hI Lawflorence,
Teachers seems do not like parents assist too much during the interviews. ==> 絕對正確!
所以我話: 最緊要家長盡量不提示, 答錯等老師糾正.
其實老師在面試時真的很有耐性, 小女都是很shy. 老師問佢眼睛在哪裡, 她不肯答, 老師等了一陣引導佢問, "咁妳媽媽嘅眼睛呢?" 小女才答. 老師個樣都好嚴肅, 但其實真係好細心.
女兒每天都問什麼時間上學, 你話佢鐘唔鐘意呢?
難度方面, K3有中文造句. 況且他們英文出名得, 應該ok啩.

Hi 0604mama,

Thanks for your sharing!
Does your daughter like studying at st.cat?
Do u think the curriculum is difficult enough for good preparation to traditional P1.

RoxaneMama

姬絲蒂 : k1 total會收約600多人, 分上下午班.
k2 全部下午班, k3全部上午班.

hinhinboy

K3 only got am class.
And if you apply for ENG-PTH class, you need to attend one more PTH interview. If not, no PTH interview.

Hi bb@wonderland,

Thanks very much for your info!
So do u know if K3 will split back to am/pm classes? Also any idea if choose interview in Cantonese, still any interview by PTH.

bb@wonderland

All K2 classes are PM classes, and All K3 classes are AM classes. No more split.

Yes, if you choose interview in Cantonese and apply Eng/PTH, then you will be interviewed by 1 Cantonese teacher and 1 PTH teacher.

As RoxaneMama, my boy also likes going to school. He even said he wants to go to school when he just back home from school.

The curriculum of St. Cat is difficult. My friend gave me the worksheets/ workbooks of K3, it is hard for a  kindergarten student. To me, its contents seem for a primary student indeed. So no need to worry about the connection to primary.

Hi Lawflorence
Same as Roxane mama, my daughter loves SC so much and she's not willing to switch back to her old nursey school(I'm just kidding to her).

One of my friend shown me a science worksheet of SC's K2 class, it is really not playing type!  Its some basic science conepts that even parents may not be able to answer correctly (at least I'm one of them).

I know it sounds like an advertisement, but I really have full confidence in SC's education programme.:loveliness:

RoxaneMama

我都有同佢講叫佢返以前Nursey間學校, 佢唔制.
今朝她早起, 所以可以先去飲茶才返學, 佢好緊張咁問, "出街呀? 咁仲唔返唔返學喇? 唔得喎, 我要返學." 好攪笑.
小女得2歲9個月jar.

i like SC so much but my daughter is still only in the waiting list. I have asked the school so many times on the WL status but replied that none of the WL was being accepted this year as all the students have confirmed their seats.Should i try to go for K2 again?

Hi RoxaneMama,

Really thanks for your sharing!
Your daughter is so smart that she can answer the question when she is only around 2yrs old last year when attending the interview.
May I ask if she studying in ENG/PTH class?

that's not the truth as i have given up SC's offer in late March and so did my friend....maybe they accepted more than 600 kids just in case a few of them withdraw from the offer.

bb@wonderland

Share the same viewpoint. I know some kids also did not take the offer at the end.

I guess St. Cat know the rough percentage of withdrawal based on their past experiences. So they accepted more students, taken the dropout rate into account.

係呀﹐我有個朋友都放棄左St. Cat's acceptance offer 而選擇左一條龍既幼稚園讀上去.....St. Cat 辦學數十年一定有自己既收生system跟住做。 各位父母請隨緣啦 (放心﹐係你既嘢最終都係你架﹗)

今日收咗信，報名表已派發完畢，真係激氣，我為咗佢個4。5“＊9。5”信封，所以12／9先寄，於是就連張表都無。

RoxaneMama

佢依家讀英粵班咋, 因佢考o個陣只得1歲11個月, 我唔敢同佢考英普班, 因英普今年全校得4班, 驚佢無咁大機會架麻. 不過報左英普班嘅媽咪又唔駛擔心, 因去年fail左英普都有機會收到英粵班嘅offer.

你係唔係寄平郵呀? 因為太多人同一時間寄, 所以可能平郵需時更加耐, 因為我打過去st cat問, 佢話係以糾到郵件的時間為準, 並唔睇你何時寄架! 下次記住寄掛號呀, 因為會快d同埋可以查到個status, 就算唔得都知咩事丫!

不過仲有好多好學校的, 我見其他mami講如果真係好鍾詫呢間, 今年唔得咪出年再試過囉, 加油呀!
