share the 2nd interview for DGJS

cherryyim

Frankly speaking, I like dgjs and st. paul co-ed only, but has failed with the latter one. Sacred Heart in HK Island is also a good choice to me, but it seems to far for my kids to travel everyday from kln side. will try anyway. Just cross my fingers for dgjs.. wish dec 19 will come quickly!

People said that Good Hope is also a good choice for girls on the Kowloon side.    Cos' it's connected to their secondary school and the academic aspect is also strong.   SH is a good school but the students tend to have a lot of homework.   Honestly, I just treated DGJS as a lottery and I don't use to have those kind of luck, haha.   My girl loves St Stephen's College, but we haven't got any acceptance letter yet..... sigh

My kid applied several school, GH, DGJS, SPCE, SF, etc but no info so far. I think SPC already dead and just wait for the others.However, heard that GH and SF have sent out their acceptance letter but I havnt received and so a bit nervous now..

Don't know why the application of DSS and private schools are so competitive.  My girl's five friends applied for HKUGA, two of them have brother and sister studying P.2 already, but they are only on top waiting list!!!  And the other three are just on normal waiting list............... This year, so many parents applied DSS and private schools for their kids........sigh

Any news from Mums who attend the interview in these few days ?

Let me share the interview today.

(1) Registration, went to a waiting room
(2) Went to another waiting room, girls reading, parents sat down. One staff was inside observing, she checked the documents as well. Wonder she gave any mark to girls who read with concentration.
(3) Went up to 1st floor, waited outside Mrs. Dai's room.
(4) 2 girls came out, then my girl & another girl went in.
(5) 2 girls played 包剪揼, the one who won could choose to talk to Mrs Dai or read books first.
(6) My girl won, so questions were asked:
      - Name
      - Address
(7) A pic (a finished artwork) was shown to her, she needed to tell the procedures of making that piece of artwork (not sure what, sth like a mouse made by paper).
(8) Ask her Daddy's job.
(9) The other girl's turn.
The timing was exactly 15 mins. Mrs Dai seemed a bit tired, I guess she really has to see many girls in a day. She did not stare at the daddies too much. People said the longer she stares at the daddy the better.
I think it is really hard to get in. Some people said 1 out of 5, some said 1 out of 3. I don't know what.
Good luck.

So marks will be deducted if daddy not show up in the interview??

Thanks for sharing. In my case, Mrs Dai did not ask my job but I really notice that Mrs Dai did pay some time to look at the parents. May be this can give her some insight on the family or with some other reasons...But I do recommend to go with parents

ivypurin0803

But my hubby can't attend for the job nature. so upset

Rick18li

Frankly, this may be important because from this, the school will know how do you place your children. For me, I took the holiday and told my company that this was a must. So hope you will think this again and I think it's a matter of do it or not. One more experience can share with you was on the day my kid attended the interview, Mrs Dai did not look at the other kid's mother at all (only the kid's mum attended) and used most of time to look at us and how we interacted with my kid. So please try best to bring your second half to the interview.

Thanks for your kind advice. My hubby works in school setting so it's quite difficult to take a leave. You know,in school,  holiday is only for  "red & white" matter ah! So harsh!

Rick18li

Anyhow, good luck to your la

During the interview on last friday, the other girl that has the interview together with my daughter are having her mom there as well. I noticed that Mrs Dai did stare to her more than our both. And her daughter did speak loud for the good bye to the principle while our daughter is too eager to stick with me.. and say nothing... sigh.....

This is a must! It is about your child's education. Have a sick leave. You will find most of the other kids go with both parents, if you don't, you will feel bad. Today there was only one kid (out of 6) who only had her mother with her in the waiting room. Her mother looked miserable...Think again...

My girl had the interview last Friday. Her partner also had her mom with her only. She told her mom after the interview that Mrs. Dai asked why daddy cannot come today. That means Mrs. Dai cares.

beautiful_mama

Yes, she cares.
She also observed how the dress up of the parents too, I'm pity sure about that, cause she looked at my wife from head to toe.
