School Interview

[dramaqueen]

Dear Ladies,

Please advise if the school called for kids interview, is that mean that they chances going to school are higher?

In general from friends & colleagues who have done the interview rounds at various schools ... "No, and interview does not mean the chances are higher." The interview for some schools is not only about the child but the parents as well.

One of my friend's commented a few years back that she felt like she & her husband were being interviewed on their parenting skills, abilities and family values - it had little to nothing to do with her child.

all it means is that you have made it past the first round of selections. However, your child will be offered a place based on their performance in the interview so it would be a good idea to start coaching him/her on what to expect.

Here is a good article from the batgung guys on what to expect:

I should mention that from the two interviews my daughter has done for P1 - at DGS and Pui Kiu COllege in Tai Wai. Both times it was only her being interviewed and not us.
