separated parents

Do separated parents affect the child's admission?
Do I have to fill in both parents contact and address in school applications? Is it important both parents attend interview? Please advise. Thanks.

其實呢個可以構成學校收生的其中一個因素，個人認為名校會大受影響，而有人情味有原則的學校則不會。至於我亦聽聞有case 是在老師同小朋友傾計時，問出是單親家庭來。

I understand for some schools, separated parents is definately a disadvantage to your kids chance for an offer cause they put alot of emphasis on family background.

有一位朋友, 她為小孩子叩門時, 到每一間學校面試, 爸媽一起出席, 成功叩到一間好學校.  學校一定問你們如何安排分擔小孩的教育和照顧.  加油.

No need to state anything specially about the family status.  Just fill in information about both parents as normal.  Unless the school ask about your family status, no need to mention 'single parent family' because it is not supposed to be the consideration of acceptance.  This principle (or technique so to speak) also applies to the child's interview.  You need to explain this to your child beforehand.  As for the parents' part of interview, unless both parents are willing to cooperate and well prepare for the interview, otherwise it may be rather risky.  Simply attending but performing badly during the interview will do more harm than good.  In fact, it is not that difficult to find an excuse to explain why the dad/mum not able to attend.

如學校老師問到小朋友，知悉其父母巳離異嘅情況都冇辧法
