My son is also 15 months, but he doesn't know the name of the fruit even I told him many times.
He calls orange and lemon as ball ball.
He can't say bye bye and thank you. He only waves his hand ...

My daughter attended the interview for N1 last year when she was 13 months. The teacher asked her to pick up the apple from a group of fruit and then gave it to her. My daughter could not pick up the apple as it was to heavy for her and she could only roll it to me instead of the teacher. The teacher asked her to point out yellow colour from the book. I think all these are too harsh for such a baby. My daughter eventually waved bye-bye to the teacher and she was accepted for pm class. Therefore, I think no need to be too worry.
However, I have not chosen this school because it's a bit too traditional and the arrangement during the interview was so poor that scared us. We had to wait for more than 1 and a half hours for the interview and the arrangement for waiting was so poor. Fortunately, I chose to interview in English. Some of my friends chose to interview in Cantonese and they had to wait for more than 2 hours. So, please get prepared.
My children both went through similar interviews. I remember they hardly spoke, picked out the wrong fruit. We, parents feel terrible when our children did not act accordingly. Both the children and the interviewer probably don't see it the same way. We always feel they didn't give us a chance to show who our kid really is and how wonderful they are. That's our mother nature. But don't fret over this. I really don't think the interviewers were expecting the children could do what they asked. I think they want to see their reactions and how they interact. My children are happily in KCS for quite a while now.
Yes, they are somewhat traditional comparing to the international schools. Also, the nursery songs they sing are quite boring. (But that's we we think, the kids don't think it's boring, I assure you that.) Most teachers seem very loving, and the kindergarten is a happy place. I am happy that it gave my children a solid foundation on Chinese and Mandarin. It's a best gift that I could ask for.
What bothers me though (especially this year and I think the next few years down the road) is that the class size grew so much bigger than before.

I just finished the interview for local class today, the arrangement is better than I expected. My interview time was 9:30am, I arrived the school at 9:15am, then went to the class room to line up for registration, just wait a little while, around 9:35am, starting to interview, I got my interview done at 9:45am, then let my son play in the playgound for a while and left the school at 10:15am.
But I heard from the teacher that there is another batch for interview in Nov. Yon, maybe you will receive the letter later or better check with school lor.
Thanks for your information.
