Do they allow 2 or just 1 parent for the interview?

作者: aung0528 時間: 09-1-4 00:57

We have submitted our application form very early in the morning; however, my interview time is 1.46pm. Just wonder if spk has already screened the application and put those "on list" to be interviewed in early time on January 17.

BTW, do you think if there is any preference for spk to take students? One of their preference is full time non-working mother as I recalled from a babykingdom mother.

aung0528,

2 years ago, i submitted the form at around 2:00pm and my interview time was 8:20am, and my friend submitted the form before 9:00am and her interview time was arranged at 1:45pm.  it seems that the interview time is vice versa to the time of application.

they allow 2 parents to join the interview.

this year, i submitted the form at around 11:45 and the time of interview is 11:40.

for your information, in my daughter's class, most of the mothers are full time working mother. so i don't think spk's preference is full time non-working mother.

good luck.

I certainly hope what you said is true because my daughter's interview time is 9:02am......

I intentionally choose to submit the form around 12noon to 1pm so hoping the interview time won't be too early nor too late. But it seems it didin't work well. Fortunately my daughter did well yesterday at SHKG so I will be less worried.

Good luck to everyone!

Hi all,

I don't think it's true as I submitted the form at around 9:00am and got interview time at 9:30am.

So I would think it depends on the month born and then the application no. My girl is a big girl and we submitted form in early morning.

Let's share more here and prove it.

Hi, I guess in that case it is quite random. Because my daughter was born in August 06 so it will be quite difficult to relate her month of birth in any order to put her so early. It's a mystery to me too!

Unfortunately, my daughter usually behave better during the afternoon (evening is her best time!) so morning interview would probably rule out her chance. Good luck to you all!

iantsang,

I still think interview in the morning probably has a better chance than afternoon one. Also, your bb did well in SH yesterday so you don't need to worry too much.

BTW, please share which kindergarten you think is better if you don't mind. Many people say that SH is a good school but with a lot of homework. We just don't want to put much pressure on bb in the future.

kkmore,

We arrived the school at 8.25am on submission day but the interview time is later than you (1.46pm). I think they have already screened all application form and put in sequence according their preference.

Someone told me that they will chop your form if you are catholic. Not sure if this is true.

作者: iantsang 時間: 09-1-5 00:15

Hi aung0528,

   In a sense, I leave it to faith for the case of spk for my daughter.  Let's just say I should be able to secure a place for my daughter but I decided not to do it.  Didn't feel right, and let's just leave it unexplained the details.

   Concerning the comparison of the two schools, I need to be frank that they both are not my original top choices but have somehow evolved to be ones throughout the kindergarten selection process.

   I must say, there are no such thing as one single good school to everyone.  From my point of view, it is whether you buy in the philosophy of how the schools are being ran.  I need to be honest but I never actually compare the two kindergartens, but in fact focus on their secondary sections.  The main focus here is whether you want your daughter to be studying in SPCS or SHCC, and they are schools with very different style.  Of course, during the process moving from kinder to primary and to secondary, they are also different.  To make it simple, if you choose SPK, you are narrowing your options to only SPCS(Primary) and SPCS ultimately.  On the other hand, SHCC will be more pushy and students are competitive.  Please don't take this message incorrectly, SPCS students are very competitive, but in different sense.  You almost need to know their graduates well to really know the different.  But imagine you have 8-9 class of primary competing for 6 classes in secondary school, this really drives the students.  And many of them will choose other good secondary schools since SHCC may not be their ultimate destinations.

For the case of SPCS, I think majority of students will stay there all the way from kindergarten to secondary.  So, the atomsphere will be different.  They are also competitive but their focus will then become something further than a place in secondary school.

All these are just my personal observations from people I know over the years from all the band 1 girl schools.  It may no longer be correct since many of them have graduated long time ago.  But I hope it helps you with some other point of views during your selection.

iantsang,

Thanks for your kind sharing.

After 2 interviews, we wonder whether we have got too many interviews for my bb providing that we don't really fully understand how the primary school allocation system is. We have chosen school far away from home might be not a correct choice.

My hubby and I won't put much pressure to our bb since her performance really depends on her mood. She did very well in her first interview in the kindergarten that is not our target one. We have paid the deposit anyway.

Being parent is not easy....

作者: iantsang 時間: 09-1-5 00:48

haha, don't worry since it really depends on how you manage this interview process.  Anything is a learning process to the kids and I can tell you I have used different approaches since Nov, 08 and yesterday was the sixth interviews and still have 2-3 more to go.

