我幾年前的經驗，當時所有申請的國際學校大致上都你所說的安排。而且，不是每一間學校也有 Admission Officer 在 1st interview 時安排與家長單獨會面，我不覺這是一個 screening 的程序，反而是給機會家長問關於 admission process 的問題，我覺得 IXX 其實算做得好好，另外有些是1對100的講座形式。當然 admission officer 態度專業否 。。。你當是看看學校的 administration 也好。
playgroup 類的 assessment，非常"大路" 的做法，難道你想幾歲小朋友做卷？千幾元 application fee 也是好多國際學校收的費用，值不值得去花錢報，是個人選擇。我記憶 ESF 比較平，但不是人人有面試機會。

You sound frustrated but I see nothing wrong in this whole interview process. So what are you unhappy about?

個人意見:
1. 去到interview先叫你比application fee，好仁慈啦!好多人申請EXX比左application fee到頭來得封waiting list信(HK$1.7本地郵費)；話In都冇得in；
2. in 500人；同一番話講500次；有heart都變冇heart；好戲都變爛戲；我都同情admission staff處境；
3. 假設你apply Year One, interview間間都係playgroup style；唔通叫你寫篇論文?
4. 理解你的不滿；但食得鹹魚抵得渴；參加呢個遊戲就要按規則。學校邀請你去interview；你當然有權問佢係咪必收你你先決定比面去唔去In(當然佢一定唔會睬你)。
5. 錢花左；時間花左做預備；你同小朋友都有得著。冇損失。

多年前大女都有in過, 雖然收咗, 但對佢地嘅depreciated bond有保留. 所以有其他選擇就冇讀. 坦白講, 如果樓主有in過其他IS, 無論價錢及process 都好公道及正常. 反而LS神校, 好似好平一二佰蚊, 但得幾份鐘in, 計落米重貴.

就算screening/scanning/filtering/interview 都可以做好d. 感覺係主觀， 無right or wrong.

We went through interviews for 4 IS (some more than 1 round), and to be honest, our experience with Ixx was also the worst among all.

千幾元申請費吾算貴，在IS算平。
這間宗教好濃，教友家庭適合好多。

Interview的感覺差，reject letter用詞更差，感覺不良好。宗教氣氛極濃，不適合非基督徒家庭。

1月時收到通知去interview, 為咗預備interview比咗心機同時間及忍耐
但是換來原來只一場戲。 當然我全家都 ...
換來原來只一場戲: 但係你有冇俾心機去演？
當然我全家都係配角: 其實需要你做主角，但你有冇做？
原來上午已有一批， 下午一批 共約50人， 話要interview 2星期先in 得晒：咁多人爭你都唔俾心機演好佢？
我唔清楚in其他班別有冇，但我們留意到手上instruction叫大家按小朋友nametag顏色分區坐好。我看只有我們和另一家人做到；老師有留意到的。在分區坐好等待入interview room時，小朋友們四散亂玩，而我們便和孩子安坐看書；老師都看在眼裡。
家長們在waiting room 填問卷: 問卷的問題是讓家長們能及早準備，在見校長／admin staff 時可以暢順回答（因為後來發現問卷和見面的問題是一樣的），我覺得這方面學校算周到。
我以為見校長， 原來見admission staff, 奇怪！ admission staff ! 校長呢？：我們見admin staff 時校長在隔壁, 也是見緊家長，所以抽唔抽到見校長只是彩數問題。咁多applicants校長一個見唔晒，找信得過的admin staff代見不算過份。Admin staff 的功力有多少是另話。
果位admissions 緊張我地application fee 交咗未， 張票有無係佢個folder： A matter of paper work.
然後hea 問點解報呢間，從佢的眼神就知道佢係好唔care 我地問什麼， 最重要， 最重要，睇下我地幾時講完: 你以為佢hea, 證明佢好戲過你。其實呢條係關鍵。答案不合耳, 佢未冇乜回應囉! 這邊箱對答興高彩列，絕無冷場！走時admin staff 還說：see you again soon! [是的，我們後來收到offer]
佢跟住想remind我地學校debenture加咗價250k: Again a matter of admin paper work
然後佢停一停， 佢同時留意我同老婆面色及眼神的變化 (可惜我地無交戲， 我地應該答 咁平 咁抵 , 咁大眾化 咁樣質素去邊樹揾呀): Model answer - 根本不是一回事。
我問我個仔做什麼， 佢話 畫 circle, triangle...: 你認為小朋友留意到多少？就算是用來test家長的方法，很多家長都miss了，何況小朋友？看禮貌，聽accent，孩子的反應好不好，執筆手勢正不正確，是否compliant, 是否 a happy child, 有冇 imagination... 畫圓畫三角只是觀察的其中一種技倆。我自己in公司同事都大把觀察小計謀，何況經驗豐富的老師團隊! 平日有沒有為孩子在學術以外作好準備，那才是關鍵。
根本唔係正式interview, 只係千幾蚊參加一個半小時playgroup. 我真不知佢地今次interview目的：根本就係正式interview, 你看不穿個中關係，證明你和你孩子不適合這學校，甚至不適合international schools.
千幾蚊作為一個體驗，可能未必值得: 這間的報名費是我報其中最平的，千幾蚊不是一個體驗，是一個機會。懂不懂得把握是另話。
作家長 係interview之前預備好辛苦：你預備了什麼？我看不出！
聽朋友講 學校ok , 唔錯， 不過今次interview 就怪：你去過其他IS的面試嗎?

