SIS vs KCIS vs Victoria vs ISF,how to choose?

Hi 112200,

The fact is, most children who attend the eng interview are not native english speakers whilst those who attend the putonghua one mostly speak with a native tongue. So he would be at a disadvantage in the chinese one.

In either interview, the teacher would only speak that particular language. If your son can speak and understand english all right, he should be fine. Just remember not to make any utterance in cantonese. Leave the rest to luck.

Hi lamtsuiyee,

Ms. Fan is very good, very experienced and loving. The children like her very much.

May I ask do SIS has school bus to Kowloon side? like
Kowloon Tong/ Kowloon station?

Bib

From the updated school bus schedule, I could see that Bus 1A travels thru Kowloon Tong KCR Station, Broadcast Rd, La Salle Road and Prince Edward Road, etc. . Actually, the Kowloon buses cover quite a wide area. You just need to give the bus company your address and they will arrange for the pick-up point.

My son will travel from Kowloon Station to SIS via school bus.  So just fill in the form and they will arrange the slot.

Is it difficult to pass SIS PY1's interview?

Are there many candidates?

What does SIS look for? What kinds of students / families are their "types"?

Bib

The interview itself is not difficult, but as the number of candidates is growing in recent years, it's getting more and more competitive.

I guess the more expressive a child is, the better the chance he/she stands. I don't think SIS has any particular family type in mind.

請問SIS家長：兒子2008年出生，想報PY1，應何時交申請表？何時會有Open Day?校巴往九龍塘附近需時多久？如太久要另作打算，如搬屋到港島區或自己安排接送。謝謝！
