my boy is a small one, born in dec 2005. he's got a place in the 2nd round. we don't have any kinda relationship with the school.  
although this is just the second round,  i
m so happy and excited as if he's got accepted already.  cos i used to think small boys don't have chance, and of course those with no special relation. but this time it seems that things are always not as bad as we think. way to go!!! small boys' moms, hanging tough and add oil ah!!

因為個個申請人都有得見校長，所以校長應該真係見晒２４７３個小朋友，只係５個５個見，唔係一個一個。

大家知唔知幾時先正式通知2nd in日期同時間？定亦或要日日上網check？應該唔會今日通知你聽日in啩？

入左2nd round都已很好, 都唔敢抱希望呀

According to the practice of the school so far (from admission seminar to 2nd interview notification), they usually give sufficient notice to parents to accommodate their procedures.  As the shortlist says the 2nd interview will be held from late Nov onwards, it will be reasonable to assume that the detailed schedules will be released some time from Mid-Nov onwards.  (Of course, this is just my educated guess.) It may even be earlier but there is no real need to check the web site so early unless you are accustomed to the need to have 1st-hand information.

My son also got a second interview chance. I am very happy but also very disappointed. I learnt from some school related friends that this school only loves those 書獃子, and hates those creative and expressive。My son got a chance means my son is also not smart ? It may be true as many of his smart classmates do not admit for second interview.

I will consider whether I should let my son enter this kind of school even being accepted.

Hi Thomas,

Do you have any idea on what will cover in the 2nd interview of Ying Wah?

Many thanks.

What I have heard so far about this school is exactly the opposite.  The school does not like bookworms and they emphasise on creativity and group work.  I also hear that in recent years they do put more emphasis on academic subjects in response to requests for grade improvement.

My Ying Wa graduated colleagues told me about all these. Their sons are in Ying Wah as well and thnking of changing to other schools. They are in the alumni.

What I can gather so far is that the principal will ask the child questions related to the previous interview (so what appeared in the last interview needs to be remembered). She will ask the parents about the child's personality and strengths/weaknesses as well as expectations we have about the child's development - this part is quite common for the last interview of each school.

I hope the above helps.  Maybe other parents can share what they know too.

I have the same comments from my friends about YW. YW faced the pressure to improve their academic grades as DBS.

thomasha

Thank you for sharing such information.  I will definitely consider it when I have a chance to make a decision on whether I will let my son study in Ying Wa.

Will you consider not going to the 2nd interview as you don't like the school and the comments are so negative?  It will give more chances to parents who like the school.

I suggest you give up your 2nd in place immediately.  The school love book worm?  On the contrary I am afraid they got too aggressive on the sports and music etc!

Most of the parent will be able to replace your son in the 2nd in so you dont get disappointed.
