Don't worry. The tips is, if you are invited for a 2nd interview, your kid is highly likely to be accepted unless you are not in line with the school's mission & view on eduation. The 2nd interview usually took place on Sat, but also at late evening with short notice within a few days. Last year, 2 families went in together with a 5 minutes chat with the principal for each family. The principal would ask the parents about their expectation and opinion on primary education or did they know somebody studying in cky. She would also ask the kids a few simple questions like whether they like reading story books & which kindergarten they are studying. It didn't matter how the kids react this time as most are timid & shy under such format. Good luck everybody! Quote:

But 2nd interview starts on 19 Nov. If they made the decision after all 1st interview 12 Nov, then it will be too close to 2nd interview.

Anyone who kids study in CKY can give us some clues, please.

Agreed. CKY is looking for partners, not trouble. Accepting parents who are not in line with their teaching methods will bring in troubles (compliants).

But, how to pick the right students and parents?
um...I remember two years ago when I filled in the questionnaire during the interview, I saw a question - "Which other schools have you applied?"

I put down "啟思", which is similiar to CKY's teaching mode. At that time, I think, if I were the principals, and if I saw an applicant who applied for other "Traditional Schools", it is sure that the parents do not have a direction of which school they want. Just like a 羊群心理 to apply for CKY. With such impression, (if I were the principals) I will surely reject the application.

At the second interview, the principals would ask the parents about their expectation and opinion on primary education or whether they know somebody studying in cky. The same reason: The Principals want to make sure you are in line with the vision.

P.S. I have no relationship with 保良局 at all (Dad/mom were not PLK students before, no kids studying in PLK, no relatives working in PLK, etc.) so I scored "0" in the 10-mark scheme. But it doesn't matter. My kid was admitted anyway.

Yingky, kunggi201

Thanks for your detailed information! But I don't worry the 2nd interview because my husband and I are very sure having the same vision as CKY, otherwise we will not choose it as first choice. We are just worrying if no 2nd interview, then my son has no chance to get into CKY.

My son is studying at PLK kindergarten but the score didn't help when I applied one PLK primary school for him, so I don't depend on that marks.

ChunMaMa,

You are better than me, at least your son have more 10 points than my son. My point of view is same as yours. I will pay 100% of attention of the 2nd interview but only thing i concern is NO CHANCE for 2nd interview. I really really want my son to study at this school as i think this is the most suitable school for him at Hong Kong and the price etc. is afforable by us compare with ISF or Yew Chung. This week is really not good for me as i am always think of the 2nd interview and wait and wait for the letter.

In fact, i have phoned to the CKY and they said they will mail the letter to announce for the 2nd interview. Anyone know for those rejected will receive the letter as well.

Kunggi201, Yinky,

Really thanks for your shares, hope my son can join CKY in the near future.

It seems all parents love CKY very much, why? what's the point draw all of your attention?

CKY is not perfect. Students have to study in a temp. school location when they build new school. She use IB program. Once you get in, there is no turning back.
lamsuetwai | 2005-11-10 14:16
i think every school have their good or bad. Actually we can't find the perfect school for both admin. or teaching method.

But the only one point i concern is whether the kid can get the happy school life, and learn the new things by initiative. This is the most important.

I will fully support CKY, if my son can get a seat.

Voasia,

Where ar u?

i really agree of your point of view at your past messages. How is your comment on the 2nd interview and what do u think we can do if our kid didn't got the chance for the 2nd interview

during the 1st interview, the teacher told me that the school will move to ShamShuiPo for 2 years,
but did not disclose the name / address of that one. And will move back to the exisiting address on 2009, i.e. P3 if your kid can be admitted P1 next year.

As if you read through those topics you should know I am a CKY existing parent and I have a young kid to apply the school this year.
In my view, CKY may not be the perfect one, but it can give my child a happy environment for study rather than struggle for those nonsense marks. I am not care about his score, what I care is if he tried his best or he appreciate/enjoy the knowledge or not. As I discuss with CKY teacher before, they all believe in encouragement rather than punishment. I don't see any traditional school can does this (may be they need to push the student to score better in order to "show off" themselves, they just demand short term return and use all the means to kick/persuade out the weak one).
CKY is not as expensive as the IS but with similar approach so even though I know there will hardly a way out in the middle, I still much much prefer my kids to get in (You can look around for those student study in so call famous school, how/what they are pressurized by the existing examination system). But one thing to remind other parent, you need to select very careful in this type of school(may be I select wrong) because once started, it is true that very difficult to change school even with the similar approach (just like taking a medical course).

Father_ho,

in your point of view, what you means that "it is difficult to change other school". You means change school at the primary stage or secondary stage. I also want to know, if my kid study at CKY for the primary 6. Can he still can join the allocation for the secondary school provided by Government? although i know CKY will have their own secondary school.

My concern is if the kid finished the secondary stage at CKY. Can they study at local University or need to study abroard?
