All meeting are done before they sent out the acceptance letter.

The purpose of the meeting with the Director of Community Relations, Catherine Han, is about the Hang Zhou centre.  All new students admitted from 2012 are mandatory to go to Hangzhou in year 10. Catherine will tell you a lot about the Hangzhou centre.  She has to make sure all perspectives parents are well informed. It is not an interview and the parents' performance will not affect your kids result. Don't worry!

Dear Wenwen,

Were you invited to meet with the director of community relation before you got the acceptance letter? Do you think it is just an informal interview or the performance of parents does count to the final result?

thanks in advance

Luckyveronique, if your child does well in 2014 interview, the school might ask you to reapply for 2015 reception.  But of course, this will be at the school discretion.
Babybaby2011, April boy is ok, not too small.

Big kids ~ not born in Jan to Jun?  sorry, im a new mom n dont understand much ~

CIS cut off date is Aug 31. Not Dec 31. All 2012-2013 Reception kids were born between Sept 2007 to Aug 2008. Although the official date is Aug 31. They seldom admit kids who were born in July and Aug.  Those kids will be asked to reapply next year if they performed really well in the interview.   which year and month your kid was born?

Both of my boys went to Victoria from play group  to kinder.  The most important thing CIS will look at is the fluency in mother tongue ( it doesn't matter whether it is Cantonese, Mandarin or English).  And the kids must be very outspoken.  

CIS has a very unique mix of students.  Half boys and half girls, half English speaking and Chinese (cantonese or mandarin) speaking , half active and half quite.

I applied since year 1. But he didn't even have a chance to interview.  We have waited for three years. After my younger one was accepted this year to Reception, my older boy has siblings priority, that's why he got an interview.

So it's better to apply in Reception or Year 7, if not the chance is slim.