At the beginning, I also think I don't want to give the pressures to my daughter and wanna let her behave naturally.  But I do learn my lesson and realize she has the right to know what is going on.

You know it is always a debate whether to let the kids aware they are going to interviews, and whether to give the kids pressure.  For our case, we didn't inform our daughter very well on the first two and we learn our lesson.  Fortunately those kinder still accepts her anyway.  As a result, strategy was changed and we start to inform her these interviews are important to herself.  She seems to understand and behave well at Kentville and got accepted.

However, it went south since I told her the next interview is not important and she behaved badly.  Her mom went crazy and I decided to better inform her, and gave her all the details about these interviews.  Quite honestly, I don't know how much she actually understand, but her answers to me made me convince she does know what is going on.  Of course, reinforcement (rewards) are being mentioned to motivate her to do well in interviews, and it has proven to work again at SHCK.

Just wanna share my personal view that there are no needs to over-protect the children with more details on the situation.  Of course, it is really depending upon how well they can comprehend your messages and make the judgement from there.

I reviewed the application form I filled in but I wonder what preferences they would give to my daughter.

The only thing I can think of, is my wife is a full time housewife. But I am not sure if that can be considered as a preference......

Hi,

Do you give her a lot of preparations before interviews? Just curious why will she feel unhappy about more interviews.

I usually just inform my daughter she will have interviews ahead of time but mainly just to prepare her mentally instead of actual hands-on exercises. So far she is quite happy to see new schools everytime, except for TL, haha! The mistake was mine so she shouldn't be accounted for it.

I didn't provide any training to her at all. She knows everything about herself (name, age, gender, family members) as well as shapes and colors. If she is in good mood and performs "normally" she can answer all of them like at St Cat or Kentville (even singing a song, too). What I did was just to "inform" her she will meet with the teachers the following day.

Anyway the competition at SPK will be far greater than that in SH, so I just bear a casual mind to attend with her on the 17th.

作者: iantsang 時間: 09-1-5 13:45

I guess it is really hard to guess the little kids' minds nowadays as they are obviously more complicated than when we were their age! I thought visiting kindergartens and play there should be fun and happy!

The competition is so severe in SPK that I don't think any preparation would help really! Just take it easy and let it be lar! Good luck!

作者: iantsang 時間: 09-1-5 14:08

Oh I remember now! So your daughter is studying at TL now. I believe her performance will be great since kids who have went to K1 already definitely can behave more consistently and not as much surprises as we do! Really hard to deal with kids' minds! fyi, my daughter only got wait-listed at TL

Actually, don't give up the chance. My sister's daughter is an example who manage to get in to SPCS(primary) as outsiders few years ago. So, there are always hope! Sometimes we as parents can try to plan so much for them but sometimes I guess there are so many things we cannot control. One key thing I keep remind myself is, we can try to path the way for our children, but they are the ones who walk through it. We can only guide them but may be there are things we thought are right for them but may not be the case. So be it!

Before all interviews, my wife and I planned to let her study in Kentville because we want her to be more disciplinary and listening. I think it should be a good place for her and she did manage to get accepted fortunately. However, I later realize the options available 3 years later when it come to primary school selection are very limited. Quite honestly, I believe in the "brand name" effect since I also gradauted from band 1 school when I was kid. So, the options available will be very few if study in Kentville, and SHCK and SPK provide better continuity to primary schools which are both well-known. It is a very very difficult decision to make but I guess I will wait until all the results are announced to make the call eventually. No points to think too much since there are just too many factors that we cannot control. Quite sad but this is how the rule of the game is, I guess.

Hi Ian,

What a coincidence that my thinking process re Kentville/St. Cat is very similar to you. Apart from the "brand name" effect you have talked about, I have also considered education plan of my younger daughter, who was just born Nov 08.

作者: iantsang 時間: 09-1-5 14:59

Oh congratulations to your new born! So we are indeed similar since I also have a younger daughter born in June this year. So, we will definitely be meeting again two years later for their interviews. That's why I also wanna consider primary since it will be easier for the younger one if the elder daughter can find a good primary and the second one can follow.

Very common questions like: why do you apply to this KG? what do you expect the kid's learning experience at the SPK? how would you support SPK as parents (school-parents relationships etc)? who take care of the kid at home?

I may mix up with other KG interviews before, but the questions are simply those you are quite ready to answer at most KG interviews.
