男拔面試2010

thomasha

在男拔見識了今年面試以來難度最高但壓力最少的面試，所以立即將結果拋諸腦後，迎接下午和接著幾天相信一定更輕鬆，阿仔會開心很多的面試。

thomasha

Lining up outside the school - until 15 minutes before the interview time, i.e. the earlier you arrive, the longer you have to wait
(Suggest that you bring an umbrella and a fan if the interview is any time later than 10:15 am as it can be quite hot standing outdoors for as long as 30-45 minutes)
Interview - about 1 hour (parents have to leave the campus during this hour)

Parents have to leave the kids in the covered playground where registration takes place.
All kids are released in an orderly manner (calling the application receipt number) after the interview at the stated time.

how long does it take for whole process...?

thomasha

My son was among the 1st group to be interviewed today.

A very long story for kids to remember and questions are asked about it.  No games or reading at all. Really too hard for my son.

DBS has never been among our top priorities and from the initiation of the application process, it has failed to leave a good impression to us, so we went there just to experience the interview with ease.

Have result immediately?  What happen?

thomasha

總好過30+度o係條街企o既，不過今日天公"造美"，間中有陽光，為免盛裝出場o既小朋友心情煩燥，一定要有d準備。

Wah~! 咪又熱又辛苦?

thomasha

You're most welcome.  I have gained a lot of vital info from BK mums and dads and I feel obliged to share useful information to other parents here.  I just hope my comments would not be too direct and offend others sometimes. :)

Understand.  I also prioritize DBS not in my 1st priority, due to impression in the application process.

My son is also now in the interview, which started at 11:30am. I would also let him to have so ...

thomasha

睇黎好多家長對男拔都有類似態度，好過St Paul Boys，有d家長好大期望，收拒絕信就要喊苦喊忽。:)

"無期望就唔會有失望". 隨緣la.

oh....原來係咁...get差意

朋友講上年佢小朋友面試時有得睇video，然後聽故事回答問題，今年有冇呢?

thomasha

都要睇o下小朋友o既性格，好似我個仔，對陌生o既模式會無所適從，我地會避免講得太具體，因為到時佢會掛住諗住講過o既內容，所以只係講o下形式同提醒佢留心同有禮貌。

我小朋友都係今早第一批, 佢in出o黎話好好玩, ok, 不用再追問了!!!! Interview本身就睇小朋友本身發揮, 我從來不向小朋友"提水", 個interview會問乜, 玩乜........免得小朋友有不必要的壓力, 發揮才會更好!!!! ...

thomasha

Good luck tomorrow!

thanks for your tips as my son will have the interview tomorrow 3pm..

thomasha

If you have to look for a justification, it may be part of the test (of patience) and and effort of shattering your preparation effort.

My complaints:
(1) I think the school is off today but they do not allow parents to wait in the vacant classrooms far away from the interview rooms - not sure how this helps to "preserve an optimal interview environment" stated in the interview notification.
(2) The kids cannot go to the washroom in advance and were rushed to finish the washroom routines in a toilet near the registration area (covered playground) despite the fact that they had to wait outside the campus for so long without washroom facilities.  I told one of the teachers there (before my son registered and obtained the name sticker) that I had wanted to go to the washroom earlier but for having to line up so long outside.
(3) Thank God it did not rain today; otherwise I'm quite sure all the kids and the parents would be soaked from head to toe staying outdoors for more than half an hour.

Still very bad arrangement.  The interview just lasts for 1 hour 15 minutes and you are requested to arrive 30 minutes earlier with your kid.  However, you and the kid have to line up and wait for 30  ...

Group first and then individual.

My son hates watching cartoons involving chasing and crashing, so he lost interest quickly after the cartoon was shown.

Hi Thomasha

Can you check with your son whether it is a group interview of a one to one interview?!

thanks.

Must be that your son looked cheerful and lovely.  We wanted to show a happy face too, though my son looked unhappy already.

