Kentville interview

Furbabies

Do you know on what basis Kentville set the interview day?  Is it older kids on 11/13 and younger ones on 11/14?

Our son will have interview with St. Catherine on 11/13.  I am very worried that there will be a clash.  I know both schools would not re-schedule the interviews!

Furbabies

Have asked my friend who knows someone working at Kentville.  Apparently there is no criteria for setting the interview dates!  :cry:

Anyone of you who has a clash on the interview dates with Kentville or St. Catherine or Creative?  

Furbabies

Was your boy born after August 31?  My son was born in October.  I hope his interview will be on Nov 14 too!

Creative is Nov 13 and I have re-scheduled it.  They say they will advise me later of the new date.

Furbabies

October 23!  How about yours?

O my God!  10 schools.  

We applied for 6 only.  Interview & accepted by one.  Got feedback from St. Catherine and Creative.  Both on Nov 13.  No news from the remaining 3 yet!  But I heard that they will interview around mid November.  I hope no more November 13!  

Furbabies

Just 6 days away.  Our son was born 3 weeks earlier coz doctor said I had high blood pressure so she took him out earlier!?

He can talk if he wants to.  Last time when he went to interview he did not say anything.

Good luck!  Maybe our sons would become classmates :p

Is your son going to nursery?  Ours is not.  

Furbabies

My friend's son is studying at Kentville and she will submit the birth certificate copy to them this week.  Then Kentville will advise the interview date.

Their interviews are on Nov 13 & 14 so your girl would not have a clash!

Good for you!

Furbabies

My friend turned in the application for me this Monday.  Teacher told her that they will revert to her within this week for the interview details.  I just hope that it will be on Nov 14.

My son can speak quite a few words if he is happy.  He didn't say a word in his last interview with Canaan.  Canaan has accepted him anyway.

Furbabies

No.  We enrolled him to nursery next January.  We have paid the fee already.  900 bucks miscellaneous fees for half year.  Our son can go straight to K1 next September.

Furbabies

Don't say that.  Boys normally speak later.  Even they can speak they might prefer keeping their mouths shut during interview.  I have heard that some kids never speak during interviews but are admitted by Kentville & St. Catherine.  By both schools.  Who knows then.

I don't think my son has high chances of getting into the 'famous' schools.  We just try our best and let it be.

Furbabies

I am not sure if Kentville has nursery.  Our boy will attend nursery at Canaan only.  :

Furbabies

Sandy,

Your boy looks very cute.  I am sure the teachers would love him.  Don't worry.

I used to count how many words our son can say.  I think it's over 150 by now.  But it's really meaningless coz he just shuts up during the interview.    :

Furbabies

150 words that I have counted for the last year.  So he might have forgotton some already!  He is not actually talking in sentence.  He just says the word when he sees something he knows like sheep, train, chair ....................

Does your maid talk to him?  Is he going to playgroup?

Furbabies

danielboy,

Sandy and my boy are both October boys.  But it doesn't matter coz both our boys would not talk during interview.  :

Are you going for interview with St. Catherine?  Do you have a clash with Kentville?

Furbabies

Our boy goes to the playgroup organized by our clubhouse for 3 months.  I just want him to meet other kids and learn something.  Not sure if he really learns anything though.  They have a new teacher now and she is not too good.  Kids have been dropping out so I will not let him go next month.  He will go to nursery in January.  So he will be staying home only for the next 2 months.

Trust in Him.  He will provide.  :

Furbabies

Yeah my friend teaching at another kindergarten said that as long as the kids have reaction they would be accepted.  :

Teachers just need to make sure the kids are not autistic.

Furbabies

Just talk to pretty girls!  

Furbabies

Just about what I have been worrying, Kentville's interview time clashes with St. Catherine's.  I have called Kentville and they said they would not change the interview time!  :cry:

Furbabies

St. Catherine: 11:15am
Kentville: 11:45am

Both on Nov 13!  :cry:

Furbabies

My friend passed the application to Kentville this Monday.  We were hoping that we would have a later interview date!
