School Vision
Diocesan Preparatory School
seeks to bring forth core members and leaders of a caring society
by preparing each student for life with an inquisitive mind and a
sound body, a desire for excellence and growth, a sense of
integrity and solidarity, a spirit of unselfish service and
purposefulness --
the ability to learn and the courage to meet
challenges and cope with difficulty in a loving Christian
environment where moral and religious values are stressed.
Disconnection with Diocesan Boys' School
Since the founding
of the new primary division of
DBS, the
Diocesan Boys' School
Primary Division, the new DPS students would not have the
easier way to be a DBS students. They are now no longer classified
as students from the primary division, but only as 'outsiders', who
need to have interviews and scramble for a seat in DBS, since it's
such a famous and well-reputated
secondary school in
Hong Kong. The connection will
officially ends at
2010, when
the P.1 students entered DPS in year 2004-05 (founding year of
DBSPD) become P.6 students.
