I thought it was usually in May. It was in Nov last year because of AYLC. Anyway, I discover that some schools like HCI, RI etc has two open house, one in May and another in Nov after psle.

The office said open house should be ‘end of year’.

I don’t think open house affects intake. Anyone decides the school based on experience at open house?

Yes, based on ambience of the place, talks, vibe of students/teachers, overall culture etc. In fact, a number of parents have mentioned before that they and their kids changed their minds on schools after visiting the various Open House.

Yes, last year we attended the open house of a elite sch, were very disappointed with the indifference and unhelpfulness of the students, so we struck off that sch. After we attended RV open house, we submitted the 6 choices immediately.
