無foreign passport 真係好難入到 IS？入到都係因為買了debenture

感覺今年突然多左人報IS，local passport 新界區競爭尤其大。我小朋友English medium kindergarten K1讀起，英文已經native, 但未識寫字，今年考year 1, 暫時1 reject, 1間無得in，1間等緊interview, 另外三間未有消息。

No, but the schools I applied are competitive, one of them is ESF

我就係考左一間超深嘅，連自己幼稚園學生都fail嘅IS. 結果我現在要每晚陪佢寫字，因為學校根本冇教。但呢間幼稚園曾經係SJS feeder school, 如今連RC都無份。只能說是命運吧！

No, Anfield Primary has not done their interview for year 1 yet.

RC is Renaissance College.The picky school accepts 90% of their kindergarten kids to primary. Very difficult for outsiders to get in their preparatory class (equivalent to year 1 at ESF). I just apply to try my luck.

No, they said on the application website that they will only select suitable candidates for interview. Of those I know who are offered interviews in October (applying pregrade 1), all come from English medium kindergartens. The assessment fee is paid only upon an offer of interview.

謝謝你的詳細回覆。ICS幼稚園仲遠過小學，所以我沒有考慮。同樣我也沒有為了考ESF而入WKS KG。我相信休息對小朋友是十分重要的，如果每日搭長途車來回返放學，對小朋友的發展始終不利。

Grade 1? Admission officer 話根本無位，報了也無得interview. 我是說實話，希望不要介意⋯⋯

Thank you! One reason I did not apply kindergartens in MOS is that we have no maid at home. I need grandparents to help in the commute. That’s why I’ve chosen the kindergarten next to my door. And my target primary is a 10 mins drive from home too. Fingers crossed for the interview...

係, 所以我覺得搵咩學校都係一個尋求平衡的過程, 有人覺得入到一間鍾意的學校, 要比 debenture 都可以接受, ...

我諗部分家庭係有經濟考慮，畢竟俾超過一個小孩的debentures並唔簡單。不過綜合轉去IS stream一年半的經驗，我覺得付出嘅並唔係錢咁簡單...要適應學校多數是full time mum而自己卻是working mum的情況，要同西人傾in-depth嘅偈，全家講中文但同個仔要講英文，上興趣班係全英語，連聽電台同iphone language都改左做英文...我d中文真係差左，唔係講笑！不過條IS路係個仔自己揀，我都好高興可以同佢同行！
