Can any parents whose kids attending last year interview can share their experience?

Youma,  my son will have interview on Feb 6, how about your son?

Any ideas about the no. of kids to be invited for 1st interview?  The school has mentioned this during the admission talk but I forgot the no.

That's history 3 years ago, 90-100 vacancies previously for 1000 applicants. Now only 40 vacancies, so they shortlist for interview like St Paul Co-edu.

My son had the interview and the questions w ...

Thanks ANChan59 for your sharing.  Any other parents can share their previous years experience as well?

Sound like we need to play more attention to the general knowledge & aware of the latest news!

1200 人 apply, 只 in 300位左右.  本來只收28人, 但會加多十幾個位, 即大約30幾個.

My son's application no. is 16xx while we applied 1 day before the deadline, so application may be over 1700!

La Sa 暗示會收，咁星期六去不去DBS試呢？

I shall try if I were you.  This is also a training & tesing for our boys.  You can make decision if DBS accepts your boy later.  Unless you put LSC at a much higher rank than DBS, doesn't like Direct Subsidy School & busy on the weekend, it worths trying.  It's my view only.

By the way, when did your son attend the first interview & 2nd interview at La Sa respectively? My son attended interview on Jan 29 while my son's classmate only finished the interview on Feb 1, we are waiting for their calls these days.  Thanks for your sharing in advance.

jsmum,

Hi Vet,

Congratulations to your son for the 2nd interview.  Do you mind telling me when is your son having the 1st interview & when will be the date for 2nd interview?  My son has completed the 1st interview on Jan 29 & anxious for the result, thanks.

Yes, there was 2nd in for my son last year.

Hi goodmum97,

Any idea about the estimated no. of applicants for 2nd interview?   This year the 1st int applicants are around 300.

In addition, can you also share the 2nd interview format & question？

Is your boy currently studying in DBS?  If yes, can you share with us your son's school life, is it difficult to pick up the school work & interact with those directly promoted from the primary school student?  Sorry for so many questions, but  really anxious to know, thanks for your sharing in advance.

My boy will have the 1st int tmr, just try our best!

We just came back from DBS interview. I asked if there will be 2nd interview. The lady staff said they will only arrange sort of 2nd interview to those good at sports or music.

We also finished the interview this morning.  My boy said the English part was not very difficult but the Chinese part contains some difficult words that he didn't know how to read (he then just made a wild guess).

When will the 2nd interview be announced & schedule?  Mid March?  When will the result finalize?  Anyboby knows?

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?

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 ...

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!

Does anyone know the sports trial at DBS ?

Hi Peelychu,

Are you receiving the sports trial notice then?

DKmum

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.
