So I went to both top girl schools open houses recently. It is my first time doing so although I have been to one of the girl school several times by now. Culturally I realized both schools are very different. I wonder how many girls are actually like that in that school or is the open house more a façade than reality? I try to match my kids to the school's culture by looking at the behavior displayed at the open house. Is that realistic?

For me ,
I like to talk to the students about their experience , personalise the questions- what do they like the most in sec school , how is sec school diff from pri, what they found tough to adjust, which subject they like, how is that teacher , how do the teachers help if a student is on mc, or goes to attend competition, CCAs experience and commitment, what time they sleep, ... Talk to a few , do remember that experience is dependent more on the personality of the child than just the school. I just like to know if the children are really liking their school, is there a joy , enthu when they talk about things they say they like, are they at home ...

Thanks. Going to more OH this weekend be sure to stop the girls and ask questions.
Most of all, I would like to find out how much community involvement the girls have in their school or otherwise, I can't seem to find a good answer......I believe in giving back to the community and I hope the school preach that too....this dept seems to be a bit lacking I feel, in the OH as parents are busy asking other typical questions that everyone already knows.

mummy's cooking is healthy. as long as kids enjoy, putting on a little weight during the holidays is fine.

Not always! I am making bacon fried rice for my boys - i don't think that is very healthy at all just maybe less unhealthy than a commercial version.
