2007 children should apply in September. It should be noted that the primary schools would be very oversubscribed.
PIS schools have to admit at least 50% children of local HK residents, you may have a better chance with PIS schools.
All fees are listed on their website. As a matter of fact, all international schools list their tuition fees and debentures on their website. You can check there. For ESF: www.esf.edu.hk

謝謝兩位回覆。
因我們住九龍區，ESF兩間PIS對相變得偏遠，其實都聽聞這機構的IS非常多申請，但都希望一試。
再請問，讀IB將來如果留港升大學的情況如何？定或只有出外留學一條路？

Please find the link below. IB DP students can get into local universities via the Non-Jupas path. In fact, more than 40% of RC (one of the PIS) DP graduates last year entered into local U .
However, please be reminded that IB MYP woud take U to nowhere , it is not even considered as completion of secondary.

If you are in Cat 2 and your child is not in one of the ESF kindergarten, your chances of getting into BHS and KJS is near 0. You really would have a better chance in getting into Renaissance. There are schoolbuses running all over Kowloon to Renaissance.

this year RC got over 600 applicants compete for 150 seats!
what do u think?
RC not going after Category system. they give the priority to ESF kinder. However, even my kid is in ESF kinder, I don't have an offer this year.

that is why, by the time that u r sending ur kid into esf kinder and decide to try esf primary, pls make sure that ur kid is or will be a Cat 1 before he/she get an offer. that is what my daughter's school advice us. btw, my daughter is a K2 in ESF hillside.

honestly, except you are in Cat 1. Otherwise, ESF Kinder students are not gaurantee to ESF Primary 
作者: FennieMan 時間: 11-2-9 22:21
That's not true! This year BHS and KJS took alot of kids from outside ESF kinders, even those kids are in Cat 2, yes, their parents were HK Chinese!
They been offer the seats before the kids who studying in ESF Kinder (of couse i'm talking about both are on Cat. 2).
For RC this year, a lot of kids in ESF kinders has been rejected offer a seat for them, even not on waiting list.
Some of the ESF kinder kids, only have a waiting list at SJS/BHS/KJS, but rejected by RC.

yes, if ur kid is not a Cat 1 and is not in ESF kindergartens, u might not have any chance to have an interview.
作者: lottieclee 時間: 11-2-10 09:02
By the sound of it, it's even worse than last year!
Being in an ESF kindy only gives priority with interview, but not guarantee a place.
konimama, I wouldn't worry too much about not getting a seat in the ESF system. You will probably get one in the 3rd or 4th round. Frances is usually pretty good at helping families out. However, it may not be SJS.

However, learnt from a parent, her son had no offer last year. Finally gotta repeat K2.......

My daughter is from Abacus as well. May I know your result of SJS? and is RC your first target?
I did heard that they will have 2nd, 3rd rounds, try to talk to your class teacher and don't miss the rounds coming, and Bless you!

In case chance of entering esf primary is so slim, would you still recommend esf kiddy?
I 'm considering ESF Tsing Yi in the hope to go to KJS. My other option is Anfield which is closer to home.
Grateful if some of you would comment

As far as I know, no Anfield kids have interview chance at of this moment this year. To play safe, you are better to choose ESF kinder.
KJS is easier to get a place than BHS as past record. So you can try try.

Thank you 可愛小肥媽 !!
Do you know why KJS is easier to get in? Is it because kids in BHS have better conduct.
We will very likely choose esf kinddy esp after your advice.
作者: homummum 時間: 11-2-10 12:34
hi, Hylda.
If your target school is ESF primary, of course it is better to send your kid into a ESF kinder. But you have to understand the admission policy of ESF that a year 1 place is not guaranteed. For my gal, who is a cat. 2 pupil studying in ESF Tsing Yi, she got no interview offer from KJS due to the over-subscription from Cat.1 kids. Luckily, she got an offer from RC. So, I will go for RC and wait for news from KJS (maybe it takes years before an offer is given).
For cat.2 kids applying BHS, the situation is better as they at least have an interview chance.
作者: konimama 時間: 11-2-10 13:25
SJS? no offer at all. They said unable to offer the place in 2011.

ESF primary application is based on living zone. According to sharing with other mummy these few years, the subscription of KJS is much less than BHS so the chance to get a place is higher

KJS has 5 classes while BHS has 3 only, would it be the reason for better chance to get in?
I don't think the conduct would be bad for both schools. I only know BHS should have more Chinese and KJS has more Indians.

Yes, ESF primary application is based on living zone. But this year most of the Cat.2 kids and some Cat. 1 kids in Tsing Yi, got no interview offer from KJS due to the over-subscription from Cat.1 kids. Cause this year the catchment zone for KJS is cover Tung Chung and Ma Wan. So, you can tell how many western kids will apply for KJS.
For cat.2 kids applying BHS, at least have an interview chance.

I know Frances is on leave but I thought she said she is coming back after Easter, I don't know whether Alex can help you. But like other parents say, talk to your class teacher.
I have known at least 2 Cat 1 students who has been asked to repeat K2 in ESF because they don't think his social skills were mature enough to be in P1. So repeating K2 doesn't apply to Cat 2 students only.

The competition between KJS and BHS depends on how many cat 1 applicants they get in each school every year. There are more seats available in KJS P1 than BHS P1, making it easier to get in sometimes. It doesn't really matter which school they go to, students from both school end up in KGV for secondary anyways.

我仔不是cat 1,也不是cat 2,不是讀ESF kinder,所以BHS連interview都沒有,RC有得in,但沒有offer.
ESF真的很難入.去年阿仔的師姐A(同我仔同一幼稚園,但大一年)有哥哥在KJS讀書的,都冇收,最後是今年己開學才做到插班生.
另一師姐B(又是同一幼稚園,但大一年)是持美國護照的(在美國出生),因11月才申請入學,故一直沒有位,最後是6月期間由Shatin Junior收了.
我們都是住同一屋苑的,是BHS的zone的.所以我知我仔入ESF的機會,其實是0.
大家俾心機,ESF KINDER的小朋友如果冇offer,有什麼打算嗎?

According to ESF:
Category One
Children who speak English as a first or alternative language but do not speak Cantonese and/or read and write Chinese characters.不是啦!我仔是地道香港人.
Category Two
Children who can access the local system but who also meet ESF's entrance requirements.
Within each category priority for interview will be given to students who:
- are siblings of children already attending an ESF school;沒有
- are attending an ESF Educational Services Ltd Kindergarten (for Year One only);不是
- are former students returning from a period overseas;不是
- have a parent who is a full-time employee of ESF;更不是,係就好
- are the children of former ESF students.不是

cfaye,
Oh really ? May I know which kindergarten or which type of kindergarten did these kids go to ?
I have heard that the competition of ESF P1 place is very keen in these 2 years. May I know the stuents whom you mentioned above applied ESF P1 in these 2 years or several years ago, and which ESF primary school did they go to ?
The situation changes every year and it depends on which school you are applying too.
Any responds to this post would be much appreciated !
