I think a year of waiting period is fair enough.

But then the loophole is schools are recruiting at the primary school level, while many secondary schools do not have primary division. How do we want to plug this?

Actually it's unfair.
Schools will just recruit students for playing sports/music...
Cannot correct, I think

[gyung]

We have been recruiting academically at K, P1, F1, F6 year-round and at all grades whenever space available. Please refer to our press releases and also Terrance's frequent meetings with the Press.

Now our new IB is also recruiting at F4 level...

The above were not noticed due to the fact that candidates have lot of choices academically in HK; while there are only a handful of schools focused on music/sports.

And no one will complain a student switches school to get better education, because getting the best education is what schoolling is all about.

Music and sports are just side dishes...

After we fill in the big loophole(sec. school session) 學校比賽前收人打球, then we can try to fill in the primary school session loophole.

There is never a perfect solution. We can only find a better solution.

FOR a number of years there has been an obsession in some schools with winning the Leinster Schools Rugby Senior Cup at all costs. If that means poaching good players from other schools, reducing their fees, giving them a place in sixth year and on the senior team, so be it.

This is happening frequently in a few colleges.

Parents are often told the school is booked up for years; there is a waiting list and then they make room for good rugby players in sixth year and give them a place on the senior team.

This is causing resentment with pupils who are playing rugby for their school for perhaps 10 years and then their place is taken by a new player from another school who was poached to win matches, particularly the Senior Cup. Parents cannot complain to the board of management because some members of the staff are on the board and they support the idea.

If we complain to the Leinster Branch of the IRFU we discover that someone from the particular college or colleges who are doing the poaching is on the selection committee. It is a no-win situation. Something must be done about it or we may have to name-and-shame the particular school or schools and the poachers. There seems to be no regard for the morality, the ethics or the injustice of the whole practice.

What about the school motto? Does that not mean anything now?

This argument is raised every year, especially if we win the Atheltics title. I don't bother to debate or argue but would just like to add a few words here.

I just happened to read a note written by our athletics team member 黎振浩 on Facebook, mainly about his feelings towards our school. His sense of belonging is very obvious and I simply don't give a damn whether he started studying in DBS from F.1 or not. This applies to all other boys who joined us in F.2 or above.

From Steps 1995 - "The ones who wear the prestigious DBS school vests fighting and winning for DBS come from nowhere but one huge family - DBS".

Thats what happen in the real world

Calls by Physical Education New Zealand (Penz) for action to curb Christchurch schools poaching sports stars have been backed by Sports Minister Clayton Cosgrove.
"The most annoying thing is how they splash their money around and steal other schools' talent," Riccarton High School head boy Devon Guest said.

Guidelines accepted by leading schools reject offering scholarships to win sporting kudos.
Leading private schools have said they will not poach students for their sporting ability, saying it is unfair to recruit athletes for competition success.
Some schools, including Melbourne Grammar and Haileybury College, this month adopted guidelines ruling out scholarships based on "sporting prowess".
The schools have agreed that it is "neither fair nor appropriate" to offer scholarships to senior students to win premierships or gain dominance in particular sports.

Right.

But this is what happen in Hong Kong.

Do they have age restriction for the athletes? I don't know.
Do athletes in Hong Kong make huge amount of money by playing sports? No.
