Dear Hogwarts,

Excited to hear from you. Hope this note find you and your family well.

Time flies and it's a year - the experience last year would never be forgotten and i was a valuable lesson for me. While i am still spending a lot of time for him but the focus has shifted quite a bit. Thanks for the encouragement last year and the compliment but i guess it is still too early to say who's smart and who's not.

Let's work hard for our lovely ones.

Dear braddenmama,

We picked Chinese and used Chinese for both the 1st and 2nd interview. I suggest you to call the school to double check if you're considering to switch "channel"  for the parent's part.

BabyYuiYui,

Thanks for your information.  Was the interview in Chinese or English?  Coz my son chose English as the interview language for his 1st interview.  Not sure if the school will keep record  ...

That's maybe true.  DBS is so serious on those result of public competition, especially on sports and music.  They are pound of being the continuous champion of HK schools.  So it is not surprise that students may be required to practice during lessons time.

However, for hiring private tutors, I think it is up to those parents.  The level of DBS must be high and therefore the learning speed must be quick.  If you found your kids that is lack of that speed, private tutorial maybe one of the solution.

Hello everybody!

I have got the letter for 2nd interview. Although I might not be accepted, I still want to know more about the school life in DBS. Can anybody share their  experience? I hearsay that the school request the students to quit school lessons for training and preparing the sport or music competition. Is it true for one or two potential students or for majority? And the students need to find the private tutor for their study instead of any support from the school. Is it a reality? Please share!

Have asked school office

(1) Parents and boy will be interviewed in the 2nd interview.
(2) Interview will be conducted in the language that you chose  ie if you chose English in the application form, then both 1st and 2nd interview will be in English

For the past few years, they did interview both the parents and the boy. For last year, it was a panel interview and parents were asked to leave the room after asking normally 2 questions. The boy was then interviewed for another 3-10 mins. Last year, my son was asked to "read" one of the 2 books given and extended creating something (with tools eg button, small toys) on a plain paper which was pre-drawn with 2 lines (at 90% to each other). Then asked some questions about the thing that he created.

But i gather they changed the format every year.

I am very grateful that he was admitted (despite i thought he committed one BIG "silly" act) and now here he is - a much more happier and outreach boy, although he is doing not as good as he used to be academically.

Goodluck to all.

電話中沒有說明一定要 IN 家長 , 只是要求兩位家長帶仔仔 2ND IN. 係唔係一定要 IN 家長就唔知

我記得他當時說第一次是面試成績就是只佔30分的
其餘都是到進到第二次(但是我覺得舊生跟宗教 有先計)
第一次是不看個人檔案的
因為 只佔10分
況且 幾乎人人都差不多6-7分或8分囉

面試這種東西 很主觀
我不認為沒有 ...

我個女 - 就是不適合這個面試遊戲
她就是面對陌生人說話總是細細聲, 幼稚園老師說這代表不夠自信, 不是現在小學的 cup of tea 喎, 當時聽到都心up架老師仲話照考啦當攞人生經驗, 佢咁細個咁快要有自信, 我記得我自己十幾歲先搵倒自信炸

Have you all received the letter?
