哪類型男孩子較易被取錄?

For last year -

10 boys in a group would go up to a classroom, which has toys/ games/books to keep them entertained.  A teacher and a couple of prefects would be there to keep an eye on them Then each would be called to meet 2 teachers (together) on a one to one basis.

The teachers would ask very basic questions first like your name, which kindergarten..etc. and then a teacher would play a story CD (with music so it could be rather distracting) in the chosen language as indicated in your application form.  My son had to listen to the story and answered some qestions afterwards (I think about 3-4 questions).  

After that, he was given a piece of paper with lots of shapes on it and there was also a pile of alphabets with different colours.  The teacher then told him to select 2 blue letters, 2 purple letters and 1 green letter and put them in the semi-circle, the triangle and the rectangle. My son said you have to listen to all the instructions first before you could start picking up the letters.

Then the teacher asked him to make up a word using a letter "B" or sth like that.

There might be one other item, but I couldn't remember now. Sorry...  He then joined all those who had finished with their interviews in another room to watch DVD!! It think it was Buzzlightyear last year and don't be surprised if that's all he could remember afterwards!

Hope this helps!

請問有否家長可以提供DB面試的內容??

謝謝!!

Not from previous experience, unless you have opted for Putonghua as your language for the interviews.

Thanks very helpful, so your boy is now studying at DBS right? How does he like it?

Chatterbox

You are most welcome!  I've read in another thread suggesting the boy should go to the bathroom beforehand. I think that's a good idea too.  But do let your boy know if he really needs to go to the bathroom, the prefects are there to help so he shdn't worry abt it and he shd just go and tell those 'gor-gor'.  

Good luck to all!

Hi Chatterbox

Would you tell us which kinder of your lovely boy?

Chatterbox

I really don't know for sure, and this is purely my guess, so don't 'stabbed' at me, ok?

I think if the boy's english is very good (eg. as good as a native speaker), then I think choosing english language may have a slightly better chance as DBSPD is an english school afterall.  However, if the boy's english is fair (like what one would expect of a K3 student or maybe just slightly better only), then I don't think it should make much differences, and in this case, it may be better to choose a language which the boy is most comfortable with so he is more likely to speak up. Afterall, the school goes for 'outspoken' and confident boys so as long as your boy is willing to speak up and is confident, he should be fine even if he gives the 'wrong' answer ('wrong' from adult's perspective).  

I think this is especially true for 2nd round, where quite often there is no 'model' or 'correct' answers to their questions.  They just want to test whether the boy can think on his feet and I think they would prefer to see the 'real' side of the child, what he is really like, as opposed to what he is supposed to be like.   

Hope this helps!

Thank you. Do you think / have any idea about the importance of choosing interview language. i.e. interview in Eng. Lang. have much higher chance be accepted by DBS?
