Dear Principal,
Please excuse me for this unexpected letter expressing the eagerness of mine and my son/daughter for the education offered by the XXX Primary School.
My son/daughter and I are very much impressed by the education offered by your school which stresses a balanced and all-rounded development of one’s potential. The school is so renowned for its academic and extra-curricular activities standing that all parents would like to have their children educated in such a sounding environment. I attribute the success solely to the devotion and enthusiasms by the Principal and every members of the school. The XXX really makes a difference.
I am sure my son/daughter will obtain great benefit if he/she is with the XXX. And follows his/her own initiative in learning and being diligent. Though he/she might not have done as well as others, he/she is likely to show great progress if some form of enlightenment is given by someone who is a real educationalist. Moreover, my son/daughter started playing the piano last year and has attained the stage II level. His/her talent in this area is likely to be developed further as the XXX has an excellent reputation for music.
I would be most grateful if my son/daughter could be given an interview with the Principal so that you may obtain a more comprehensive understanding of my son/daughter. Copies of my son/daughter’s school reports, certificates and testimonials are enclosed for your consideration. Should anything be missing, I can be reached at 12345678 for clarification.

Yours truly,

XXX小學校長﹕
素聞 貴校校風淳樸，辦學嚴謹，懷作育英才之抱負，致力推動德智體群四育，學生表現出類拔萃，在社會及學界備受稱譽，本人十分欽佩。
上月適值 貴校開放日，本人偕小女XXX到校參觀，深感 貴校學生知書達禮，才藝兼備，教師教導有方，乃一秉持崇高教學理念之優良學府。小女將於明年九月升讀小學，本人冀盼小女能入讀 貴校，接受全人教育。小女年幼時已參加XXX幼稚園舉辦之學前輔導課程，得以增進知識，培養自信及合群性格。小女聰敏好學，對語言、藝術尤具天分，學業成 績一直名列前茅。 貴校一向覑重發展多元教學，培訓學生兩文三語能力﹔跨學科教學更充分發展學生潛能。倘若小女有幸在 貴校接受啟蒙訓練，定必獲益良多。
本人認同子女之成長發展，有賴家長與學校攜手合作。知悉 貴校早年已成立家長會，如小女獲 貴校取錄，本人樂意參與家校活動，與學校共同肩負孩子成長發展之責任。
隨函附上小女就讀幼稚園之成績單及個人資料，懇請 察閱。如蒙 貴校給予入讀機會，小女定當勤奮向學，謹遵校長與老師之諄諄教誨，日後貢獻社會，為 貴校爭光，以報悉心栽培之恩。

Dear Mrs. Wong,
It gives me great honour to write to you. We met last month at your School Open Day, and at the time, my daughter, XXX, and I were impressed by the virtues your pupils presented and the academic excellence they maintained. I also agree with your adoption of the cross-curriculum methodology to broaden pupils' horizon. Such nourishing environment has confirmed our decision to apply to your school.
XXX shares the same view with full enthusiasm. She actively joins an array of enlightening courses that can equip her with essential knowledge, thus build up her confidence. I believe this initiative is the main reason that your pupils are always outstanding. More encouragingly, my husband and I find my daughter has potent language ability, especially in reading English literature. This trait is exceptionally suited to your school's emphasis on language training.
We also recognize that your school is one of the few pioneers in establishing a parents' association, in which teachers coordinate seasonable activities to foster a harmonious relationship between the school board and parents. Their commitment and consideration again makes us feel that we can count on your school to nurture wholesome development of our children.
We are now more convinced than ever that (school name) is our ultimate choice. In the meantime, I am enclosing XXX's achievement portfolio, which explains further why her qualities would make a good addition to your school. Thank you for letting us know that primary school life can be that fruitful and enjoyable.
Yours faithfully,
(Parent's name)

神父介紹信
Principal of XXXXX School
I have been requested to provide a reference for WONG xxxx xxxx who has applied for the admission to the XXXXXXX School. I have known this little Christian for a period of ____ years/months. In reference to his practice of the Christian Faith:
He attends Mass on a regular basis. He is baptized and registered in the local parish. He is familiarly known to me and is a small Christian role model.
I know his parents fairly well. I appreciate them for all their contributions and voluntaries to our church. I felt very delightful in their devoutness and worships, and have insight that their strong beliefs in God must have been developed into a very positive influence on their son’s development.
Attending to XXXXXXXX School would be the perfect fit for WONG xxxx xxx with a strong Christian background and a great start for his education.

