1 Kingston s Mission Statement: To provide a challenging and stimulating environment that nurtures the balanced development of student who, in their own unique way, grow into active and responsible world citizens. What is the family s role in the admissions process? At Kingston we believe the family plays an important role in the education of the child. For this reason we aim to admit families who support the Kingston mission statement and believe in the importance of our bilingual inquiry based programme. When can I apply for Kingston? Primary School We accept applications throughout the school year; however, the majority of interviews for P1 occur in November and December in the year prior to entry. Kindergarten and Children s Centre We accept applications year round. The majority of parent information sessions and interviews for Playgroup and 2 Year Old class positions are held from October to March while interviews for the 3 and 4 Year Old classes are conducted if positions become available. Note for families who are not permanent residents of Hong Kong: All students must have gained approval from the Hong Kong Immigration Department to enter/remain in Hong Kong. What is the selection criteria for Kingston applicants? Playgroup, Children s Centre and Kindergarten Children will be assessed for developmentally appropriate skills and language. Interviews will be conducted in English and Chinese (Putonghua) by members of the school leadership team and classroom teachers. Primary Schoo l Applicants to the primary school will be assessed on their ability in Mathematics (conducted in English), English and Chinese (Putonghua and traditional characters).

2 What do the interviews entail? Playgroup and Children s Centre Interviews are conducted like a Playgroup class and children and parents will take part in a bilingual circle time, fine motor activities and play activities. Our classroom teachers will lead the class while members of the school leadership team will observe the children for age appropriate skills and language. Kindergarten Interviews will be conducted in small groups in a classroom setting. Children will be encouraged to take part in a range of play activities in the classroom that will allow us see your child s language skills and ability to interact with others. Lower Primary Our lower primary interviews are conducted by our Leadership team and current teachers of the grade level your child is interviewing for. Typically in the interview children participate in number of activities designed to engage the children. The purpose of the interview is for us to get to know your child. We accept children who we feel will be a good match for our very challenging bilingual Putonghua/English programme. We will be assessing your child s language ability (English and Putonghua), Mathematics (assessed in English) and social skills. In P2 and P3 we assess reading and writing skills. The group interviews allow us to observe your child in a social situation. We also find children less nervous in a group interview setting. Parents are given a tour of the school while their child is taking the test and are given the chance to ask questions about our programme. Upper Primary Students sit for a short speaking/listening/reading/writing and mathematics test. Both languages are tested and the student is verbally interviewed in English and Putonghua. Parents are given a tour of the school while their child is taking the test and are given the chance to ask questions about our programme. What age does my child have to be to enter the school? Class Playgroup Two year old class Three year old class Four year old class Primary One Primary Two Primary Three Primary Four Primary Five Primary 6 Age by October 31st One year old Two years old Three years old Four years old Five years old Six years old Seven years old Eight years old Nine years old Ten years old
