ESF TY Welcome Pack

super8

Any ESF TY parents received the welcome pack?  My girl is in Whale PM class.  Any Whale parents here?

And how about the others?

super8

Just wonder why no response here though lots of discussion were here before regarding the admission and application of the ESF kinder.

So glad to know now I'm not alone.

I will go to the evening too.  Mummybear, will you take the school bus?

my son is in PM Dinosaur class class.  We will go to the parents evening on 17th June. See you there.

I'm still considering if only take one ride or none with the school bus.  Personally, I'll like my girl has one ride so to have more friends and happy time with them.  Let's see how much it costs and the time schedule.

Whale's play date is Aug 19.  Is that same as Dino's?

Hi, agree. find that very little ppl talk about the admission in TY site.  I will let my son to take school bus.  We live in Yau Yat Chuen. [/quote]

Oooray-u are all the times helpful here to those ESF or to-be ESF parents.  You did answer and provide valueable info to me in the past and surely you can cast a light to me in the future as well.  Thanks for your supports as always!

BTW, I thought your kid was moved on to ESF primary.  Never aware he/she is still with TY.  Your kid is in K2 now?  Enjoy the last month's kindergarten life!

As a current TY parent, i express my warm welcome to new parents.
It is strange that many parents discussed before but no one shows up here.
Maybe most of them are "Just Talking, No Action". [/quote]

Glad to know our kids are in the same class!  Will u take the school bus too?

Hi Super8

My son will be in Whale pm class as well !  see you on 17 June ! :)

super8

Oooray, good!!  And we can talk and share a lot more then.  May I know if the kid will remain with the teachers and classmates for both k1 and k2?  Or they will have new teachers and new friends in K2?

Good to have old friends around especially when the Y1 interview may start as soon as 3 months after K2 starts

i've just got a email telling me that the whole K1 class will be promoting to the same K2 class. That means most of classmates are old friends. Children are going to meet their new K2 teachers on Thu ...

lalasmile & mummybear,

As our kids will be in pm session starting from coming Aug, how will you arrange the afternoon nap for them?  Do they still need a nap now?  What is your planning?

yes, nice to meet you !

yes, we are planning to take the school bus. The trip should be short cos we are living at Tsuen Wan.

Hi mummybear,

My gal is in PM nursery currently as well and she has a 1.5 hr nap before going to the school (so she's always late for 15-30mins - but the school is not so strict on this for the 2 yr old class )

And I think I may have to change her time table similar to yours....have a nap after school and then have dinner with us and get to bed a bit late at around 10pm.

Let's see if this works when she starts her school

Hi lalasmile,

Yes.  Morning class is more easy to arrange and I did try to ask the school to change to a AM session but not successful.  

We all have to observe our kids and adjust the schudule for our kids later on....

Hi All K1 mummies,

Just curious - does the school have any criteria in grouping different kids in different classes?  Or just like a lucky draw?

Hi,

I want to apply the ESF kinder for my child. However, we're not in Cat 1 and no sibling is in ESF school.

Would anyone tell me what the chance of getting in ESF kinder is?

Thanks.

super8

vvnpo,

didn't check with you before, still not receive a call from TY up to now?  Thought a lot might have give up the place and you may still hv a chance, though i know you won't take it lar.

My child was in Cat1 and he didn't even has a chance for the play visit.  The queue was so long and we were advised to give up the place on waiting list.

mummybear, littlea and lalasmile,

See u there

vvnpo,

understood your case and it's really not bother to fill in the form and wait for luck again.

mummybear, littlea and lalasmile,

how was your day there in that evening?  My girl likes the school and the teacher a lot!!

She did not like being in Whale Class before going to school and now she's totally fine of being a Whale student.

Do hope she'll have a good start and happy time there in ESF.

How about your kids?

Hi all,  

How's TY's result this year for getting into ESF?

no, my girl can't speak cantonese.  Not so sure why they put her in Cat 2, maybe she is a chinese (from her name).

Hi CKKK,

ESF will release the result right after the play visit while the first round of play visit invitation letter will usually be sent between late Dec to early Feb.

Hope this help.
