This is a webinar.

For many Hong Kong families, the most challenging part of a boarding-school application is often not the written test, but the interview: just fifteen minutes to make an impression. Say too little and your child seems passive; recite a script and an experienced interviewer sees through it at once. How to draw out a child's curiosity, empathy, and composure under pressure, in so short a time, is a question many parents find most pressing. Academic Asia is delighted to welcome two distinguished guests to share their interview insights in person. Giles Delaney is Executive Director and Director of Education at Academic Asia, with seventeen years of experience as a leading school headmaster. Richard Brown is the former head of Brighton College's own preparatory school, and has been appointed Academic Asia's new Non-Executive Director. Between them, these two former headmasters have helped countless students gain places at the finest boarding schools, and they will share their interview insights at the webinar without holding back.
