想請教入到一線小學的家長們, 有無參加面試班呀?

同意Kunba, 參加面試班可以令我知仔仔的弱項，好多學校都考常識，如一年幾季，每季有咩特點。又或香港有咩交通工具只有港島區先有。過去一年自己都花了很多時間去帶他看看週圍亊物或看書本使他多認識常識。千萬不要誤會上面試班一定考入。
再者，冇話邊間係一線小學，間間都各有特色及多人競爭。所以最重要係睇下小朋友性格，了解你想考的學校理念是否配合小朋友，其次訓練下他。所謂訓練不是背答案，而是帶他認識周圍事物再在日常生活中運用下。如學了加減數再教他數錢（$10元以內），KTS/APS 都考過.

Any recommendation of centre for interview classes?

Kunba

Interview skill is not some very specialty which I think parents should be responsible to train their kids instead of throwing to the institutions. Thru your personal training, you will have a chance to understand more of your kids' strength, weakness and character, in order to focus the areas to improve. The whole process, though to try to achieve in getting to a wanted school, also a chance to get to know about your kids. Don't outsource everything!

Totally agree with  purplemummy.  I felt that the accpetance of the school depends on the character of the child.  My son attended the interview class for few months and he interviewed with 8 schools.  He is only accepted by WKF and DBS.  He was rejected by APS, KTS , YW and on waiting of St Paul Boy.   
But I think that the interview class is useful for him to get some idea of the interview skills and more confident in face of the Principal / teachers.   At the same time,  We also spent time to train / teach him the common knowledge.  

P.S  APS / KTS / YW are more focus on the acadamic.  My son is active style.  So,  I thought the character is more situable DBS / WKF.

I think if your question is whether the interview classes alone will get your kid into one of the top-notch local schools, then I agree with others that it will not.

But if you want to know whether interview classes will help, then my experience is yes, it will help.  When my girl was going through it, they did not really teach them model answers, but rather HOW to answer a question properly.  For example, if the principal asks a question but the kid does not know the answer, then how the kid should reply and not just say "I don't know".  

So I think if money and schedule permit, then no harm to include it as one of the outside-of-school classes.

Depend the character of the child, for my girl it is useful and she got 6 offers ~ CKY, KTS, Piu Kiu, Tak Nga, 礼賢 及聖母. 2 waiting~ WKF, GH and only 1 reject by DGS. My bubby and me are quite satisfied with the result. We do agree that the 3-sides cooperation is very important i.e. aids from tutors of interview class, parents' inputs and the critical person - our child - own initiative.

Which are 1st line elite schools in your mind?  If you specify the so-called first line elite school ...

My child got offers from APS, Logos, Evangel..... and I think interview class has onlly some help.  More important is parents' guidance, support and coaching of the child.

I think the interview class is useful, my children have take the interview class, have offer from CKY, SFA and APS. The interview class make the children learn the style of each school's interview and familar before the real interview. Then they can handle it and not afraid of it.

首先咩學校屬於一線小學?
我諗要由你所認為係一線小學學生o既家長先答到你, 如果唔係你所認為係一線小學學生o既家長答你的話我相信你可能會唔相信o羅...

身邊入到一線名校嘅小朋友又冇乜邊個有讀面試班

Which schools group into 1st line ?  

A-Mum

我識一個，每次見 uncles, aunties 就要練一次 "介紹自己"，有次某 uncle 大整古，係佢講到一半時問問題，阿小朋友好怨恨地啤阿 uncle 一眼，跟住… 從頭再背過！

我小朋友有讀面試班，覺得讀唔讀都冇所謂，又係覺得經濟上ok既可照報讀，當係學多少少野。

我小朋友有讀面試班，個人覺得幫助不大，只能當錦上添花。

我都想知呀!!!
我都係今年考小學既家長

以我自己既感覺, 面試班會有其用處, 不過好似樓上咁講, 又未必真係咁大有用
如果 afford 得起既, 就讀吓, 當一個興趣班咁上
