我個小朋友星期六都有去 interview，我都好想知佢地收生有咩準則，我都覺得佢地 in 得比較求其，我估佢地其實已經內定左收生.....

不能證實的.....SKH聽講面試係早有目標, 見得求其, 機會會微, 兩套面試程序唔同o架

Like branson_mom, my kid ( Sept born ) was admitted into th AM class last year; it is a little surprise because she was asked just one questions about the parent's names; I know the teacher(s) were monitoring all the interviewees, we just let her play and return the toys to its original places, my daughter relocated the chair she sitted into its original place may impress the teachers.
There are some background families in SKH, very rich and very famous, most of the others are middle class. My kid likes SHK very much.
Hint is the kid need to do something/say something to impress the interviewer, just like a job interview!

講中哂我嘅睇法.  只不過對interview"過程"的所見所聞所感講出來吧. I think before any person have any comments to the others, she/he should read the topic starting from page 1 when there is no end result yet (actually this topic is created for exchanging views on the interview process).  A lot of parents are only expressing their views on the interview PROCESS, it's NOT the END RESULT that upset/matter the parents.  Maybe Sunnygirl have not experienced the feeling of "being totally" ignored or being treated in disrespect way (in some of the cases) in the SKH interview process, that's why you did not know what we are talking about, but what we observed and heard are 100% factual.  And, most of the views are posted after the interview but well before the end result.

     

..... 當中過程好多家長都知或者已經post左出來, 如果你還覺得他們係說晦氣說話, 我打個簡單比喻比你, 等如而家個仔去會考, 入左個試場, 考官只係叫佢坐低, 試卷都唔派比佢, 叫佢睇住其他考生做, 結果, 卷都未見過就當有考過出番來, 就當然係 fail 啦, 而呢個考生永遠都唔知自己有咩野係唔識...

其實每件事都可以有唔同的觀點與角度去看的. 上一年我都覺得個interview 好求其, 唔明她們的收生標準, 總知大家所發表的negative comments 我都認同過, 也有諗過收左都未必去, 但我實在住得好近, 所以佢真的收了我仔後我都係入左. 後來同校長談話也有提過關於 interview 的問題. 其實老師們真的有從旁observe的, 沒有走過來說話, 但時實上都有細心觀察. 我還記得當時有一位老師剛給另一位家長叫住了, 之後一轉身突然問我 "eee 係唔係佢砌架" 那是我小朋友剛疊高了一些大積木. 之後我覺得老師有留意我和阿仔的溝通的.  anyway, 讀了數個月, 我最appreciate 還真的是她們的細心和非常強的觀察力. 其他不多說了, 只是自己也引證了一些睇法.  事實上學位有限, 更好表現還真的要點運呢.

today I just go to SKH for registration. I find that the candidate no. of the accepted students are from 1x, to 11xx.  It is very evenly-distributed. So, It proved that even your interview time is in the afternoon, the chance is the same as in the morining.  offcourse, the condition of kids is much better in the morning!

我都相信老師們真的有從旁觀察的，因為起初老師問完囝囝幾條問題就轉頭走開左，我同我先生都覺得好似被忽視咁，不過我地抱住平常心去in所以倒無咩所謂，後來囝囝走去第二檯同另一個小朋友玩車仔，老師立即走過來讚囝囝合群，我當時都有些少愕然，心諗：你有留意我囝囝既咩？有幸地囝囝被取錄為下午班正取生，我估都係因為呢點。

We enjoy sharing experience.

Having read many replies from the parents with kids interviewed at SHK, some of them were disappointed with the experience gained from the interview. Parents would consider different perspectives upon choosing the "right" school for their kids. However, it seems that some of them were quite emotional in expressing their observation from the interview. A short interview would not of course provide an in-depth examination of the interviewees. This equally applies to the parents towards the observation of the school.

Parents are eager to have their kids studying in the "right" and "best" school. However, during the course of the competition, we should behave with an impartial manner, demonstrate a correct concept of value in front of our kids. Keen competition is because of limited resources in the field of education. Try the best is the motto of the parents as well as their kids.

My daughter is also studying in SKH. We are very happy with the school life as well as the campus. It's not easy to find a school with such as a big playground in the urban area. While I might be accused of conflcit of interest in "selling" the school, there seems no such initiative for me to do any favour for the school.

