The two principals will be responsible for the interview, if it is conducted by Principal Lau, Cantonese is okay. If it is conducted by Principal Ip, children should speak in English.

Can any parent share with us whether the 2nd interview for kids would be conducted in English or Cantonese? Thank you for the advice.
Actually, I used English in the questionaire but I was interviewed by the 中國籍主任. I think there is no rules in who do the interview. At the same time, the kid will be interviewed by 2 principals, one is Cantonese-speaking (Principal Lau) and one is English speaking (forgot his last name)
I have just called CKY and ask if they will release some more for 2nd in this week later. They replied that no more for this week as the Principal will not available in the rest of this week. Need to wait for another week la.
I filled in the parent questionaire in Chinese as I really believe that it doesn't count much, as least the language used really doesn't matter. Most CKY parents are cantonese speaking. I chatted with the chinese speaking teacher. She asked me opinion about the school bus and this was the only question.
For me, they are just collecting parents opinion or you can guess they try to see if you are a difficult/picky one. As no sane parent will behave like a difficult one in an interview so I think this part really doesn't count. And I do feel they do not care who answers or who doesn't talk. So for me this is only a chatting part.
My child told me that in the both interviews, only English was used.
May I ask whether the kid will be in group interview or individual interview? Also, kid will be talking to the Principal one by one or together according to your experience?
same questions for every kid, answering one by one.

Dear authenticseelai and parents,
May I ask whether the kid will be in group interview or individual interview? Also, kid will be talking to the Principal one by one or together according to your exp ...
May I remind parents who will attend the 2nd interview during school hours especially in the afternoon, better to bring a portable, battery operated fan (parents and their kids have to sit in the small area just outside the conference room, no air conditioning, no fan, but with a lot of sunshine). If after school hours, they let you wait inside one of the classroom.
Overrun. Had to wait about 45 minutes!! Room is air-conditioned.
3 kids went in together. Son said mainly in Cantonese except when Principal Ip asked one simple question. The questions were mainly around daily life things.
Parents met with teacher in the conference room.
Whole process (excluding waiting time) took about 20 minutes to half hour.
My son also had 1st interview on 18 Oct (afternoon) but our no. didn't show on the school website up to now. My I know which time slot you were on 18 Oct. Thanks.
