How's your child's interview with SIS? I was told there were questions about shapes and colors. That's all my 3 year old child could tell.

作者: ikerberg 時間: 15-1-16 20:52

In the past few years, shapes and colors were a 'must-test' and a bit more than that would be using shapes and colors as the basics for tests of logical thinking....for example, they would be shown the squence of:
a square, a triangle, a circle, a square, a triangle, _____
and asked: what's next?

How competitive it is for non Singaporean to get in? When will the result be released? Thx

Comparatively speaking, for non-Sing, entry at PY1 shall be the 'easiest'....
From our observations in the past few years, the rough 'guesstimate' for non-Sing would be around 20-30 seats out of the total 100 seats.

The school has never announced the total number of applications for each year, so, I would rather not make any guesstimation on these figures lest it would deviate substantially from the actual ones.

My girl can't tell much either.. She said she was asked to count 1-10, name the shapes, and interviewed in both mandarin and english.

作者: jolalee 時間: 15-1-18 07:11

I believe it gets harder when they are older. I heard for a 4 year old (for py2 interview perhaps?) they expected the child to be able to read in both English and Chinese.

好消息的，通常是過年前收到信。

作者: ikerberg 時間: 15-1-18 11:56

since the languages of instructions in PY1 are English & Putonghua, the kids could hardly 'survive' in PY2 if they are not proficient in the two languages..

作者: minirat 時間: 15-1-18 12:41 標題: 回覆：SIS

My boy could not tell much either. He vaguely mentioned about cutting vege in the kitchen, playing with car on the track, shapes, etc. He too mentioned about speaking English and Putonghua. The contents do not seem difficult for this age. I believe the teachers will have their way to assess the kids, just that most kids are probably not capable of conveying the details yet.

True. 真是強中自有強有手。It's beyond question, you would expect the standard of English and Mathematics is very high for the school. What's even more impressive is the standard of Chinese/PTH of my son's classmates……be they Koreans/Australians, their standard is not inferior to the Chinese kids'. I always have this question in my mind: "How do they do that?"

學校的雙語課程、教學和語境，是非常好。
另一樣是，初小無考試，日常功課很少，小朋友有很多時間看書和玩耍。

有說SIS是IS裏算谷的，但和local名小比，仍是天堂。

小一沒有考試, 小二開始, 中,英, 數三科都有 Year end exam!
不過大部分小朋友都輕鬆應付到, 沒什麼大壓力! 高年班就未知

不是小二都沒有考試，由小三開始嗎？
其實高小開始到中學，有要求或想成績好的，係邊間IS都無得話hea讀。

IS的好處是少d消磨人心志的無聊功課，對小朋友學習興趣的干擾較小。即使有測驗，都係志在check住小朋友進度，吾係話教淺考深玩你，亦無話要分高下。

學校的課程其實吾算深，派回家看的圖書亦很簡單，我小朋友本身學術超前很多，但吾知道係老師功力，定係個語言、學習環境，我覺得她很是學到很多，中英文在寫作和表達都有長進。
另外，學校的課程編排好有心思，除日日有中英數外，還有art，dance，drama，cultural appreciation，science等，體育堂之餘，亦有游泳堂，做到全人發展。我好感恩小朋友在一個好好的環境學習，學校每天為她增值。

Haaa! Its always good to identify both pros and cons! If I remember correctly, SIS used to provide French as third language. Personally I think swimming is good enough, for health reasons. For promoting sports as an interest, I agree we could always do this outside school.

應該係 "必收" 同 "必唔收" 會最早收信，通常係過年前。但唔會一次放哂100個位，會留起一些位俾預算稍遲來港的新加坡人。跟著就因應enrollment 既情況，出 Rejected 同waiting 信，呢個時候應該越遟收到信越好，表示你係學校越想保留的，wait 到位既機會較大。

If I and my daughter are Singaporeans, it it guaranteed that she will get a place at SIS, even if her apply for P1 grade (but not PY1 grade)? Or does she still need to pass the interview and written tests?

Jane, 我們是去年插班讀五年級的。在高小時，學校會推荐一些資優的program，如cty,家長可自行决定是否參與。另外，這間學校真是好的没得说，孩子讀得輕鬆快樂，知識掌握得也扎實。

Yes, mandarin will be tested during interview. And I don't think they guarantee places for Singaporeans, just priority is given. It is necessary to prepare and pass all interviews and written.

昨天有報章的報導提到，現時SIS全校學生中 47% 為新加坡籍，即non-Singaporean 為53%, 這算是一個比較官方的數字。不過留意到自從近年開了中學部後，是多了新加坡小朋由PY 開始讀上去。

没有，非Singapoean其實好難真系pick up到果種accent的，因為那是24/7，家庭的訓練。尤其小朋友已識講英文，佢地已有自己一套。

Minirat: This is just a personal concern. I'm not against it but just wonder. I do have lots of Singaporean friends, but they tend to say three as 'tree'. They just tend to miss out the 'th' sound in all the words.

since the English teachers are mostly from US, UK, Canada etc.....I found even the Sing students do not have Sing accent...

A son of my close friend is studying in sis p2 . They are a pure hk family. His son speak fluent English in perfect structure and standard accent. No singlish or so at all. But my friend said its common among the group they are playing with but his son will joke with her by speaking in singlish sometimes. His son said even his Singaporean will joke in singlish too.