Boldly speaking, perhaps the admin staff or principal already knew who they would be serious with and who they would not from the time the parents walked into the room and had the first contact with them. (Especially those can't hide their arrogance and show no respect to the instructions).

It seems the format of interview is similar to R1 interview at their Ma On Shan Campus.

Indeed having the chance for interview is already lucky. The interview process is similar to other IS. The application fee is relatively cheaper compared to other IS (not to mention some even charge assessment fee on top of application fee). Guess the interview process is to see the reactions of the child and whether the parents are the types that the school wants which cannot be judged / seen by screening the info on the paper.

N年前in ESF ，程序都係咁上下……無咩特別呀
in過好幾間is，一個校長都無見過喎……
作者: ahman327 時間: 14-4-5 22:11 標題: 回覆：gabthomas 的帖子
That's the normal practice for IS. Their interview is focus on children's response and communication between parent and child. Academic part is not their main focus. If you are not happy with that, you may not be happy to the IS syllabus too.

I do not see anything wrong with the interview procedure you described which is quite standard in most school . Admission to be done by admission staff instead of the principal is reasonable to me. Interview fee is similar to other IS, isn't it? As for your comment that parents prepare hard for the interview, I find it a mismatch of expectation. Parents actually do not need to prepare for the interview, just need to fill out a very simple questionnaire. And wait for the kid to be finished. Kids interview mainly to test their proficiency in English. No drilling is required for such type of interview.
Hope you had better luck with other applications.

Long long time ago, my son’s interview was like this: we sat at principle office and had aa short interview, a friendly talk. Then the principle take my son to a small room to do some test, I guess it is about the same thing your child did. After that, she took us to visit the class rooms, playground, and say hello to the teacher…AND…. told us she accepted our son and gave us one month to think about it! I am surprised by this arrangement……and wonder how could she spend so many time on us???? But very Human, I must say.
However, I heard from other parent, the school changed to group interview recently. Kind of sad to me!

我都知道你唔系真系覺得該位JM似係打手，不過從樓主比較sarcastic嘅語調就看得出樓主覺得係！...
我只想澄清，我不是打手，我亦不認為樓主覺得我是。他是有點sarcastic, 但也有點點真。算吧，也不用深究了。
我和ICS沒有關係(大家不用單單打打吧！明眼人也知道大家在說那間學校)。我不是員工、什麼董事會等等，孩子最後也不準備入ICS。我始終覺得那是一間難得的好學校，目標一向是教好學生，也認識不少朋友或朋友的孩子讀過ICS，教出來都是品學兼優的好孩子。
我的確只是路過，看不過眼有人如此侮辱學校，說得學校只是看錢看似的。無論如何，我說樓主和孩子不適國際學校，但後來也看過樓主其他posts, 發現他也是有心人，想下一代有好的成長，所以只想再次路過說聲sorry, 那天晚上語氣重了，希望樓主的孩子繼續有一個快樂健康的童年。（話是說了，我不會delete當冇件事，因為聽了的人始終聽了，只希望post留下來給自己及大家作為儆醒）
無論如何，大家上來都希望互相交流、有所得著，希望大家戾氣過後能用理智好好了解每件事情的始末, 也不希望樓主的post會對學校或樓主自己留下壞印象。

I think the school's interview process is pretty standard amongst IS. I would not expect to be able to talk to the principal at the interview of most IS. Batches of applicants are divided into different days and time slots. I really don't see anything wrong with that. In my view for lower grades in most IS, what the school looks for are character of the kids, whether they will be a good match with the school. IS usually seeks kids who are more outgoing and have a curious to learn disposition rather than what they know academically. Maybe your expectations are more suitable to local school styles.

AGREE WITH 樓主，我感覺最差的INTERVIEW就係IXX，你話大人有打手，有吃不到的葡萄的家長...，不如看看小朋友INTERVIEW完的反應，"呆若木雞"來形容是最貼切，個個都哭喪著臉的出來，真難想像入到去讀書，小朋友會怎樣。
小小人兒何以坐兩個半鐘去被人捽，怪可憐。
我同我老公都係咁諗。
我不是打手。

Did your child apply for Grade 1 or Reception?
I am not sure how the Shek Mun campus runs (sounds similar according to the descriptions here), but our son went to the Ma on Shan interview and my boy came out as happy as his CDNIS or IMS interviews. Other kids coming out seemed happy as well. The only exception was a mainland couple I met at the playground next door, who told me their girl cried severely and refused to go into the interview room so she didn't get tested. From talking to them though they seemed generally clueless about Int'l Schools anyhow.
Compared with the CDNIS Pre-reception interview (same age), ICS is pretty okay. At least the kids didn't have to go down a dim staircase down a floor holding only onto the teachers and through a long corridor to reach their interview classroom. I assure you many more kids cried at the CDNIS interview. ICS allowed the parents to take their children to the door, some even to go in to settle them in, so that's kind if nice.

At the end, they said goodbye to us and told us they will get back to us as soon as possible, and they did reply back on tge same day by phone and email to let us know they accepts our daughter.
