Do any of you have an idea of the number of applicants for St. Paul Boys' ?

【明報專訊】「龍年效應」過後，明年升讀小一人口大幅下跌。不過，部分私立、直資小學收生則不跌反升，收表較去年增加，競爭仍見激烈。小一入學委員會主席張志鴻分析，不少家長抱有多一個機會的「水泡心態」，私立、直資小學受歡迎不足為奇。

多所私立、直資學校競爭激烈，如私校拔萃女小學近乎 18人爭 1位﹔直資小學聖保羅書院小學逾 8人爭 1學位，部分私立及直資小學接獲申請比去年增加。聖保羅書院小學申請人數均「逆市上升」，逾 798人報讀，爭入 90個學額，競爭情

Dear All,

My eldest son interviewed in this school  a few years ago and got accepted. Since the school is still has the same headmaster, I would like to share the experience with you all.

First, please wear " smart causal", long pants, a shirt with a sleeveless sewater, make sure to cut the finger nails.

Remind the kid to say "Good morning or afternoon and goodbye".

The headmaster will ask the kid to go to her room by himself, the parent is asked to sit outside to wait. The kid will sit on the sofa and the head master will sit on a chair near him. Then she will asked him his name, do you know which school are you interviewed now. Then she will ask some simple question, such as what will you see in the park, or shopping mall. What will you do in the weekend, are you going somewhere with your parents etc.

I did not go with my husband, those are not counted at all,(actually my son went to interview for 5 schools and my husband did not go at all and my son still got accepted by all the schools) just relax, for sure the kid will know how to answer the questions, as long as he will speak up.

Don't worry so much.

nsachung,

Thanks again!

Really?  That's very formal, not smart causal I suppose, ha ha...  To me, smart causal = "polo shirt" plus loose pants, just like "IT look" in adult's world.

Pls pls, share more with us.  What do you think is your son's strongest point - why ALL schools liked him, e.g. very good academic result? awards? reference letters? rich parents? (ha ha)  Thank you!

Dear  all,

My son's academic is o.k., not the toppest one.

I think the pofile give him some extra points. I attached a letter from his headmaster to talk about his academic and well behaviours in the school. He also has a few activities with reference letter or certificates, such as drawing, swimmimg. Then according to each school, I will write a letter to tell them I really looking for my son to study in that school, of course I will write a few words to appreciate the school first. (actually I will find out the name of the headmaster, so that my letter is attention to him or she personally). And also, in the profile, I will attach a few pictures to show them my son has been travel to many countries to explore his life. Of course, I think me and my husband education background will also pleased the school. I graduated from University of Toronto but I resigned from my work since my son started school from K1. Then most of the headmasters also like a full time mom more. I have this feeling because a few headmasters did asked me how come I will quit a job and take care of a kid. My answer is that a kid is more important when they are small, they are just a piece of white paper, you are the one to put the colour on it.Therefore, my relationship with my son is very close. Evereyday before he goes to school, he will still give me a hug and a kiss, he will save some pocket money and buy me a christmas present.

The most important is that I think he did great in interview. He will speak up with appropriate answers. He is very polite and looks very smart. He is funny too. I just remember one of the interview question from st. paul's boys, the headmaster asked him to compare him and his father's differences and need to list 5 diffferent items.Then he answered that his father is taller, with glasses,better in sports, his shoes are smaller than his father and then he also said the other people said he is a little fatter than his father, this made the headmaster laugh with him.

Before the interview, I also practise the questions with him at home and pretened that I am the teacher. He needed to know how to knock at the door and pull out the chair nicely.

I hope my comments can help you all. ttyl.
