wow...I understood how come the english standard in DGJS/DGS so high, the majority of their "P1-to be" already has P2-P3 english level! My son is long way behind, he dosen't like reading, he loves listen story like a toddler...my goodness! I think I have to work 200% hard with him! Thanks for TYYC, williskg and janeba's sharing!

Hi williskg and janeba,

In the coming 12 years, our girls will probably become lifelong friends. It's amazing that we could meet up here.

We also look forward to the P1 parents' meeting on the 7th Feb and the "分班試" that comes shortly.

To other parents,

I strongly believe that there is NO universal formula to nourish your kids. My girl's meat is your daughter's poison. Every kid is unique, has individual talents and develops at his/her own pace.

We didn't join any commercial  / certificate courses simply because we didn't believe those could truly understand the needs of my daughter. Logistically-wise, we have also difficulties to arrange them during office hours. Strategically, prepare interviews all by ourselves mean we could tailor-made and keep track the progress. Which areas could go further? Which areas deserve reinforcement? Everything is more controllable under our hands than pre-set modules offered by the courses. A more relaxed timetable also provides more rest and refreshing, both mentally and physically.

Moreover, thousands of certificates of the same kind floating during the admission game make them useless or even look stupid if some of the holders are just performing mediocre, it is the first sad truth.

Honestly, the competition is far keener than expected. Prepare as much as possible. P1 interviews are not testing your kids at K3 level. They are selecting "suitable" kids with P1 level questions. A K3 kid can answer P1 level questions unambiguously smart and confidently is another level to achieve. This is the second sad truth.

The top 16.6% clever boys and girls could be easily distinguished from the peers as "叻仔叻囡". However, the numbers of seats available in those 1st tier schools are so scarce. 3000 applications fighting for around 150 seats is something common nowadays. You can do the math. Parents usually overestimate own kids and underrate others. This is the third sad truth.

I think I've talked so much, just my 2 cents and may the best of luck be always with you !

To williskg and TYYC, 
We have similar P1 interview results here. Though not sure what level our daughter is in, she loves reading classic novels and writes essay by her own from 4. She loves visiting library and museums too -- she "studies" the exhibitions piece by piece and listens to our explanations in a museum for almost 6 hours until we really "pull" her to leave. Same.... No acamdemic award or music certification,  I believe that make her feel less pressure while learning. I feel very fortunate that she can learn with your talented daughters in the coming 12 years! See you in Feb.

we have similar family background and teaching method. We have not prepare for the interview: but television is not allowed at normal days except 1 hour on sat and sunday. My daughter is a " book worm". The most important program on sunday is library section. Her english standard is about P3 as she is in english tutorial with p3 and 4 girls. We let her go to tutorial because I do not have the ability to teach her english anymore, especially the pronouciation.

My daughter has similar character as yours. see you at DGJS.

不过呢个最高嘅出生率，多得班蝗蟲所賜！卑哀！

今年都有許多家長為子女報考小學達"雙位"數,隨着兒童的出生率多咗,往後幾年或會更加激烈,加油!

"Presentable" is the key, I guess. When my son met w/SPCC's principal, he's scared & couldn't say much. My hope was that if he could get in SPCC, then his younger sister would have a higher chance to get in too. Now it's a mere delusion. I wonder if I should knock its door in Jun or try insertion next year.

Hi TheWiseMom,

Agree your point.
For my case, after joining some school's activities like ocean park visit and charity walk at Peak, I observed that, basically, all (or most) of my son's classmates are talkative (with proactive mindset) and presentable (quite like my son's character) even through I know some classmates are not good in academic side. In this respect, I truly believed that school's selection criteria will not focus highly on academic achievement...  

TheWiseMom

Hi TYYC & Joechengck,

Thanks for your sharing! Although my son is good at languages & math, he couldn't perform during interviews cos he's passive & shy. In the above, some mention that their active & talkative children could get in their desirable schools, some couldn't. Then it all depends on our children's destinies.
