Very sad in St. Cat interview

glam

My baby is a small boy. He didn't speak anything in the St. Cat interview. Is this no chance? cos he attend the English session, and the chance is the same as the Cantonese session?

How many percentage of candidates would be sucessful? as she has two school site.

My daughter didn't do well too in SC but I didn't blame her at all. I just think that the whole SC interview arrangement is not good as most of the time has been spent on queuing up and waiting.

When we finally got our turn for the group interview (after waiting for no less than 20 mins), my BB had already got bored and didn't have any interest on the "lego blocks". She was just holding up the big window lego and then opened and closed that window and kept staring at the teacher who seemed to be giving marks.

After the group interview, we went to the individual interview room and were asked to wait... for about 5-10 mins.. At that time, my daughter had already got bored to crazy and started to find ways to entertain herself.. like climbing on the tables, standing on the chair, going to see what's hanging on the walls and trying to take those things off, visiting each table/ interview group to see what they were playing, etc..

During the individual interview, she answered some and didn't answer some and didn't hang a smile on her face at all during the whole process. Near to the end of the interview, she even requested to leave... and said "go! go!" haha.. too bad..

My opinion is that there are many many factors affecting the kid's performance (the environment, teachers, interview time, their emotional condition) and the kid's ability only plays part of it. Failing in one or two interviews doesn't really mean anything at all. So parents, don't give up or be upset, do trust your kids and most importantly you are their biggest support.

唔好再想啦, 我呀囡都是大囡, 都in 得唔好啦, 什麼都唔答人, 大家都唔再想, 明天 in KV. 寄望明天吧!

Well said.  Many people from poor backgrounds build successful careers.   Privilege does have its dangers.

其實如果真係好想入的學校Interview表現不理想, 話冇期望或冇唔開心就假既,始終都係一個人, 唔多唔少都有些feeling, 只不過成日都係叫自己放鬆d和開心d.不要太介懷

hi,happbee and humptidumpti,

i totally agreed with your comments.
we were talking about the truth & own feelings after the interview about the teachers with long face not say sc is not a good school.

in the truth, no result now & not "no grape to eat, so it's sour", maybe many mamis here will have offers,right?

我有個同事話, 有冇搞錯呀, 2歲就要面試? 係咪過份左啲? 佢話外國啲學校唔會咁喎!  我話: 咩2歲呀, 我個仔舊年1歲已經要面試Nursery啦!

我個仔上星期5去SC面試, 表現都係很差!  初頭玩玩具時, 我個仔遇到佢好鐘意火 ...

PearPear....
冇計啦...香港既教育制度就係咁...幼稚園唔攪面試...佢地都唔知憑乜野去收生..."價高者得"咩??? 又話歧視...唉...總之辛苦左d家長同埋小朋友啦....呢個幾月以黎...成日都撲黎撲去....

我個仔 in St.Cat 果日...我同佢都 feel uncomfortable...因為太多人...好迫...又要等...入到campus..."九曲十三灣"咁...轉黎轉去...行到我都有d暈...佢地個campus..比我想像中還要殘舊...個天花有d係用好似"鋅鐡板" 搭上去咁.... 加上我覺得d老師既口面....唔太nice....

我個仔係 2nd part interview 之前....等得好唔耐煩..又扭眼瞓...仲要比同房一齊等-ing 既小朋友整喊左...攪到佢又大叫大喊....我settle 左佢之後... 佢interview 果part 又做得幾好喎...不過我都唔抱太大期望....因為老師一定睇到/聽到佢事前扭計同大喊....  所以..我都係當帶左個仔去玩咁既心態囉....參觀下人家既校舍咁囉....

我個仔上星期5去SC面試, 表現都係很差!  初頭玩玩具時, 我個仔遇到佢好鐘意火車, 佢好投入咁玩, 但個老師似乎無欣賞佢嘅投入, 反而猛係度同我個仔打招呼, 我個仔當然無理佢!  個老師仲繼續同佢講野, 我個仔都係當佢無到, 我覺得衰左! 到單對單時仲衰!  小朋友唔知做咩突然唔肯入班房! (不過當時我都覺得班房氣氛唔好, 2個老師無表情對住門口坐, 班房佈置亦欠佳!) 入到去, 小朋友又唔肯對住個老師坐, 唉, 我當時已覺得, 唔駛in 囉, 衰硬囉! 雖則後來老師用玩具引小朋友才肯對住佢坐, 但之後所問嘅問題, 都係答啲唔答啲!  總括黎講, 我上星期就當係請左日假, 同小朋友去玩!

請問大約幾時會知道結果？

i guess it's hard to just say SC is a good or bad school by judging our interview in just an hour.  but i do agree that every thing is 雙向 and kids are very simple and native - if they dont like the teacher/environment, they dont like !  I am sure if the teacher is patience enough and guide them through, the kids can feel it and they are likely answering their questions.

Although my girl didn't do well in SC interview, i really appraise my kid - think about you have an interview almost everyday, would you get tired also? They still remain cheerful and playful as always ! :)

In my point of views, we should appreciate our son/ daughter no matter how are his or her performance in the interviews.

They are so brave coz they need to face new places, strangers and finish diff ...

Agree.   After having gone thru kinder selection twice I still don't understand how teachers make selections.   3 yrs ago my girl behaved very well and answered all the questions correctly, but no place only waiting list.    My boy kept his head turned away from the teacher at his 1st interview (not SC) but still got offered a place (may be my wife performed very well??).

I hve a different opinion amongst u all

if u on the 1st hand dont think St Cat is a good school why bother to fight for the application form and attend the interview. But now "perhaps" yr kids did no ...

我係呢個POST入面睇唔到有家長"ON THE 1ST HAND DONT THINK ST CAT IS GOOD SCHOOL", 亦冇人COMMENT ST CAT IS NOT A GOOD SCHOOL. 只有大家在分享INTERVIEW完之後的感受同心情。部份老師INTERVIEW時黑面,冇笑容, 呢個係家長既第一身感受而講出嚟同大家分享, 只針對老師本身。IN我女的老師都冇黑面有笑容。我認為INTERVIEW係雙向的, 你IN我時, 我亦會觀察這所學校是否就是我所喜歡的。
當然, 我所喜歡的亦未必收我女, 所以都好講運。
對於小朋友是否喜歡該校, 雖然佢地太細未識表達, 但作為佢地既照顧者, 一定有所感受。"吃不到的葡萄是酸的"  宜家都未有結果, 何出此言
