St Catherine K1 Application

Arosa

i know plenty of "small children", born in Sep, Oct, Nov and even Dec being accepted by SC.  Not sure if that's because of their relatively large no. of classes, SC does accept small kids.  

It's ok that u choose English interview.  Of course the teachers won't expect your child to speak very fluently, but at least he or she should show the ability to understand and speak a little bit English.

Hope it can help, and good luck for the interview in early November.

No need be too worried but it's useful to get prepared.

For last year’s English interview, some of the children were asked questions like this:
What’s your name?
How old are you?
Who is this? (the accompanying adult)
To differentiate among different colours and different kinds of fruits (e.g. the interviewer will pick an apple and ask what is this, or the child is requested to pick an object of specified colour,etc)
For parents: why choose SC and what’s your expectation on the kg.

I heard another big girl born in Jan, interviewed in Chinese.  Not sure if it was because she is big, her questions seemed more complicated, e.g. the teacher asked her, “個咀用黎做咩野”.

That said, the school may have different “interview strategy” for every year, so you may just choose whatever you’re most confident of.

For active children, there should be no major problem provided he/she performs well in the interview.  By impression, SC’s admitted candidates tend to be active and smart.

I just share what I hear, any other mammies in the picture are welcome to share more.
