The School Committee regrets the negative inferences made at a recent media program concerning the entry process for the Primary Division. Whilst it appears that the focal point of the program was not the School itself, the School Committee will not hesitate to take all available steps to protect the School’s integrity and reputation should this be necessary.
The Rt. Rev. Louis Tsui,
Chairman,
Diocesan Boys’ School Committee.

Unfortunately our C Grade lost to HKIS by 1:2. The HKIS boys were much bigger and very strong in their ball control. In spite of several very good tries, luck was not on our side this time.
The Inter-School Athletics Competition Finals was held on 12th March 2010. Once again we have captured the overall champion for the seventh consecutive year, as well as capturing the A Grade and C Grade Champion. Congratulations to all our athletes who have worked so hard to achieve this result.
DGS was also champion in the girls division.

Summary by Norman Lo (78)
This is a summary of this year’s Interschool Athletics Championship. After 2 days of intensive competition (day1 and 2), we were 8 points behind our archrival LSC in the overall. As I had mentioned in my previous e-mail, both school had the chance to win the coveted Overall trophy.
Day 3 was warm and humid, and it was much better than the weather at day 2 which was freezingly cold. We performed superbly in the morning gaining as manly points as we can in A 400 hurdles, triple jump, B high jump, 200, 800 and hurdles, not to let LSC widen the lead. After the morning events, we found out that we were only 2 points behind in the quest for the overall champ! At the afternoon events (100, 400 and 1500), our athletes also performed brilliantly and began to take the lead in the overall before the relays.
Then an expected accident happened to the LSC B 4 x100 relay, they dropped the baton during the exchange between their 1st and 2nd leg; although they could still completed the changover within the takeover zone, they could only finished the race a distant 8th. Last year, LSC had their C 4 x 100 relay team dq for stepping into the neighbouring lane during 3rd and 4th leg change over. It is curious as in the past DBS 4 x 100, relay teams were notorious for dropping relay batons and exchanging outside the takeover zone, and LSC relay teams never committed such mistakes.
With our relay teams doing their utmost best, they came first in the C and B 4 x100, C and B 4 x 400 and second in the A 4 x 100 and 4 x 400, we made a huge come back and won the overall champ by a handsome 44 pts for the seventh consecutive year. Results as follows:
A B C Overall
1st DBS 171 LSC 171 DBS 147 DBS 475
2nd LSC 124 DBS 157 LSC 136 LSC 431

We are holding a social gathering for boarders’ parents in the Glass Pavilion. The evening will take the form of a “Wine-tasting” and there will be an opportunity to purchase wine from an importer of Australian and New Zealand wines. A wine producer from Australia will also be present. There will be a “Lucky Draw” with valuable prizes. Tickets will cost $50.00 per person and can be bought from the Boarding School Office. As space is limited, only 100 places are available. We would also hope some old boys can join us. We hope the evening will be of interest to you and will also raise some funds for the Boarding School.
Yours faithfully,
