Dear gogocat,

We didn't applied for other Itn'l school and I didn't notice there were children speaking Putonghau.

There were not so many people during our time and I found all the child speaking English. There were mix nationalities like Chinese, Indian and Malaysian.

I only applied this school because I thought this school has a well-balanced between English and Mandarin. My friends said their child enjoy their school life there.

Anyway, did you ask your daughter about the interview? My son just mentioned a bit and I couldn't get a clear picture about it. It seems like they needed to write or draw something....It really suprised me because according to the mums here, they said the interview was very easy and they just asked the child to play some toys or reconize some colour or objects?

What do you think?

Hi,
I guess most of the children I met on Monday were mainly from Singapore or China, no children of other nationalities.
Hv you ever heard the English of your friend's children?
I believe my daughter did draw/color sth in the assessment but she couldnt tell me much about it. I learnt from another parent that her daughter was asked to reconize her name written on the paper. how long did your little one stay in the asessment room? did you ask yr friend when we could get the result from the school?

regards,

Dear gogocat,

Just came back from China and sorry for the late reply.

Actually my friend is from Singapore and I didn't hear her daughter's English.

The school said we should be informed within a month. So, do you have any back up after SIS?

hi, thanks for your reply.
we have got the place from CDNIS at the moment. attended the GSIS interview, but not expect she could get a place as there were 170 applicants applied for the K1 (20 places)this year. the sch management clearly informed us that, they will let those priority groups to fill up the places first. i am sure those 20 places could be easily filled up by those with passport, siblings and debenture holders.

Hi yyyy,

I remember I have asked you questions on SIS last year when my son attended PY1 interview. He was on the waiting list last year, and this year for PY2 interview he got a place.

One thing I wish to consult you is that if my child is the type who is not always following instructions, and not so hard working, will it be difficult to cope with the standard and curriculum of SIS?

Do you know if there are children who study in SIS but quit later because they cannot withstand the pressure? Does the school require the child to be very self-discipline?

Thank you for your advice.
