請問曾經in 過K1的家長，可否分享一下大概的考試內容，十分感謝

1. Free time playing in the indoor playground ~ remember to take off the shoes before entering the mat.

2. Group Story telling in English ~ 4-5 kids in a room listening story by NET and will do some animal matching by kids afterall.

3. Individual interview in Cantonese ~ simple puzzle with different shapes and color, teacher will ask shapes and color, picture and real product matching, etc.

4. Fill in survey by parents ~ around 10 groups (kids + 1 parent) in a room, kid and parent will seat next together with a table in the front, parent needs to fill in the survey and kid can read the book on the table.  Teacher/principal will check how parents cope with the kid, and kid needs to pass the survey to principal after done.

It takes around an hour for the whole interview.

Don't overlook the free time in the playground, teacher is watching the kids as well. I noticed a kid wearing shoes when playing the slide and her parents didn't ask her to take off even though she awared of this problem.  I saw a teacher watching the whole scene and go to get the writing board and write down something immediately.

Good Luck!!

Is this for K1 or PN?  How come same contents as PN interview?

d-ma

it is K1 for last year.  Maybe they are doing the same way for PN too.

請問有無媽媽記得In完份問卷係問D咩?同K1會有幾多位剩餘?因佢地有N仔升上優先

I think I will give up the interview this coming Fri, though LH is just 5 mins walk from home. It's because there might not be many places for non-PN kids to be admitted to K1.

There are four PN classes this year but there will only be three K1 classes next year.  So the competition for outsiders must be very keen.

You will never know the result if you are not trying.  I thought the same as you last year, not much chance as too limited seats. My home is almost an hour to school and my son was pretty sick on the interview day (didn't go to school for 1 week).  But he performed very well during the interview and finally he got a seat in the first round.  

If you think the school is good, don't miss the chance or give up easily.

Good Luck!!

Can parents go with the kids for the story-telling session? Thanks.

katie0208

Does every kid need to response in the group English session ? Cos my boy can't understand Eng. I m afraid he will have no response.

d-ma

coeychung0406 - the survey is just an usual one, who take care of the kid, how much time you spend with him/her, what will you play, what kind of food he/she like and your expectation on the kid and parents etc.  For the seat, principal said HL branch received over 1K application forms and accepted around 30 new comers only. (coz there is only 3 K1 class this year, not sure how many K1 class for coming year.)

djdjdjdj - 1 parent is allow to accompany with the kid for the story telling session.

katie0208 - recall my memory last year, the story is about animal, so match the animal at the end.  The kid doesn't need to answer the question.

coeychung0406

Thank you your information

hoihoima

Only 3 K1 classes for 2012/13.

hoihoima

The main point is not your answers on the survey, but what is the behavior of your kid when you are doing the survey.  There are teachers carrying pen and paper around the room.

coeychung0406

你意思是上下午加埋共三班,咁咪得好少位囉

coeychung0406

因為果日可能只得我一個帶小朋友去In,只係怕填問卷嘅時候佢攪攪震而唔能夠專心 anyway多謝你意見

katie0208

Thanks D-ma. Chance is so slim. I will treat it as a game. Tks a lot, anyway

d-ma

i think this is the main reason for the survey session.  They would like to see how parents cope with the kids when they are busy.  Some tips for you, bring something he/she likes which can make him/her concentrate.
