新加坡國際學校？？

August2005

Hi, all SIS moms,

I like SIS very much and wish that my girl can get into its PY1 the next academic year.  May I have your sharing about how the admission interview will be conducted?  Will the parents be interviewed as well?

My girl is all along being taken care by her grandma, so she speaks Cantonese mainly and is not that proficient in English/Mandarin.  Does it imply that she will not be able to pass the interview and get admitted?       If it is so, I'd better save that $1000 registration fee   :cry:  :cry:  :cry:  Is there any successful case with similar background?

Please share.  Many thanks.

florence,

見到妳的分享, 又令我想起5年前, 記得大女初初返學,我都會跟校車送佢去, 然後睇佢合班唱歌,又見到佢第一次主動舉手站出來在同學面前唱歌, 真的很感動, 佢又很喜歡在巴士上唱歌, 對於一個講國語唔正的媽媽來講, 真是很好聽, 有一些歌我現在還記得:客人來,找爸爸, 爸爸不在家, 我請客人先坐下, 再進一杯茶...還有一件事, 黃老師為了女女學國語快d, 將d國語歌錄左在一盒錄音帶送比我個女, 佢日聽夜聽, 很快就識唱很多歌了....不過有`件事很好笑, 音樂老師林老師是香港兒童合唱團中學部的老師,佢比張form叫我們報名,最後都無收我個女,原因可能我叫佢用國語唱蝴蝶:可能別人以為佢唔識廣東話...不過唔收都唔緊要啦, 學校的合唱團都是林老師負責,前兩年拿得全港小學組比賽冠軍仲有機會去星馬表演,我個女今年都參加了合唱團和中國舞, 是了, 依家興gym,妳有沒有比個女參加呀?

妳個女都很叻, 咁快就 識寫字, 我記得好似差不多日日都有中文功課架,英文和數學是worksheet,通常要動動腦筋,識做很快做完, 不過我仲記得py1有一份英文worksheet有成30多樣東西,要找出是L字頭的, 真考起....

妳真很勤力,我個時都很少買d扶助器材,只知道叫佢睇多d英文書,因自己是香港人,知道佢d英文和其他同學的距離會越來越遠,去到三年班已睇到分別,別人是native,家人都是說英文,去到三年班, 基本上所有東西都可以以英文說出, 而我個女,是靠在學校,同學那裡學到,而最大的原因, 佢係用中文思考,當佢二年班我們問佢第一時間佢個腦是想起中文定英文, 佢的答案是中文,我們便知道要努力了,當然, 佢d中文會輕鬆很多...

唔知點解我個女沒有拿校服回家? 妳有沒有買$300一件雙穿的feeze+風褸呀, 很保暖, 比校褸更受歡迎, 我個女大部分時間分開穿,最凍個幾日就一齊穿...d校服不貴, 我覺得d書仲平, 一年都是hk$900, 已包埋字典,習作部, 年尾派成績表時要取書, 記得叫埋妳先生一同去呀, d書很重架....

見到妳個女讀得開心, 我都很開心, 希望我個細女快d入學啦...

點解唔俾個機會佢試試 ? $1,000 可以換黎一個機會給你個小朋友考驗下佢既能力, 我覺得即使考唔到都唔算係"晒左"錢..........  

我當時係抱住一試既心態幫我個女報名考, 一路都係以"考到咪讀lor"既心態, 最終我個女都順利pass....

我個小朋友平時係賓賓同婆婆湊, 會講簡單既英文, 完全唔識普通話, 不過性格比較唔怕羞, 唔怕陌生人...

考試當日, 係指定到場時間會有幾個family係一間房做完registration之後等候, 房裡有電視睇, 有玩具玩, 等一陣, 會有老師帶1-2個小朋友到隔離間房, 父母則留係房裡等, 大約半個鐘小朋友便會回來, 之後就可以離開....

interview就係0甘簡單, 只要小朋友合作, 唔喊, 同埋係interview時只講之前所選擇左既語言(英文或普通話), 應該唔太難.....

