Has anyone received any details yet on interview?  We were supposed to be notified sometime in November on the interview plans?
Thanks!

Same just got it! I wonder how the interview will go.  They just said small group play.  Will parents need to be involved?  or can we just stand in the back/outside and let them do their thing?

I think parents will accompany coz email said kids and parents will go to classroom for activities

This is interesting, for prep class we need to submit video.Surprisingly the younger grade can do face to face? Or do you think we got screen out already?

This year only EY1 is face to face assessment.
Other grades seems are all video assessment.

It mentions in the admissions requirements for a Student Reference form and also a Student Report Card.
The reference form is easy as I can get a teacher to sign off on it. However the Student Report Card is a bit tough as my child's current school won't distribute Report cards until End of Dec/Ear of Jan.

Does anyone have any experience with this?

It's "if applicable". You can use the last term report and update school the latest one when you get it.

Does CDNIS invite all applicants to EY1 interview or the school has screened out some applications?

I don't have a 'last term' report card, as my child only went to PN just less than a few months ago. They would not have a report card before that.  The first term report card is due end of this year / early next year.

I think they would've screened out applicants already. For us, we got an invitation for an interview back in Late Sept/Ear Oct.   Then we just got the second email a week or so ago to attend the physical interview.

It should be OK if you already submitted the reference form. No worries

So how was everyone's overall experience at CDNIS?  I think it was well organized, but I am just worried that with so many children running around, not sure how the teachers/assessors can notice every child and their behaviors.  

I wonder what they were observing.   I saw some kids running around a lot and not listening to instructions though.  So I assume that's a no-no?

Were all the assessments conducted on the same day? I wonder how many kids were there in total attending the assessment?
Only the playground had a lot of children running around? The classroom activities were just a few kids and 3 teachers so should be ok. I don’t think that if a kid is running around, it is necessarily a no-no as international schools are meant to be more liberal and shows they are more active and social perhaps

I don't know if all assessments were done in the same day.  I think they did it over multiple weekends (sat-sun).  If I just do rough math, I think there were probably around ~250-300 children applying for a spot of 80.

The playground it was free play.  All the kids started exploring around and there were assessors walking around evaluating everyone with a clipboard.  In the classroom activities, it was around 6-7 students per class.  2 teachers each classroom.


Yes, perhaps running around is OK.  However the way the parent acted was not liberal lol  Also there must be some rules on how they select students.  Even though running around is considered "liberal" - then how do you compare that child to another child who sits attentively?  Hard to say really.