In this morning, I saw many parents showed their nervous face with their unhappy son.  I am glad I showed my happy and pretty face with my cheerful and lovely son! Don't think too much in this stage a ...

thomasha

We were lucky that we had time to go home and play games with our son and his mood rebounded to a cheerful one by the time we arrived at the 2nd school we had an interview with in the afternoon.

Hello hello, it's one-to-one ( not sure how many teachers but only one kid for a time) interview as mentioned by my son.  Please treat it as a game for your son rather than battle. All of our sons hav ...

我想小朋友在面試期間應該專心應付面試，萬一給老師或校長發現偷看分數紙，可能會扣操行分呢!

原帖由 IANLEE 於 10-10-8 18:23 發表
你好LALA：我也有问过我的小朋友是和你的小朋友说的一样的，但我还是不明白，他说的老师有在三个格子里写分数，请问你的小朋友有没有说他是多少分呀！ ...

thomasha

難道他可以讀到反過來的數字？

明看也好，偷看也罷，總是不太好吧。那張分數字就算在小孩面前寫，怎樣說都不是寫給小孩看的。

还有请注意你的用词！“偷看”

thomasha

算了，無謂在字眼上爭論，老師或校長如果發現小朋友在看分數紙會否扣操行分，大家心裡有數，不用再作說明吧。反正我已面試完畢，跟我沒有關係，我只是善意地表達意見，接受與否，悉隨尊便。

那你觉得小朋友回答问题左转头右转头就认真了！

thomasha

雖然"悉隨尊便"難聽一點，不過亦是事實，有人喜歡字字珠璣，我只想有話直說，至於對方肚內可划船與否，我可不能管那麼多了，我只能選擇在更有價值的地方著墨。

謝謝你的話，我在bk學了很多，正如我在別的主題說，我自覺有責任把我知道的或想法和大家分享，偶而長氣或嘮叨了一點，希望大家見諒。

唉, Thomas, 真的是善意的, 佢亦幫咗好多家長解答問題,。另自己的孩子怎樣自己心中有數, 在 forum 向別人辯護也亳無好處, 是嗎? 大家算吧! 這段時間也夠大家辛苦了。 ...

thomasha

Yes, my son had a yellow sticker on his name label, but I tore the label off and threw it away to the nearest rubbish bin as I was going to put his sweater (where the label was) in my bag, and my son didn't stop me. :D

Agree x1
my children said "Everone had this sticker after finished interview."
next....

thomasha

塞翁失馬，我老婆有d後悔去左呢度，要一早去不特只(當然仲有之前講過o既 complaints)，仲搞到要花好多氣力先至可以幫阿仔"撥亂反正"，去參加下午另一間學校面試。唔知係咪前世同呢間學校撈亂骨頭定係十冤九仇。

你地就好啦, 我連去in嘅chance都無.


因為, 我要in 播道, 男拔又無信心, 唔去in播道又好似無埋個機會.  

不過祝你地成功.

thomasha

老兄，我之前根本不是說你的兒子怎樣怎樣，只是以事論事，說出小孩(不單是指你的兒子)有這些行為有可能影響面試結果，真難明白你為何硬要對號入座，以為我在針對你的兒子。

小孩學懂原諒別人固然是好事，明辨是非相信亦是重要的課題，這方面是要由父母灌輸的。如果我的兒子在面試過程中這樣做，無論他是有意還是無意，我一定會告誡他，著他下次不能再犯。話說回來，我不會評論你教兒子的方法。

每對父母都認為自己的子女是最好的，這點我非常理解。

小弟中文水平相信與老兄的相去甚遠，如有用詞不當令你產生誤會，小弟在此謹就錯用了詞語致歉。

我觉的人还是要包容一些，我也是善意的不希望你用对待我小朋友的态度来说你的孩子，他们也是人希望别人尊重！我孩子已经原谅你了，因为他说你不是故意的！男人就应该包容一点！ ...
