男拔歷史中，出現過一位校長，他認為體育為健體，不是為比賽。佢在任期間，禁止學生參加校際賽。

都唔係嘅,就算住喺九龍城舊區(唔係house),DGJS都一樣會收。

I don't know if this is applied to DBS but an APARTMENT in Kowloon City is definitely not enough for admission to DGJS, a house in Kowloon Tong would be much appropriated.  Afterall, I think there wil ...

One sure-win is to donate money more than others.

What's the minimum charge?

I know LKS Foundation donated HK$55M to SPCC for the new building with media coverage.

張灼祥由2000年開始至現在，擔任拔萃男書院校長，在此期間從未禁止學生參加校際賽。

現時新建直資，面試時要求學生要有相同的理念。咁多年歷史嘅名校，話佢收生只重背境地位，講唔講得通呢？
...

兩拔小家長不少是達官貴人, 商賈巨擘, 億萬富豪,
太平紳士, 乜師乜長, 博士學者等等, 比例相當高; 有些中產子弟在校也會感到自卑; 至於住居屋的, 極少數; 住公屋的, 未聽過.


我不是說兩拔收生[只]看重背境地位
, 而是家庭背境畢竟是最重要收生因素 ((學校當然唔會寫出來)). 而且我談的是現時小拔收生, 非插班生和中學(DGS/DBS)收生. 兩間中學收生會較看重學生對學校的貢獻 (注意, 是貢獻, 不是單指實力)


而我所指的[家庭背境], 也不是單指富貴人家, 而是有資源有背境家庭. 例如我認識一對小拔家長, 阿媽是家庭主婦(以前是當名校教師), 阿爸是科學家,正是中產也, 不過佢地經常話自己係草根!

李超人的幾個孫女都在漢基國際學校(Chinese International School)就讀, 好像李氏這樣的名門望族, 無需要捐獻, 香港任何一間學校都會收, 甚至Harvard, Stanford也會給面子.

他捐給spcc, 應該是因為其兩個兒子都這此校畢業.

When my daughter was granted a seat from her current Kindergarten, I saw a lot of posts complained that the selection criterias were biased and chances were only granted to those with "old boys / old girls" parents or parents who are from professional sectors or entrepreneurs or ....yes, some of my daughter's classmates' families are wealthy and / or their parents are public figures (not limited to celebrities, some of them are famous doctors).  But, pls respect the headmistress's selection criterias, she still took students from other sectors.  My husband and I are not with backgrounds like above mentioned.  But, I won't deny that we're very dedicated in nurturing our daughter, we bring our daughter a lot of experiences, explain different issues / happenings to her,..pls don't think it's a matter of money, it's not. It's a matter of our passion and that influences our daughter also. For example, when my daughter came across with "Mother's Day", I surfed the internet with my daughter for the story and history of Mother's Day, my daughter was so excited and eager to know more.  It's engagement!  If you can engage a little one to dig out knowledge, I'm sure the knowledge will be truly belonged to this little one.
Yes, this time, the competition for Primary Schools' applications is even more keen and again, we're lucky to have an offer from one of the schools mentioned in this thread.  Be honest, I still think it's 50% of our efforts and 50% of luck. At the end, they're just 5 years old, who knows what happened in the interview room and how the interviewers evaluated our kids.  

LOVE our kids and be passionate parents.  Give them supports and think at their angles.  They need understanding and supportive parents no matter what results were from this "interview campaign".
God luck to all and May Lord watch over us and keep us all the time.

youma,

話"兩拔收生只看重背境"只是我得到的印象。不過，點都好，中產背境的孩子，在面試表現真的較優越。

不如退一步來說吧，除特殊例子外。你認為女拔是先看背境，再看表現好壞。還是只看表現好壞，而表現好的恰恰是較好境的。

我不信是前者。

本書唔知去咗邊，記憶所及，應是戰後第二、三任。

1. 强化英語是否基本條件?
The two interviews were conducted in Cantonese. This should rule out that spoken English was one of the key criteria in the decision process. In my opinion, the manners how the kids behaved were more important than any already acquired language skills, especially for a child of 5+. Think about it that there are still 6-12 years of learning down the line.

2. 你們是否都讓子女參加很多學習班/興趣班,以及參加各種比賽獲獎?
The most suitable place for kids (5+) is the playground. I believe anyone can afford taking their kids to a playground, say Victoria Park on Sunday.

3. 是否雖具一技之長如突出的體育,音樂或藝術成就 (雖然只是K3).
Not many kids like Mozart who started playing piano at 3 and knew composing music at 5 and could master 3 intruments at the age of 8. DG/DB interviewing process is not a music contest. There are no ways to verify how good the kids can be at music or art within such a short period of time.  Let alone 'achievement' at music for a kid at 5+ !

4. 是否一定就讀有名氣的幼稚園?
Lot of things that a well behaved child needs to possess can be taught at home at an early age. I think parents' model examples come first! Both famous and not so famous kids go to DG or DB.

5. 個人品格方面有什麽要求? 子女要很有自信及醒目型嗎? 還是學校想收不同種類的人材?
This is a kind of personal preferences between the interviewer (Mrs Dai) and the kid. A very subjective aspect, very hard to be quantified! I think this is where luck exists!

6. 幼稚園校內成績又是否很重要?
The potentials rather than the existing results for a kid of 5+ are the most important. You have to show what is the potential for the kid that appears more superior than others in order to win a place! Again, something that parents need to really think hard about your kids.

Also, the schools (DG/DB) don't conduct a reference/cross check on all the information you submitted before they send out the offers. In particular, they really don't care about where you live (rented or owned or fake address) and how much money you make so long as , I think, you can find a mean to settle the school fees.

When one comes to select some 140 out of 3000+, there must be some criteria to follow. Here is what I think based on our daughter's experience who was lucky to get an offer.

1. luck (55%)
2. good manners (20%)
3. parents' intentions and attitudes (via some examples) (20%)
4. money/address/financials/occupations (5%)

TRYTOBEHOMAMA

Yes, luck I think is most crucial! 我亦曾因小兒被拒申請而失落一陣子,但長路漫漫,何必執著於已過去而不在自已控制/爭取範圍的既定事實?

我也十分同意你說的, 要走出難過的心情真的十分不容易, 最少係我自己到現在也做不到...