我個女同我講當時都只係玩下玩具, 老師走來用英文同佢講野, 問下問題...等等, 當日我個女開心到唔想走tim.......

hi yyyy,

"客人來,找爸爸, 爸爸不在家, 我請客人先坐下, 再進一杯茶...".......呢隻歌, 我現在每日平均會聽到5次以上....

"依家興gym,妳有沒有比個女參加呀" ....無呀, 佢而家學緊piano & ballet dance...

佢而家都只係一個星期先至有兩份中文及兩份英文功課, 好快就可以做晒......

"妳有沒有買$300一件雙穿的feeze+風褸呀" .....無喎, 等我去kingcow買番件先...

你細女而家幾大 ?

I was told that SIS would have a Fun Fair open to all around January.  I was asked to check her website for this nearer the time.

SIS will have P1, PY1 & PY2 open house on 13/1/2006, 10/3/2006 and 20/1/2006 respectively. The admission test will be held in the week of 27/2/2006.

Last time, my friend who taught in SIS had arranged a short visit to SIS for me and I met with the Principal in her office for half an hour. You may request for a private visit and chat with their staff. At that time, I was very impressed by the discipline of the students. They greeted me in their own accord on the staircase during my visit.

Dear all,

Could you kindly tell me more about the entrance examination of P1 admission? What kind of questions are included in the exam?

Except written exam, is there any interview for the applicants? Will the parents accompany the child during the interview,or parents have to attend another interview ?

Thank you very much!!

Thanks!

florence

Hi yyyy,

我無去呀, 要返工, 而且亞女要學ballet, 你地玩得開心嗎 ? 是否很多家長都參與 ? 亞女同我講, 佢係Friday都已經同miss講左佢saturday唔去喎…

PY2功課係咪真係算多呢 ? 你覺得係咪以活動為主 ? 我暫時都唔擔心既, 如果係要同佢去做research搵資料既話, 都總好過要同佢背書, 默書, 迫佢寫好多好多既字喔…..

請問新加坡國際學校有無kindergarten呀，因我地而家週圍

siupunpun,

隨時都可以取表格, 好似是一月份interview. 妳咁近, 取表前打電話約佢地d職員帶妳參觀下間學校, 等妳了解多多.

sis的幼稚園是由4歲開始, 讀2年, 佢地叫PY1 & PY2.

bbJP,

我個女女是讀完佢地的幼稚園直升, 沒有考過P1的入學試, 所以幫唔到妳, 希望有其他媽咪可以幫到妳啦!

florence,

個日我都要返工, 全家都請假去,是很多人, 成個沙灘都是太陽傘, 但都有很多人沒有去的. 妳個女真叻, 識自己同老師講.

我個女P2時功課就唔多, 平均每日都唔夠一樣, 星期六日就有2-4樣啦!完全沒有功課就很難, 始終中文都要每人寫先得, 我見到個個媽咪個本小冊子都很喜歡, 每頁一個中文字, 字下面就是自己找的圖片, 小朋友就可以因此認識唔同動物或不同人種的眼耳口...

補充一下: 今年既application deadline係2月19日, 而小女就係2月28日去interview的, 你可以打電話去問問下一年入讀PY1既報名deadline係幾時…

florence,

多謝妳的補充.

今日是country culture day, 有沒有為妳的小朋友穿上什麼的國家服裝呀?小女穿了中國服,樓下有個py2的小妹妹穿了日本服...

明天後天是p4的camp, 去碧潭"充", 其中一個節目是去沙灘拾垃圾, 小女問佢又沒有丟垃圾, 為何要拾....

hi yyyy,

尋晚見到張notice, 好彩屋企有件

florence,

最重要的字看不到, 是?袍? 小女個套都是新年衫, 褲腰都是短左d.不過是佢自己揀的.

如果在香港讀, 就一定讀sis的中學啦!見到亞女可以教樓上一樣是讀local P4的朋友仔數學和英文, 而佢地的中文讀本亞女大部份都識讀, 當然程度真是差D, 但不是很大便OK了.見到樓上的小朋友要做很多功課(佢有時會來我家做功課),又成日要評估,測驗,考試...而SIS仲有一好處, 就是可以講流利的英文和國語, 仲可以學埋法文...所以應該會的.
