10 rooms x 3 teachers @room x 6 sessions per hour x 2 hours (?) =  360 (Purely my wild guess)

Chance is not very high.......

So, how do you know 2 hours?

And anyone interview with the headmaster?

First interview is one day, and second interview is one day, it seems the school finish the whole interview process so quick compare to some other school. (Just personal observation). Is there any reason behind?

I think more than 360 people. My friends just finished at 11:45.  So should be at least 10 rooms *3*10 min *3 hours = 540people at least

MaMaLovU

No, I don't.....just my wild guess.....when I left at around 11:30.....not many candidates entering the school or walking uphill to the school...

I thought the headmaster would interview us....Anyway, this is their first year of 2-stage interview.....

Did you find that some parents did not take the interview very serious.....T-shirt, jeans......

The interview is quick and simple questions.  Just do not how did they evaluate children

Also lots of parents and students are casual wearing sport shoes and T-shirt.

But just wonder if not interview by headmaster for standardization then different teachers have different standards.

If so, why don't just use the old approach and interview both students and parents on one day. Then it can even save more time.

No, this is the final one.

Just wonder the headmaster delegate the whole interview selection process to teachers? Does anyone know this is also the same as the past?

This is the first time they have second interview.

bb@wonderland

Asked the helper there. There are 2 sessions today . Each will be around 2 hours. A short break between 2 sessions. A total of 600 applicants selected for 2nd int.

MaMaLovU

I think they have already picked up the successful candidates before the interview today.
10-min interview can only give the school a snapshot of the parents and the students......

From the teacher's information, there were ~600 children for 2nd interview.

If there are 30 teachers involved in second interview selection process, just wonder how to standardize the marks? Anyone can suggest?

If they have already picked the successful candidates, then can't see the points for picking so many in the second round.

really don't understand their selection criteria.

So far, I am scratching head on their arrangement.

If like Kau Yan that has one interview only (arrrange from teachers) to select students, then I can understand that it saves time.

But if Raimondi plan to use second interview to select student, it can use a panel like DBS or other schools that is interview from headmistress or vice-headmistress. The point is that for final selection, the decision making should be a central body

But today interview seems that there are 30 teachers that is 30 selection body. So I don't really know how the measurement be standardized among all the candidates.

Besides, does any one watch the teachers refer some info to the application form or portfolio during interview. I can't see by the way and so I don't know is the portfolio useful in this case.

when I did my interview, I saw my portfolio was in the file.  But during the interveiw process with the teachers, she did not refer to the portfolio.

Anyone has the same experience as mine ?
