請問KCIS 開始出interview信未？大約幾時開始岀信？多多指教。多謝！

作者: Littleho 時間: 11-10-20 08:46

If you are eligible for interview, they will notify you by calling you personally and may ask you to choose a date/time. That's what happened to my kids. If you apply for Kindergarten class this year, I guess they are grouping the applicants for interviews in priority. My younger son will be interviewed in early Nov.

Yes, I got their call. Luckily, his interview for KCIS is earlier than other schools. I guess my son is early because of his silbling is currently in KCIS

希望我女唔會係1月14日INTERVIEW
個日我地唔係香港
老公個細佬係外國結婚, 全家都要去

請問係唔係得一日IN? 會唔會可以轉時間?
日日都好擔心

作者: Littleho 時間: 11-10-20 12:47

I do not know the interview for Kindergarten Class in 2011. For Reception class 2011, there were 3X interviewees for 5 spots and the interview span two days (two morning sessions and two afternoon sessions, so roughly 8 candidates per interview session).

I think four Kindergarten classes can accommodate a max of 96 students. My wild guess is that the interviews might take up over 20 days.

請問interview 的模式大致係點呢？是英文定國語呢？

另會否問家長問題呢？

作者: mister 時間: 11-10-28 11:51

In 完Priority Group 係咪會出咗offer 先，有位先in 埋其他applicants 呢？

時間越來越近

好怕會撞時間

作者: Littleho 時間: 11-11-1 14:17

I guess KCIS will only interview on weekdays. It was the case for my elder son (Reception class) and P1 candidates. My younger son (Kindergarten class) will also be interviewed on weekdays. In addition, my sons were given a choices of two dates (morning or afternoon).

作者: Littleho 時間: 11-11-1 16:27

I guess the interviews are not likely in the week of Jan 16-20. If your kid are accepted, you will be required to pay deposit (2 months of tuition fees) within a week to secure the spot. Note that Jan 23 -31 will be the KCIS school holiday.

又話未知....又唔知可唔可以改時間...
真係好希望我女會IN到

作者: crystalpui 時間: 11-11-1 16:49

唔好意思
再問少少
即係一IN完就會知收唔收的嗎?

作者: Littleho 時間: 11-11-1 16:57

The answer is yes, especially for international schools. Some international kindergartens do not even have interviews, because they believe that it is not meaningful to test small kids (i.e. 2-3 years old)

iamworkingmama,

Did your kid sit for the group interview for Kindergarten class in Mar/Apr this year? Was it easy?

作者: iamworkingmama 時間: 11-11-2 18:01

Hi Littleho,

no. My girl is sep 10 bb!
I hope that she will succeed in the interview in 2013.

but as mentioned earlier, my girl's no. is 15x, I am not sure whether she will be asked to attend interview

fingers crossed!

作者: Littleho 時間: 11-11-2 18:25

While I am not so confident about the interview, I believe not every candidiates consider KCIS as their number 1 target school. Hence, some people submit applications just for backup. I have also applied for several international kindergartens for backup.

而佢又要一星期內交deposit
俾著你, 就算唔係你first target, 你會唔會俾deposit?

作者: Littleho 時間: 11-11-2 21:40 標題: 回復 39# crystalpui 的帖子

There were people giving up the deposits and people who pulled their kids in the middle of the school year. So, don't give up.

Hi Littleho, could you share with me the other international kinder choices? I am planning the international school path for my son who was born in 2010. Fo far other than kcis I am not aware of other kundera that have begun accepting applications for 2010 kids. I am worried that I am missing something important. Your help would be greatly appreciated!!

Apart from KCIS, I have lodged application forms for SWCK, Starters school, ESF, Anfield, YMCA TST, Kowloon Baptist Christian Kindergarten, Anfield.

You may also consider Cdnis and GSIS which also operate K1 equivalent classes.

作者: iamworkingmama 時間: 11-11-4 14:57

Hi LittleHo,

Yes, when I submitted my application to KCIS, I also treated it as back up. But now KCIS is my first choice ..... haha

I have also applied CDNIS for my girl but I know it is very difficult to get a seat. Am thinking whether to apply for SIS.

I also heard that SWCK is a very good school but I hope that my girl would learn Chinese.

作者: Ocean419 時間: 11-11-7 12:57

Thanks for sharing. So far KCIS is the only k1 that goes by first come first served basis while all other have an interview process that gives all applicants an equal chance to compete for limited space, correct? I think next year I will definitely go for ESF, SWCK and CDNIS. For the pre-nursery class I am now considering Sunshine House which just started the bilingual stream in english/mandarin. Hope my son can get in and learn some basic mandarin which will make his life a list easier when he goes on to kinder.

HI Ocean419,

Please check with the application procedure of CDNIS. I heard that they only accept applications from canadian passport holders, diplomatic family and returning family now.

作者: Ocean419 時間: 11-11-7 15:02

Really? Wow that just proves the popularity of CDNIS! Luckily we do meet one of the 3 criteria that you listed. If it is true, I am actually happy about it as it will significantly cut the competition down to those who would have received higher priority under the old rule. I will check into that. Thanks.

For ESF interview, I think it should be around Jan-Mar 2012 depending on their priority system.

Yes, interview on this Thursday. Hope my kid will be accepted.

Sorry for the mis-understanding. I mean if your daughter is good in English, her Cantonese skill will not affect whether she will be accepted or not. While my elder son spoke Cantonese at the end of interview, he was accepted. Having said that, it appears that my elder son's classmates are either from Tutor-time, Woodland. One of my elder son's classmates and lunch-mates is from KCS.

作者: Littleho 時間: 11-11-9 12:52

Priority for interview:
Top Priority: Silbling
Second Priority: KCS students

I think it will be less important in upper years (eg. P1). For upper years, they really look into the applicants' English skills.
