Just been to Goodhope for interview

Gooddaddy

We arrived 15mins earlier than the scheduled time and found that there were lots of people waiting outside. Some men dressed up like a groom while others put on dark suits like a real estate salesman.  Felt sorry for these guys as they could'nt do much help apart from just waiting for their wife and daughter to come out.

Anyway, my wife told me that she saw some dads in the interview hall seeking help over the phone from their wife to answer the written questions.  One of them actually took the answer sheet out of the hall and then wrote the answers after consulting the views from wife at the main entrance.  Could you believe that?!  Some mums took out their parenting textbook to answer the 3 written questions.  Just like a open book exam.  

After waiting for one hour in cold/hot sweat, I was so happy to see my wife and daughter came out with a cheerful smile on their face.  It seems the interview was as easy as pie.  My daughter told me she did very well (I hope she meant what she said). Let's keep our fingers/legs crossed.  Good luck to all parents and girls.  You might need them.


ut out more sweat than they were on duty. Phew...

Just being curious, what kind of questions that you need to answer?

I am an old girls in secondary section, I can tell you that it is a very good school. If I have a daughter, I will definitely to put her into this school. If you want any information, please let me know.

Gooddaddy

I hear that the hall was packed with people. Kids had to stand up to answer questions.

My daughter also told me that all questions were very simple.  Just draw a picture and answer a few questions. e.g. which animal do you like the most and why?   On the other hand, I think it was also given the exam to parent to write down the essay immediately within 20mins.

I think this round is only for testing the parent in order to know the mindset of teaching the children.  Good Luck.

Hi Nsachung
Would you mind telling me more about this school?  How good of it? E.g teacher.  Thanks.

So after the first round interview, is it true that we either get accepted or put on waiting list. I hear that the school prefers not to decline offer to applicants at the first stage but rather put all of them on waiting list, it's like giving you a false hope.

They would like to see if you're really want to put your sweetie to Good Hope or not.
After the "lucky draw", you may apply again if you're on waiting list.

Hi,

I don't think we need 2nd interview.  Anyone know that when we can receive the result please?

So there will be 1000+ girls on the waiting list?  Sounds like they are giving false hope to the parents.
