我大仔之後無上kornhill k1, 因為我同佢daddy好早已經諗咗佢將來上local stream小學, 不過我而家都有同哥哥當時個班主任有聯絡(雖然佢因為搬屋所以轉咗去新界教)。so far我同老公都好impress哥哥喺kornhill pn時嘅所 ...

Hi Jellycheng, I agree with what you said: 因為佢係第一個, 乜都impressive d啦

Hi yame,
I don't think so because I live in chaiwan.

So Angelanala, will you go pay the registration fee?

yame

I paid today. Seems that 33 HK students received the offer in this round.

Hi yame,
I paid on Saturday, too. Have you filled out the pm-am transfer request form?

I have filled out the form.  AM is more preferred, but PM is still okay for me.  Did you see other parents when you paid the fee?  I saw two other pairs of parents.

yame

I went there to pay the fee alone.  Maybe I was the "mother" that you saw?!  Or maybe not.  :)

turtlelau, sori for my late reply!

n sori i cannot make this weekend, packed with birthday + x'mas party to go! why dun u n yame meet up first, i'll join the next round!

seems like most ppl will pay ...

Not sure how or when they will move the pm ones to am.  I wonder if they will offer the remaining AM seats to the next round first, so as to attract the people.  If that is the case, I will feel bad.  But anyway.

Today, I received another letter from 合一堂陳伯宏 and my son is only on their waiting list.  So far, we have only been to two interviews.  So, 1 pass, 1 fail!  :)

Yame, i trust they will move pm kids to am 1st so not to worry! n i give up dreaming of getting an am offer! we went for 3 interviews, 2 passed n i failed!

my last hope now is victoria, hope to impro ...

Hi LittleVal, which 2 PN has your kid passed?  
We will have an interview with Creativity on Dec 21.  But don't think I will pay the fee on the spot.  Hopefully there will be one or two more interviews next year with 北角衞理 and 明慧, but these are a bit far for me.  So, even they may accept my son, he may be too small to go to those schools in school bus.  So, Kornhill looks like the final answer for me!

Yame,

my girl got offers from Creativity and Man Sang.

If I were you, I will definitely pick Kornhill! But it's not bad to bring your boy to have more interviews just to meet more ppl n have fun!

Hi LittleVal,

As I remember, the teacher asked like 4-5 questions, e.g. who looks after the child at home, what is the language used at home, what language can my child speak, why we knew about the school etc.  She then asked if we have any questions.  So, we asked 2-3 questions as well.  There was no testing like walking up a slope, as we were interviewed in a classroom that mainly had chairs, tables and some toys only.

BTW, the teacher also asked if we bring our kid to playgroup, and which playgroup is it.

Hi LittleVal,

I try to speak to him in English at home.  But in fact, as I am native Hong Kong people, so I have to admit that it is difficult to talk to him in 100% English.

But at least we try to train him to be bi-lingual.  My maid also speaks both English and Cantonese.  But for sure that both her English and Cantonese are not good.

before the interview, i read some old discussion threads that the mama said Kornhill Int'l concerned about the language used at home.  so, i did tell them that i speak to my son in English at home, but we also use Cantonese.
