I also heard rumors that the principal is not satisfied with the students chosen last year by her colleague so that she is back to interviewing process herself. wonder if that is true but i think definitely in group; otherwise it is almost impossible for her to screen so many candidate. Is DGJS like SPCC which says they are going to interview all applicants? On DGJS form it says "applicants who is required to attend a meeting will be notified by letter on or before 2010-9-30."
For those who interviewed with DGJS today, pls would you share:
(1) is it with teacher or with headmistress?
(2) how many in a group?
(3) cantonese/ english?
(4) any drawings?
(5) parents have to fill in questionnaire?
(6) from the moment stepped into the school till the end - how long roughly?
(7) what are we (the parent and the kid) expected to do for the 45 mins waiting time?
(1) is it with teacher or with headmistress? ==> Teacher only. I saw Mrs. Dai sitting at the front door.
(2) how many in a group? ==> around 20 girls but not sure if they were further splitted after entering the classroom.
(3) cantonese/ english? ==> both
(4) any drawings? ==> yes
(5) parents have to fill in questionnaire? ==> No
(6) from the moment stepped into the school till the end - how long roughly? ==> 1.5 hr for me.
(7) what are we (the parent and the kid) expected to do for the 45 mins waiting time? ==> nothing. My kid and me first asked to go to a classroom after registration. About 20 min later, my kid went off with other girls. Another few minutes later, the parents were asked to go to the hall to watch video while waiting.
i went to this afternoon. i only see one parent accompany with the girl. And we were together waiting in a room for 20mins before the girl go out for interview. Then the parent will go to the hall and watch video. Mine : arrival time is 2:35pm and i left by 4:00.
hope it helps
NO, only 1 parent can go into the school with your girl, strictly enforced. So many teachers/helpers stand in the front entrance and pointing out "1 parent only please."