XXXXX校長先生：
自 參觀 貴校開放日後，本人被 貴校學生們那活潑可愛、互相参與的精神所吸引。為了能更了解 貴校，在這年多的時間裡，本人曾向 貴校的家教會成員及家長們作出深入了解，知道 貴校對培育學生各方面的發展不為餘力，其中以德育方面更獲高度評價。 在本年九月小女XXX參觀 貴校時，XXX對 貴校環境、設施和老師們和藹可親的態度非常喜愛。經過與XXX相討後，我們一致決定向 貴校遞交小一入學申請表，可惜在抽簽中未被抽到，故現致函校長，敬請能給與小女後補生的機會。 我們深切希望XXX有機會接受貴校的優質教育，成為 貴校的一份子，渡過一個快樂的校園生活。
祝 工作順利

XXXX校長先生：
您 好！首先多謝您去年十二月中來電，回覆小女申請後補生之信件。時間過得很快，小一派位結果公佈日期將近，作為家長心情亦非常緊張。 回想年初XXX為了將會成為小學生，主動要求裝備自己，如減少午睡、學習如何分配做家課、温習及遊戲等時間，作為家長真是感到非常安慰；只可惜現今派位制 度所限，我們除了在XXX裝備自己的過程中給與指導和協助外，對於派位結果真感到無能為力。 我們確信有良好的小學教育，將會為日後升學打好基礎，因此我們將揀選與小女性格配合的小學為首要的目標。正因如此，如XXX於六月?日派位公佈後，未能派 往 貴校就學，懇請校長給與XXX一個小一學位。
唐突之處，敬請見諒！
隨函附上XXX之履歷表以供參考。

Knowing that while applying Primary school should be full of nervous & pressure, so pls be “Easy Easy Easy…. With smile & love!”

個人檔案忌花巧冗長(由明報編輯部提供)
子女的履歷表讓學校可以在短時間內了解他們的個人資料。家長應以簡單清楚的方式填寫，設計方面不用太花巧，篇幅也不宜過長，最好不要超過一版A4紙的長度。以下的範本可供參考，並留意以下數點﹕
(a) 要按照子女在出世紙上的姓名填寫。
Personal ProfilePersonal Details:
Name in English : Wong Tsz Yan, Kelly
Name in Chinese : 王芷欣
Gender : Female
Date of Birth : 27th June, 2000
Place of Birth : Hong Kong
Nationality : Chinese
(b) 如家長經常不在香港，緊記要寫清楚聯絡電話號碼。
Parents' Details
Name of Father : Wong Man Keung, Daniel
Father's Occupation : Marketing Director
Telephone Number : 9000 8000
Name of Mother : Lee Yan Yee, Kristy
Mother's Occupation : Housewife
Telephone Number : 9090 9090
Home Address : 45/F, Block II, No. 37, King's Road, Hong Kong
Schools Attended:
September 2003 to Present Westin Kindergarten
September 2002 to July 2003 Kingston Nursery School
(c) 填寫最有代表性及最近期的項目。子女在入幼稚園前獲取的獎項，如爬行比賽冠軍，在入讀小學時已不再重要。
Achievements:
Westin Kindergarten
* Award of Conduct and Excellent Academic Achievement Certificate (2005)
* First Honour Student (2005)
* Certificate of Award - Conduct (2004)
(d) 要選擇對子女有幫助及能切合學校課程的課外活動，更重要是讓學校感覺到子女有恆心。課外活動應以質而非量取勝。家長如為子女編排太多課外活動，但每種活動都半途而廢，反而對報考的子女不利。
