澳洲國際學校會收插班生(Preparatory)嗎？

shuboMa

我仔仔而家五歲半，有澳洲國籍，之前一直讀緊local 私幼，其實一直都有打算將來會返澳洲升學，不過，都諗住比去試吓讀local,睇吓佢可唔可以接受香港傳統嘅制度。係過去呢半年裏面佢都好似其他幼稚園生咁去考小學，雖然有幸都有學校嘅offer, 但都唔係我同我先生最心儀，同埋眼見香港小學嘅功課同考試上嘅壓力都好大，經過再三考慮，我哋都希望同小朋友轉去讀國際學校，我同我先生都明白到依家決定轉行國際都一定唔容易，但係就因為正正經歷過過去半年考香港小學嘅壓力，我哋倆都好希望可以有機會幫小朋友喺澳洲國際學校做到插班生.
佢將會試Preparatory，唔知有用家可以分享經驗嗎？

Yes it’s true...but my boy is so shy when he’s in a strange environment

Did he apply? How did he go?

At least English is up to their standard for sure

I have a feeling that in general if the kid is willing to participate during their play session, and he/she can understand their commands, not speaking natively may not be the biggest issue.  My child speaks a lot, with mistakes of coz, but I think the fact that he is not afraid to talk helps.

It’s really privilege for Aussie

Don't think that's because we are Oz, we know someone who couldn't get in even though he's also an Oz passport holder

Do you have Aussie passport? They guaranteed you a seat when you chose to start in prep?

Yes we are Oz passport holders and yes they guaranteed the spot when we changed to prep and of coz that's after we have paid the $10k deposit

Did you need to take interview again  when you gave up reception but preferred starting in prep?

No not at all, they told me reception only has two classes, and prep year has 4, probably because most people start from reception year so at the time they would have spots available in prep year, so they just put us in that year without having to do another round of interview.

Hello, so AISHK gave you an offer in 2018, but you requested to start in 2019?

Yes because we were already going to a very good Kindy, while reception of AISHK seems to be more like a childcare centre only, and prep year is the first year of their primary section, hence we chose to stay where we were and only go in to their prep year this year

Recently my girl got an prep offer with interview, there was 3 kids (including my girl) to conduct interview that day, I saw one of the boy and my girl got offer (i am not sure the other boy has offer or not, maybe just too many kids and I didnt recognize the kid's face )Later on my friend's girls got reception offer without any interview. So really difficult to know when will be the interview conducted.

She had an interview for reception few years ago and didnt get an offer. So we went on with local school. She didnt have another interview before getting into prep.

I arranged english tuition at home (mainly for conversational English) and building up confidence in interim period.

I tried to call the school and make an appointment to submit the forms, however, they are now closed due to Christmas, but I will call again tomorrow..

May I asked did your daughter have an interview to received an offer?

One of the problem is my son can understand English, but he cannot speak fluently like a native English speaker.. I am worry he will fail even he get a chance to have an interview.
