HK Pre-school Interview

elaineson@edu

Hi daudau or other mamis,

I have applied for 2009-2010 2-yr old class (playgroup).  They are going to held the interview soon.  Would you share with me about the interview when your son enrolled it last year?  I know that it is very competitive this year for applying in other kindergartens.  Thanks.

The birth rate was high and therefore there is a keen competition this year.
The interview is very simple. A teacher will talk with you and your child. May ask your child the name, the age, show some pictures and ask what they are...
I think the most important thing is that the child should communicate with the teacher. No need to have the abilty to speak a lot but should interact with the teacher.

if your kid is applying for playgroup (for 2 years old), the teacher do not expect your kid to 'answer' the question verbally. but the child should understand the questions and give responses.

I remembered that the teacher asked my son:

1. who is sitting beside you? (my son answered 'mummy')
2. give a jaw-saw to finish (just match the animals to correct position)
3. where is your month, eyes, ears and nose
4. showed my son two pictures and asked which one is dog

Then ask me the following questions:
1. who take care of my son
2. what does my son play at home

If you apply for international class, the interview will be conducted in English.

hope these help.

Loky10,

No worry, as I said, the teacher doesn't expect bb to answer verbally. but bb should give response to teacher. my bb was born in April 06, so he was around 1.5 years old when having interview last year. he also didn't speak at all at the interview ah.

don't give yourself and bb so much pressure. i think if you bb is willing to sit in front of the stranger (ie, the teacher) and play with her would be OK la.
