高主教面試

thomasha

今日去了高主教面試，在場其中一位老師說有超過1100人申請。由於肇輝台的路非常狹窄，令附近道路非常擠塞，我們坐的士僅能在指定時間5分鐘前到達，幸好面試遲了35分鐘開始，我們有時間讓他冷靜下來和與他去洗手間。

1 面試老師親自出來到等候室叫我們和小兒一同進去面試室(等候室在面試室旁邊的課室)。
2 老師先問爸爸對學校有甚麼期望，然後問媽媽怎樣安排兒子的時間，特別是學校有一定的功課量。
3 老師請我們離開面試室，小兒繼續面試。
4 根據小兒覆述，問過他的問題有：
(1) 你叫甚麼名字
(2) 你在哪月份出生
(3) 你家的電話號碼
(4) 用普通話說出一至十
5 問題過後，在同一面試室由其他面試老師面試的同學 (合共三人) 一起砌puzzle，然後就走了。

We also applied 8 DSS/Private schools.  I think that is not too much.  She did not resist, and mostly enjoys these interviews, so far.

From the kid's point of view, they are just attending some kind of games....

最辛苦 must be the parents, always.....

亞仔去面試, 從來沒有失落失望的感覺, 覺得係去玩. 我地玩左好多場, 但場場的遊戲都唔同.... 越玩越有趣...

Last year in our school, a boy apply 8 primary schools.  He got unacceptable letters from SPCC, Stephen Stanley, HKUGA, St paul boys. However, he was accepted by DBSPD.  So I am thinking quantity is better than quality in this game!
Don't feel frustrated.  Good parents will get rewards as you said! Add oil.

Quality (of performance in interviews) counts, not quantity (number of schools applied for).  The larger number of schools applied for probably only give us a psychological effect on the likelihood of having a place.

I regret that I only apply for 5!  I prefer to apply more now!!!

Not too many la...considering:

(1) one of my friends applied for 15 schools last year
(2) we don't have any secured place in any schools as my son is an only child, I am not a graduate of any DSS/private schools, and we refused to gain undeserved marks on the discretionary stage (e.g. baptism)

多謝你讚佢, 事實上, 我還不太確定應幫佢走邊種教學模式(活動 or 傳統). 不過, 你講得都好有道理, 適當既壓力係要有.  唯有放鬆 d 面對......

I have already mentioned my son's current results in one of the topics.  I'll let you find out yourself. :D

It would be nice if this question was asked before the interview.

Parents' answers also count in their score, according to the interviewer.

As the questions asked to the children seem quite straight-forward and almost every child played puzzle, I suppose the child's responsiveness and the quality of his/her answers as well as ability to cooperate with peers would be important factors to consider as far as children's performance is concerned.

Just my 2 cents based on my short stay (45 minutes) there and some common sense.

有冇人知佢地收生準則係乜? 好似in得好快, 好簡單咁, in小朋友得個十令分鐘, 可以點衡量收定唔收呢? thx

thomasha

Your child has some very good qualities.  Congratulations for raising such a good child!

Parents need to be the child's primary communication channel when he/she has any grievances or pressure.  We need to create an environment where the child feels secure to share their feelings.  We should not remove all the sources of pressure from the child because sooner or later he/she will have to learn how to handle it.  (Cf. lack of ability to tackle pressure for many teenagers these days.) Some pressure can be a motivation for child, if the parents can guide the child properly.

傳統教學, 功課多, 我問過啲大使, 每班有成35人一班添, 都好competitive吓, 要有心理準備呢

The interviewer mentioned there would be quite considerable homework to do for students of the school.
