Just called the school: they will send out letters tomorrow.
mood .... nervous, worried and waiting waiting waiting.........

作者: tiksilong 時間: 09-11-11 11:09

I am nervous too. But without high hope as the interviewing process was so short which I really don't know their criteria in picking students. Good luck :)

My girl is applying for the school as well. Heard that there are relatively much fewer places reserved for girls and so I really wonder if my girl has the luck to secure a place.

作者: monkeydog 時間: 09-11-11 11:53

Chance is 1 out of 8, right?

Just only ONE chance - accept/reject. But I wonder how they choose the kids by using about 10 minutes for interview and didn't check any originals/profolio on that day.

作者: tiksilong 時間: 09-11-11 13:43

based on my son's comment they were asking to read a few English sentences, Putonghua words. then I think it is also important for the teacher to know if your kids are under good care from parents.

surprisingly, I heard from a current teacher that, although Raimondi mentioned in the application form that they prefer "big kids", the teacher does not receive any guideline or instruction to accept students with the preference to "big kids".

but I agree with the point that since the entire process is 10 minutes I guess first impression of the kids to teacher counts.

You will never know until you received the acceptance or rejection letter. This kind of interruption is not bad indeed.

You will never know. Maybe the teacher thinks your son is not an ordinary kid and with good observation.

I just can't imagine what they can see in just that 10 min. So perhaps they mainly look at which kindergarten the kid come from and the interview is only to find out if the kid and the parents are "normal"!

作者: JT803 時間: 09-11-11 15:35

As I remember ( 4 years ago ),it was too fast for the whole interview...just used 10-15 minutes only..My son only came from common kingder....And I am a working mom...we have not rich background.But finally my son accepted by Ramondi.So I guess maybe my son has well performed during the interview.and he also has a cousin studied in Ramondi.So finally can accepted by school.~

haha, "normal" is very important indeed.

I think many seats of Raimondi will be released after the central allocation.

作者: tiksilong 時間: 09-11-11 17:18

But heard upon accepting the seat from Raimondi you need to sign the letter of undertaking to give up the government allocation.

Yes, you need to sign an undertaking to give up the central allocation. There used to be a lot of places available after the central allocation. So the chances to get in are high .

作者: monkeydog 時間: 09-11-11 20:24

If 'normal" can increase the chance to get a seat, I would prefer my son to be more "normal".

Oh really? But I've called the Raimondi officer before sending the application form asking about the central allocation and they said they won't "allow" us to enter the lucky draw section.

Below is the clause stated in the acceptance letter this year.

"the place for your child in our Primary One 2010/2011 will not be reserved if you continue to participate in the Central Allocation of Primary One administered by the Education Bureau or if you register with other government or subsidized schools (Education Bureau will send the name list of children who have been accepted by our school and still opted to remain in the Primary One Admission System.)"

My understanding of this clause is you can still participate in the Central Allocation. The consequence is to give up the place at Raimondi.

Big A got accepted!!

作者: tungmom 時間: 09-11-13 22:27

My daughter is on the waiting list. The letter said, "Pls be informed that her name has been put in the waiting list. If any vacancy arises, you will be informed for registration in due course."

Does anyone know when will usually the school notify the applicants on the waiting list? After Nov 23?

As I think my son has good self-discipline in doing homework, I have applied a few private / subsided school with traditional curriculum and good reputation for him.

Yet, we are really disappointed after receiving a few rejection letters. Anyway, we appraise my son's efforts as I believe he has tried his best in interview performance.........

Today, we receive the acceptance letter from Raimondi and the offer is definitely a treasurable present from GOD..........

Both are good schools. See you want girls school or co-education.

RC's academic level is a bit higher.

作者: diversity 時間: 09-11-15 20:23

If I have a daugther, I will no doubt choose St Clare than Raimondi

作者: YauYingMummy 時間: 09-11-15 21:22

why? Due to the change of new principal at st. clare and a new brother, I cannot make the decision!

作者: AugSun 時間: 09-11-15 22:54

Why you think RC's level is better than St. Clare.

I have got a little son too. My daughter is now studying in St. Clare. I also got acceptance in RC.

For me, I think RC starts to teach Mandarin in P1 and St. Clare is not. St. Clare English is strong. They have french too but not compulsory. RC's Maths

and General Studies are partially in English and Cantonese.  I am not sure what is in English in St Clare - that I will have to find out more.  RC just starts to have girls recently.

For me, RC's secondary school is closer than St. Clare's secondary school.  Location RC won.  I agree that in the future, the competition is higher due to high birth rate.

However, I think RC is not difficult to get a seat.  I saw a lot of boys prefer St. Pauls boy than RC.  I don't know why? If people are accepted by both schools, is it worth to go to RC because of a little brother?  Or people really thinsk RC is better than St. Clare.  Anybody got any supporting reasons or points?

Thanks
