插班入RC

My son is studing P.1 in local school.  He did homework by himself everyday, he did extra worksheet before exam by himself also (because I had no time to do with him).  
His exam result just OK in his class (around 70-80).  I felt he's not so eager to learn (boring in school & no one with him).  So I have an idea to transfer to internation school, because I hope he can learn under happy situation.  Any
comments of RC? Is it hard to enter? Do you think it will
create interest to learn?  see anyone can help..many thks

You may try but I think it's quite difficult as there is always  along queue waiting listl.  I think nowadays, kids from mainstream schools are difficult to enter IS because of their English standard. Requirement for P1 or P2 in IS is not that harsh but quite high for P.3 up.  IF you make up your mind to change to IS, you'd better early than late.

我的小朋友考GRADE 3, 1ST INTERVIEW 做卷, 约45分鐘, 2ND　INTERVIEW面試， 约３０分鐘，大人和小朋友一起見一位ADMISSION OFFICER，講下１ST INTERVIEW份卷做成點，問下篇文他想講甚麼（因為我個仔篇文好明顯未寫完），氣氛好NICE．
阿仔好鍾意這間學校，話上課學好多野，好開心，小息又可以自由去操場，飯堂和圖書館，SO FAR SO GOOD.

你仔仔甚麼時候INTERVIEW ? GOOD LUCK!

My kid is from another IS so he has no difficulties in understanding English.  The officer showed my son the paper he did in the written test and asked him to further explain on his writing. The atmosphere was like "chatting" rather than "testing" on how much he knew.  For parents, we talked about IB curriculum and the role of parents.  We felt very warm and welcomed by the school.  So, no worries.

Is it too late to submit an application for Year 2 for the coming Aug (new school year)? Do they accept late applications? (I wonder) Does the school offer a test after receiving the application fee? (with no place though)

Are there any parents having their children transfer from Shatin Junior School to Renaissance College? Please share experience or comment on the change.

I found this from the official website of RC:

http://www.renaissance.edu.hk/content.php?contentid=98

• Applications for admission to all year levels will continue to be received by the College for August 2008 academic year.
• Tests and interviews for applications received after the 25 February (Secondary) and 30 March (Primary) will be held in late April, 2008 or early May, 2008.
• RCHK Admissions staff will notify applicants if they are to be invited for a test and interview.
• Applicants will be advised of the date and time of the test and interview when contacted by RCHK Admissions staff.

fishfishma, thanks for your information.

My girl took the written assessment yesterday for Year 6.  

1.  My impression is that it is looking for types, needs & profile more than academic excellence.  Am I right?

2.  As RC advises, my girl, born in 1998, should apply year 6.  Yet it turned out that the 1997ers formed the majority.  So am I disadvantaged?

Please advise and thanks

i submit the application for my son for year 2 for 08/09 academic year in late march but it was lost in transit.  i then resubmit the application last saturday and just call on tuesday for assessment on coming monday.  looks like they are quite prepared to entertainment applications.

BTW, anyone can share what the assessment for year 2 is about?  i understand it will be a written assessment and am a little worry because my son is studying in a local kinder which uses activity approach, that means he does very little writingand simple maths only.
