SFA gave written test for the kids on interview day, please discuss

BBR

無報這間,我報左7,8間左右,重有兩間就in完,不過預左唔收,因為佢係細女,有D怕羞,等個女小1拎張成績表叩門,因為佢D成績都ok,前3名應該無問題

我唔鐘意SPA學校同出面的環境,我諗收都唔會比佢讀,因為之前老公攪學校D野,所以我唔知,個日去到我不喜歡

If it is a good school, don't worry about the environment, as I believe most of the parents will let their children take the school bus, if so, there's nothing to do with it....

我第一round冇揀協恩呀, 因為得15分, 實冇機啦

我本來都覺得聖芳濟各係女拔後first choice.但果日in完kts, 又覺得kts都吾差喎, 佢公佈2008年派位都幾好. (當然冇sfa咁好啦), 但如果亞囡在kts考前10名, 派番協恩或女拔都應該ok
不過kts貴過sfa成1萬蚊1年...但學校環境又靚好多 ..唉.. 收左再唸啦!!

I haven't applied this school for my child (simply because I coudn't bear too many).

But I have no odd feeling about the interview format of this school,

--this is a private school, not a gov't subsided school, it can have its own preference; for me, the Edu Dept. can only advise, not order the school

--as from the others sharing, this is not a written test, in my opinion; even everyday homework in most K3 requires more than writing ABC

--This school's syllabus is a bit more difficult than average, as comment by many; the questions asked in the interview suit its style and requirment; more difficult questions immediately help the school screen out its target group;  different formats of interview will screen out different candidates; the school is only looking for its desired candidates; nothing wrong

Dear all,

Please advise if Putonghua was asked during the interview.  My daughter said no but I wonder if it is true.

My son told me that he used Putonghua to read some words.

Hello all moms.

let me share the experience as my daughter is studying in this SFA also.

From the first day of applying this school, you should know that they are above the average of other schools as it is a private school and most of the girls and boys can get a good secondary school after P6.

I can say they are really harsh and if you are studying in those enjoyable kinder, you may find difficult when you first enter the P1.

lots of exam and test and dict and also they are teaching very fast.

but if you can workout for the first year, then P2 will be better because you have already adapt to it.
there is some students fail to go to P2 so u better make sure yr kids pass in eng, chi and maths.

but if you fail in the first round, they allow you to join the second round after the announcement of lucky draw, but u didn't join the first interview, they won't consider u after the lucky draw.

so if i were u , even fail in first round, please send letter to them after the lucky draw if u still want to get the seat in this school, they will consider u if your kids academic result is good and also have some awards in any activities.

good luck to all of you and I trust you will satisfy with this school if your kid study here. (but of course u will have alot of complains on the heavy workload too)

Hi Bau,
Thanks for your information.
Can you also share how's the conduct of students and how are the teachers in SFA?  Some parents said SFA focus too much on study therefore conduct of students are not very good.

Hi, Bau,

多謝你詳細嘅解釋.  雖然未知囝囝能否考入這所學校, 但係我都想知道學校內的老師是怎樣的? 是否有愛心? 學校同家長嘅溝通? 學校的透明度? 而其他學生的品行? 禮貌?

Hello, Bau, thank you for your sharing. You said if candidates failed in the first round of SFA's entrance exam, they could send letter to SFA after the lucky draw to request for another chance. Do you mean the lucky draw in June or the 第一輪自行派位in November? And does SFA prefer 大仔/女? If yes, I think my son's chance is low as he is 細仔:(

Hi all,

Just call to SFA, she said you will received the acceptance letter on or before 14 Nov (no letter means failure).
