.....with teams separating the application forms on the spot, why are they taking so long in setting the schedule of 1st interviews and sending out the 1st int notifications?  It's already the 24th today...
...

Though somebody said the otherwise, I'm suspecting that SPCC is grouping the kids for 1st interviews according to their age, i.e. birth months.  That's why it doesn't follow the "first-come-first-served" principle.

Hi KaHeiBaBa,

校長在簡介會講得好清楚,2nd in一定要父母雙方出席架,但1st in無甘樣講,知道系甘就得喇,最起碼一個帶佢去,唔使兩個同時請假甘慘,因為有d工真系請唔到假.

thank you very much!!

我知道，因為校長年年都會咁講；而我哋一班家長，相信亦都會尊重學校，盡可能都會出席各個 interview (尤其是 2nd in) !!

如果你有睇到舊年有家長分享，佢因為 2nd in 未能父母一齊出席而很擔心，不過到最後，佢嘅小朋友都得到 SPCCPS 嘅取錄 !!

雖然係咁，我其實都係完全贊同，2nd in 父母一齊出席會較為合適 !!

According to what I read in other parts of the BK forum and some P1 seminars, all candidates are separated into:
AR - Related+Same religion
A - Related+no religious ties
BR - Non-related+same religion
B - Non-related+no religious ties

My common sense tells me if these are the only sequence the school follows, it will not take long to sort all candidates with 6-7 people reading through the application forms at another big table while the submission is in process, and it should only take a few days to set a schedule of interview dates and times based on that sequence.  

If what you say is true, the schedule setting process must be quite complicated...no wonder it takes so long.  By the way, are there any advantages in grouping the candidates by age?

Maybe that parent had a very good and valid reason for being absent.   "Busy work" may not sound like a good reason.

Latest news from phone enquiry:

2. No indication of the latest ...

廿四孝爸爸，

請恕我直言 !! (如有得罪之處，敬請多多包涵)

為子女操心搵學校、考學校，其實唔單只在面試安排上感覺苦惱，有時自己作出萬二分嘅努力，亦未必可以事事稱心，因為世事又豈能盡如人意呢 ??

舊年囡囡比較好彩 (佢只考1間直資、2間私校，因為自己學校已經收番)，1間早一個星期見，而另外2間就相差1日；反觀有同學因為面試撞期，要同學校商量，安排改時間 !!

父母為子女操心，小朋友是感受得到的；希望你可以放鬆一點，加油呀 !!

同意 !!

That's why I am managing the expectations of my wife, who has been urging me to open the mailbox every day (I do that already but she keeps asking me if the notification has arrived ).  I told her, "Our son is in Group B, he is not particularly outstanding, so don't occupy your thoughts with being accepted by this school.  Treat it as a big bonus if he is accepted."

Contrary to what many other parents worry about, my son's performance usually does not bother me - because he is stable and average, and there is little we can do now.  My grievances are usually about the handling of the application process.  If the process can be made more transparent (for example, Ying Wa), our lives would be much easier.  

As a father, I can do my best in providing as many opportunities to my son as possible, but it depends on him to grab these opportunities.

Anyway, I am not going to worry too much about what I really cannot control.  I will let destiny take its course.
BTW, when did I become 廿四孝爸爸?   I'm sure my effort is outperformed by many other fathers like you. :)

I believe the "no relationship and no religious group" have to wait a bit longer, my classmate's husband is an old boy of SPCC and submitted form on 7 Sept, still have not received anything.....

Thomasha, what schools have you applied other than SPCC? Did your kid strart interview yet?

My son already attended Ying Wa and SPCPS, will go to HKUGA this SUnday very busy!

thomasha

We have applied for all the schools you mentioned.  My son had his 1st int with Ying Wa (with teachers) on 18/9, with SPCPS today and will have 1st round int with HKUGA tomorrow.

Your classmate's husband should be regarded as "related", but he has not received the notification yet - sounds a bit strange.

KaHeiBaBa,

〔唔講笑住，非常正經〕我真係唔係取笑你，而係衷心佩服。如果舊年有人好似你咁幫忙，我地班家長可以慳番好多時間同精力。好啦！我都唔插科打諢咁多，試下答下問題，睇下幫唔幫到手。

BTW, 得閒去下“小學一覽：2010-11 Primary 1”個邊搞旺下個場啊，個邊好冷清。

shmom，

唉，你同我都係過來人，唔好取笑我喇 !!

有機會的話，希望可以同你多多交流 !!

shmom

1st in 基本上只係in小朋友，個次我地係約4:10pm，信上要求早十五分鐘到，3:55pm到左四樓圖書館之後，老師差不多即時叫左個仔入去，然後叫我地入去核對文件，一分鐘搞掂出番黎，直至個仔4:40pm出來，個40分鐘我同我先生唯一就係係圖書館門外呆坐，同埋睇下D細路：“呢個好精乖wo”，“呢個著得好隆重啊！”。不過個次所見，差不多全部都係父母都出動。

我地兩公婆就一早已決定一齊去1st in，因為唔知仲有無機會入去，所以幾大都去睇下個校園。

Hi KaHeiBaBa,

我想問下,1st in是否要兩個家長帶小朋友去? 面試時間長嗎? 謝謝!

2nd in 我哋約10am, 9:45am report, 等到10:35am入去, 原來已經係好快，有朋友約下午，等左兩個鐘。

2nd in 嘅時間就各有不同，真係要睇情況；睇番舊年 topic 會清楚好多 !! (我哋 2nd in 係早上第一個 in，所以唔需要等好耐)

If I remember correctly, that parent (daddy) was a teacher who could not apply for leave easily.

Yes, the reason should be considered on a case-by-case basis.

KaHeibaba,
想請教吓， 如果我想在1st in 當日提交額外資料， 我應該在什麼時段交比老師呢？

其實我打過電話問學校，佢哋叫我1st in 當曰補交， 但係我睇過舊年D BK 家長話，1st in  當曰老師唔會收， 因為校長已經在app. Form 上有remarks。

所以我有D擔心，希望KaHeibaba比D意見我應該點做。 多謝！

traeh

咦, 你咪係自稱因為有個好面試老師, 令你個仔有N咁多間名校收咗個位家長? 呢啲問題係你位老師話你知, 定你個仔話你知? 好奇問下, 因為從來都無聽人講過問呢啲問題, 亦唔止咁format問問題。
