Dear beaclem,

Thank you very much for your sharing!

Do you know if all the interviews are on Saturday?

For the 1st interview (if it is a weekday), is it ok if just one parent present?

:ad ...

唔係星期六interview架, 通常係閒日, 咁我都見過first interview剩係父或母出席

Thank you very much, abc mami!

I also heard that those who have relationship with the school will be interviewed first.  Is it correct?

咁就真係唔清楚, 不過, 我係無關係個種, 都好似係較後interview, 不過各位真係放心, 每位applicant都一定有first interview既機會, 人人有份

LaLa

CHTmami,
If I remember correctly.  His mom submitted the form on 11/9 (the day of parents' briefing), i.e. not too early.

As I know that this primary school will move to Wong Chuk Hang next academic year. Does anyone know anything about the school bus arrangement. I live in Tseung Kwan O, it will be a long way if there is no school bus.

Prema

I heard that the first group who got interview should be some how related to the school. The 2nd group are those with same religion but not related. The 3rd group are those with no background will be interview at later stage.

This is what I have heard before. Anyone can prove or disapprove this?

abc媽咪

Relax.  There are 媬姆車.  (They stress they are not school bus.)  There are current students who live in Tseung Kwan O.   What you need to worry will be the long travelling hour!

Dear abc媽咪,
Do you know how long does it need to take? My daughter needs to take the school bus to her Kindergarten 1hr 20mins before the official school hour now because she is the second to get on the school bus. I'm glad to have some information  on this matter. Thanks very much!

Hi beaclem and abcmami,

Are your children in P1 or higher grade? Do they like the school so far? Every parent knows that St. Paul's Co-ed is an outstanding primary school and difficult to get in. Is it  very demanding? Do your children have time to play? Are there a lot of homework and tests?

My boy is quite smart but very active and care free. I'm not sure if this school is suitable for him or vice versa. What do you think of it so far?

abcmami,

How's little c lately? Has her speech improved?

According to my case, My first child is studying another girl's school; I and my husband are not the alumini and with different religions, I think I have been interviewed later, approx after mid-autumn festival............

However, you may ask those who have got an interview. According to the information provided by another link, the school seems to be interviewed those with relationship and religions.

Dear bbone,

My second child is studying P.1 this year. According to him, he likes his school life very much. Most of his school work can be finished at school, numerous activities (around 70 kinds, the headmistress said) can be joined twice every week, within school hours. Musical classes and extra-curricular activities can be joined also (need $ but the fee is o.k.)

Comparing with my daughter's school, I think the teaching method of the school is more systematic. They use creative ways to teach the child. I think most of the children feel happy but difficult concepts and words can be taught through those effectively methods.

Competitions are keen. Last year, 1900 applicants with only 120 places.

Dear Beaclem,

Thanks for your reply. So I heard competition is keen. Your child has to be a smart one.

I have some idea of how the first interview goes. What about the second one? What kind of questions do they ask the parents? I'm afraid my child gets through the 1st interview and we screw up the second one .

For the second one, the headmistress will interview both  parents and the kid. I think both father and mother should attend the interview to show your eagerness of the child. The headmistress will talk most of the times. The first thing she ask will be whether you intend to give up the space if they offer you, especially for those who live in Kowloon. Therefore, you should show your support to her.

The headmistress is really a good lady. She always smiles and present her education view to you. I think you should identify with her view.

bbone

Dear Beaclem,

Thanks a lot for your info. So I suppose we should not talk too much during the interview but listen more?

What other questions will the principal ask? Grateful if you could elaborate.
