今年學校係歷史性第一次有 2nd int，你呢個假設性問題無得答，不如你打電話去學校問o下，問完o係BK分享，仲實際啦。

OH, I thought the school always had 2nd int like many other schools...

Sigh.. with the 2nd int experience I got from other school, I think I'd have to prepare for disappointment (becoz my son was especially naughty when I was present)

我仲等緊呀.... 原來等既過程係咁慢長架(等到1月).

Not sure why the school prolongs the 2nd interview process to as long as the claimed 2 months.  Common sense tells me a task should be completed as soon as possible so that other tasks can be focused on.  There may be other reasons overriding this "common sense", but I doubt if anyone knows this "confidential" reason. :)

I think it is because there may have a lot of people will choose DBS/DGS/SPCC and drop SSCPS offer in late Nov / mid Dec.

Did anyone receive 2nd letter today?

我知道SSCPS校長會好認真選擇2nd interview名單，校務處話一有時間就安排面試，每次不一定見太多人。

有些SSCPS家長話每個2nd interview都好誠懇，旨在給雙方機會彼此了解。我比較喜歡這種形式，至少學校和申請人都可深入一些，有利大家考慮這個選校選生的决定。

校長Agnes WAI在briefing都強調會盡量review申請人的portfolio和school report card，希望可以更全面評估小朋友的能力。如果她真的做得到，我就更加欣賞SSCPS了。

我同意申請SSCPS時實在要有超級耐性，絕對巧驗信心，我都希望SSCPS可以改善這個情況。坦白說，這種面試形式，對SSCPS不利，因為肥水已入別人田。

不過，我都參加過其他interviews，家長和小朋友都只得5至10分鐘時間，太過濫竽充數啊。Interviews後都不知道成功機會有多少。結果，由2nd interview到出結果，又是一個等字，或再加一個估字。SSCPS的等和其他學校的等，不相伯仲。

想深一層，其實家長都有好多不同選擇，此家不成往別家。最壞打算，努力到明年8-9月罷！在12月前收到offer(s)，都不一定是最終决定。畢竟，人望高處，水往低留嘛！最重要清楚哪裡屬於小朋友的高處及家長所能付出的高處條件。

BK家長，繼續努力，不要做阿水呀！

Agreed. I think SSCPS is a good school and the Principal Ms. Wai is very sincere too.

I still do not receive any letter, my daughter's interview on 10/10. Why?

"SPCC offer the 2nd interview chance for ALL "XX Hill" kids" - really, especially for Group 4 candidates (my son is one of them)?  I have heard such a rumour but I don't have a verifiable source to confirm it.

If what you are saying is true, it will seem that SSCPS is positioning itself behind SPCC and DB/GS, so that they want to reduce the number of drop-outs by delaying the announcement of admission results until SPCC and DB/GS finish giving out offers.  (Otherwise, it will be the other way round, i.e. the drop-outs will be from SPCC or DB/GS even if they make offers earlier.)

Using the demand-supply theory, it seems that more parents favour the traditional schools to more innovative schools such as SSCPS.
