Why do Schools conduct interviews for the Pre-primary section?
Pre-primary education is the initial stage of education. It is for the academic development of each and every student. It will be an activity-based curriculum that helps to develop their basic knowledge about many things.
The concept of the pre-primary section interviews are:
- To interact with students to know about their overall behaviour towards learning.
- To know about the interests and skills of the students.
- To determine a student whether they are capable of answering some simple questions or not.
You can take our sample mock test online along with your kid and observe how he performs.
1. Hi Good morning! How are you today?
This will be the first interaction section between your kid and the principal. As a parent, you have to teach them how to be very respectful to others with a pleasant face and a good smile.
For instance, Very Good Morning! I am Fine today Thank you.
'First impression is the best impression' So Kids should be very active in the initial stage of the interaction.
2. What is your name?
The next question will be your Name. So you have to teach your kids to say their names without hesitation. For instance, My name is Hannah
3. Can you tell me the spelling of your name?
Sometimes the Principal will ask your kids to spell their names. like 🗣 H, A, N, N, A, H
