Teachers are looking for children to act naturally, to see how they interact with other students. For those applying for Year 1, there is an expectation that your child should be able to go to school without a nappy or pull up. Don\u2019t worry about accidents \u2013 Year 1 teachers expect them and will ask you to pack a change in your child\u2019s school bag particularly in the first term of school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They are not looking to see how many classes your child is enrolled in, rather they are looking at the interest your child is showing is drawing, writing, colouring, cutting, building blocks, playing with other students etc. From these observations, teachers can learn a lot about your child\u2019s development, if they are tracking at the same level as other 5-year-olds, their pen hold, gross motor, fine motor abilities etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Don\u2019t forget too \u2013 that schools too are looking at how you as a parent interact with your child. How you spend time together at weekends, bedtime routines, favourite toys, holidays even how you interact whilst you are at the school for the interview! These are all part of the decision-making process teachers use when deciding on places for Year 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There is no need to over prepare for international school interviews.