    

I totally agree with you.  My sister's daughter is now studying in SKH (K3).  She is so happy to study in, and she likes the teachers a lot.  And I do think that she does learn a lot from her school life, so my sister does highly appreciated.

首先,恭喜所有考到skh的小朋友

今年我仔仔都有去考skh, 表現都ok, 房內4位小朋友, 佢以經同老師講最多野, 但都fail, 收到信時都有少少唔開心 (因為我不嬲都冇抽獎命, 可惜連仔仔都冇 ).  其實我拿表時都以經預料skh的大牌(因為名校)及面試時的情況, (1000多人收120人, 包括幾十個人情位---所有學校及機構的現實), 但自己心甘情願博一博, 所以都不會對學校有任何埋怨.  只是要令大肚的太太辛苦2日, 心裡有些歉意  

但有些家長的價值觀令我有些感慨, 其實他們申請時都應該收到風預料到, 尤其派表時可見學校的作風, 如果不喜歡學校作風, 可以不拿表申請.  (我拿表時見到有些家長一見到人龍就掉頭走).  後來見有些家長很勞氣, 埋怨學校安排不周, 比較spc較有人情味, 不再考慮skh等.....

result 出後有些當初埋怨的家長又轉變態度, concern pm class可否轉am, waiting list 有冇機.

其實仔女可否入好學校, 每個家長都concern, 但我認為家長的價值觀對仔女的影響更大, 家長的身教非常重要.  當我們埋怨香港政府及教育不好時, 有否反思自己作為家長的價值觀呢?

就我自己而言, 我認為最重要是盡了力(自己教好仔女), 其他就隨上天安排(學校收唔收), 不要太在意結果, 仔女仲有漫漫長路, 不要令自己及仔女添加壓力

Totally agree!!

SKH話如果有位的話, 聽日(11月23日)會打電話通知, 我唸機會都應該好微0架啦呵? (相信絕大部分媽咪係咪都會交0左留位費先..)  

有無d過來人可以講下你地0既經驗，通常會幾時先有位俾waiting list 上0既小朋友? 又係咪通常上午班少d人放棄，下午班會多d呢..(即係下午班waiting機會大過上午班waiting?)同埋若然上午班有位，係咪通常都會先俾一d下午班要求轉上午班0既小朋友，然收先至係waiting list 0既小朋友呢?

如果聽日有家長收到電話，記得上來通知大家一聲呀!

Dear Keilocl,

My girl is on waiting list (am) also.  But I think most of the parents would paid fees for keeping the place first.   Are you (your child) on the waiting list too?  I think we should wait until July next year.  Because at that time everyone have to pay the school fee for the first month.  

My girl is currently studying in Lingnan. The evironment and the teachers are very good.  She is very happy to go to school everyday.  But it's far away from our home, so..........

Hi Cecilia,

Yes, my boy is on the waiting list of SKH (am). Actually he has been accepted by St Paul's Church (am) and I and my husband do love that school too.

I like both SKH and SPC but if SKH only offers me with the PM class next year, I will take up SPC for sure. Then I will be able to arrange some interest classes (for real enjoyment of my boy but not for adding value which helps to enter a good primary school) in the afternoon for my boy.

I live in Kennedy Town and my boy is now attending playgroup in the Woodland. I will let him continue till Aug/Sep next year.

branson_mom

yes, Branson is admitted to PM class too.....

CeciliaKwok

Hello Keilocl,

My girl attended Woodland's playgroup for one year until last month.  Because she is big enough to join the Stepping-stone, but due to the time crash.....Now she's attending the other english class in Universal Trade Centre in Caine Road.

I called SKH today.  But they told me that all am students were registered, so there are no more space for the waiting listed babies.  There are 3 pm available, but just for the pm waiting list babies.

I missed SPC.  But I heard that SPC is also a good kindergarten.  
Anyway, you still have time, just wait until next July or August.  Maybe it will be a good news?!

Good luck, both of us!!!

記得有人提過已收am class, 仲話唔讀, 又話唔喜歡學校氣氛, 咁又點解又會 ” they told me that all am students were registered, so there are no more space for the waiting listed babies”
