Today, My friend told me about the interview in RC last month. They said the staff so loose and not good procedure for identify.Compare with other ESF e.g: kowloon Junior school is differences.
Everyday the staff will be interview at least 30 applicators.So  I'm anxious any seats for interview at RC. They felt this school likes to earn the application fees more.

nicki_416,
May I know your kid to apply which year/Grade class??
Good Luck!

I cannot speak for other parents but I did not find anything wrong with the interview procedure. What did you mean by "not good procedure for identify"? Are you worried that someone would ask another kid to go "請槍" for the interview? Well, I do not think anyone would be that desperate.

How do you know how many children are going for interview on one day? For primary school, they do the interview in groups, and several teachers would be interviewing different groups of children at the same time. For secondary school, the interview is done one by one, for at least 30 min per student. If we are really to take a guess, 30 students per day is not difficult to achieve, but who can be so sure?

I do not believe that if they do not have any more vacancies, they would ask the kids to go for the interveiw. I think the staff are simply too busy. If someone did not suceed in getting a seat, either the kid was not up to the standard, or the kid was simply not lucky (some children really refuse to speak up in front of strangers).

I am sorry if your friend's child failed in the interview. And I am sorry if you still have not heard from the school yet for the interview. I know that this is really very disappointing. But you must understand that they do have many applicants this year. Peter Kenny said yesterday evening that they have received 3000+ applications in total this year. As far as I heard, they are really still interviewing children and more interviews would be done during summer holidays. Yes, it is going to be difficult this year simply because the school is making it more difficult this year. With the 3000+ applications on their hands, they have choices and it is quite natural for the school to try to get the better ones from amongst the applicants. There would surely be more disappointed parents than successful cases. But it is just not fair to say that they school are cheating on the application fees.

As many of parents have told you already, there are many other schools around. Just let go of it and be happy.

Good luck.

"not good procedure for identify"? During the date the staff only asked the parent wrote down the name and no identify any Document!:
Generally, it's not my business! Just hearing it!-)

kakaya，
我地去 RC interview 時，係每個孩子都有一個大大的 name sticker 貼在身上，而在 interview 時，老師應該會再問小朋友的名字，意外將兩個孩子對掉，機會好細。
如果你話係有家長，特意請槍搵另一個孩子去 interview，會唔會誇張 d ？先要搵一個合適年齡的 "槍手"，英文要好，重要夠醒目，明明自己叫 mary，都識講大話，話自己叫 julie，重要熟讀亞 julie 的個人資料。中學的 interview 更難請槍，整個 interview 差不多 30-40 min，我孩子話，由家庭，學校，個人嗜好等都有傾。
唉，點解你到今日都放唔開？
我覺得你真係太轉牛角尖，咁樣真係唔會開心。

I think RC doesn't need to cheat for the application fee as the fee is actually non-refundable.  Once an application is received, the fee will go into the school's account no matter whether there are vacancies or not.

KaKaYa,

I totally agree with:
"我覺得你真係太轉牛角尖，咁樣真係唔會開心。"

It's ridiculous to say that "RC wants to cheat the appl. fee.  Further, I don't think the idenfication procedure is loose, it's quite reasonable.  If u're so picky, international school"S" will disappoint u.

KaKaYa,

I was wondering which document should be presented for the identification purpose.  In Hong Kong, the official document for a kid (let's say aged below 12) is birth certificate and ID card, which do not have any photo, maybe passport is a choice.  If you think bringing a passport along is a solution, you should suggest to RC though IT IS NOT YOUR BUSINESS.  Or you think our world is so bad that some parents would cheat a place in RC by employing other kids for interview?

Dear all,
多謝大家有很多回應，本人和小朋友今天已經去ＲＣ　ｉｎｔｅｒｖｉｅｗ 對於其他朋友說的不好感覺，本人覺得都ｏｋ又不錯！Ｍｒ　ｋｅｎｎｙ還和我們說早晨，其他ｓｔａｆｆ都非常ｎｉｃｅ ．
但比較ＣＡＩＳ學校公眾地方清潔，請問大家此學校比較新，為何外牆很多黑色塵埃？？？？是否這區很大塵埃，如果ＩＮＴＥＲＶＩＥＷ便想搬近學校，請問有沒有提議？
”轉牛角尖”只是以前ａｎｘｉｏｕｓ，但ｉｎｔｅｒｖｉｅｗ後又沒有這焦慮　 哈哈！多謝大家

I have been to the school many times but never really notice the dirt. But, I have never been to CAIS, so cannot say which is cleaner. If you think RC is dirty, then you might consider keeping your seat at CAIS. Your child's school life would not be happy if all she hears from you are all sorts of complaints about the school. On the other hand, you seems to like CAIS a lot. So why not take the offer. I am sure you would be happier at CAIS. Cheers.

KaKaYa 真係一個好有趣的家長。
之前就話孩子讀耀中，後來不滿意學校，就轉去另一間 local 幼稚園 ( 好似係聖羅撒 )，又神奇地有位喎。好喇，讀讀下，而家又話好唔滿意，又要轉校。
話到咁想轉校，但當初又只係申請一間啟新，等了又等都未輪到自己 interview，就急，就開始批評啟新收生程序。
有人建議佢申請埋其他學校，佢先拿拿林去申請 CAIS，印象中，佢話五月申請，結果又神奇地 CAIS 竟然兩個星期內話有位喎。
而家又突然話啟新比佢去 interview，雖然啟新收生程序，面試程序，都比佢批評為差，但係佢都依然去 interview 喎，比著係我，覺得學校咁差，點會去讀？interview 都費事舐時間。
去完 interview，又話學校污蹧。
真係日日新款。
真戥佢孩子慘，即使考到 RC 考到 CAIS 又點，樣樣都話不滿，成日覺得人地呃佢，去到新學校，可能又話不滿，又要轉校，真係玩死小朋友。

Saturn,
我們都覺得主要原因是馬鐵關係，搬往就近住現時言之過早代２星期後才有消息，我想實在太多人參加ｉｎｔｅｒｖｉｅｗ，個個小朋友都不錯很可愛很精靈，所以機會都比較難，希望能成功
其實我常覺得馬鞍山是出明水秀的地方，料不到大塵，不過上學不是問題 （不是很厲重，只是學校的冷氣機位，因日前下雨後，一條條黑暗些塵在牆邊．．．．）
如成事我會上一帶地產問！謝謝 [quote]

agnesllth，
多謝妳的誇獎及留意，我從沒有不滿意 local 幼稚園 ( 好似係聖羅撒 )，在這裹我還要讚揚校長．先生及工作人員，他們無私的教學（全校人和我都很好，不用妳担心），只不過我先生不愛ＬＯＣＡＬ學校怕小朋友填鴨式讀書辛苦 ；我本身喜歡ＬＯＣＡＬ女校，所以嘗試才讓小朋友試試；現在她比較大些我們覺得她很活躍，所以才後期幫她報讀國際學校；難道不是好事嗎？
當中你和很多其他家長都有建議佢申請埋其他學校．．．．，還有些教我ＨＯＬＤ住一間學校，然後最選心目中喜歡一間，你明知我當初又只係申請一間啟新．．．．！ＳＯ　ＷＨＡＴ！！！！
香港人嗎，最緊要轉得快，這校沒有位，便去有機會的學校嗎
”樣樣都話不滿”－－－妳好像重清楚我全家要什麼嗎？？？妳真可愛，妳都很有趣
