K1 1st Interview
Per EDB guideline, K1 interviews start from November; each branch aims to finish within November, extending if applications are numerous. The principal or a teacher interviews each child individually with a parent present, observing development through interaction. Whole-day applicants from dual-working-parent families or families caring for a person with disability may receive priority (documents required). Branches try to interview all applicants; if too many, at least twice the number of vacancies or about 85% of applicants. (PN/K2/K3 interviews are generally in Sep-Oct, on a first-come-first-serve basis plus the above criteria.)
