請教SPCC及DGS家長

kh_wong

請問你們當初是怎樣為孩子準備升中面試？明白成績好是基本條件，此外還需要預先學習更深更廣的知識嗎？英語程度又需要到達怎樣的水平呢？

感謝指教！

請問你們當初是怎樣為孩子準備升中面試？
If your kid is kind of shy, you may consider letting him/her join an interview class to get prepared.  In our case, we arranged some discussion sessions in Eng/PTH/Cantonese for the kids (with some classmates) facilitated by one or two parents during the summer (P.5 to P.6) to get them familiarized (though group discussion may not be required in every secondary school interview, it's a good way to understand how they think and present the ideas).

需要預先學習更深更廣的知識嗎？
Well, no particular courses taken for this aspect.  But my kid is a booklover and I believe one gains knowledge as he reads extensively.

英語程度又需要到達怎樣的水平呢？
Well, this is hard to tell.  (deleted....)

hkmom，實在感激賜教！

本來茫無頭緒，當下明白必需先從閱讀及英語水平著手，說真的，這文章真不像P5的作文，不說還以為來自英語小說讀本，看來小女（現讀小四）真的要加把勁才有些微機會。

如果你不介意的話，可否再多分享面試經驗，以及引導孩子廣泛閱讀，提升英語水平的方法？

我只為我女報考一間  ( DGS ) , 就收了, 什麼也不用煩, 沒有準備什麼升中面試

請問女兒在小學時成積怎樣？有特異功能嗎？有考慮Spcc嗎？

Sorry for the late reply (and for privacy reasons, I've deleted my kid's writing above)

Well, we haven't specifically trained our kid to get into SPCC. However, he is a booklover I must say.  He has developed his reading habit (both English and Chinese fortunately) since he was a toddler.  At first (toddlers to pre-school), he read Dora The Explorer, Oxford Reading Tree, Magic School Bus, Geronimo Stilton, ... and later (primary school) Roald Dahl, Ox of Wizard, Harry Potter...  He fell in love with Roald Dahl's books after he read The Enormous Crocodile at K3.  As a kindergarten kid, he also read Chinese chapter books before entering the primary school (e.g. he didn't know there were 喜羊羊 comics until he saw them at school because we bought 喜羊羊 chapter books before then).
People often sort of "tease" SPCC's asking students questions on how to make a cup of Ovaltine.  Well, we do not drill him for science questions.  But as far as I remember, he had subscribed 資優數學與科技from the primary school in the past few years and he loved reading them.  Occasionally he would run into YouTube clips about everyday science and experiments (sorry I don't have the links).  He also watches the educational programs by TVB such as 學是學非.

Sorry that I don't have any clues on coaching him to read, because he reads more readily than his parents.

Btw, don't ask me which primary school he was from.  It's always better to understand the "track record" of the school your kid now studies in order to make an estimation of the chance of getting into a certain secondary school.  For SPCC, if your kid excels academically, and he/she performs normally (e.g. not too shy) in the selection interview, the chance definitely will be high.  I've once heard of a case that a top girl from a prestigious primary school could not answer the science questions during the interview, she still got the school offer.  And if your kid has some gifts or talents, you may go for the Special Talent queue (but don't ask me what it means by Special Talent as my kid did not enter the school that way).

Hope the above helps.

My kid's form ranking was not within top 3. His 運動 = 0, 朗誦 = 0 (he doesn't like it), while for 音樂, he has two instruments @grade 5 or above plus choir.
