For last year's SSCPS 2nd interview, for each session there were 5 groups of parents+kid, inteviewed by the principal and 2 vice principals. They raised certain scenarios eg. kids fighting on school bus, and asked the parents to express their opinions and comments. Both parents were expected to attend with their child. During this whole time the kid just sat there, no need to speak. It lasted for about 20 min, quite short.
Our 1st interview was on 13 Oct.
Yes, the school said only the child has the 2nd interview will receive letter in this batch. However, all the candidates will receive letter in Dec.
