Reception 2017 有600個申請。頭300會在11月要求交school report. Year 1 都有2百幾人申請, 要等2~3年。

Just wondering if your little did get into reception 2017? Is the interview difficult to pass? Many thanks! Also can anyone share the level of Chinese at Kellet ? Is it very minimal ? Thanks !!

minimal, 3 lessons per week

Other than minimal Chinese, is the academic standard high at Kellet?

哦原來系咁。不過讀得國際學校都唔會對中文程度有咩期望咯，都系打算靠自己外補架喇。 ...

Wondering if your little ones have started in Kellet reception or not? Just wondering if you have any comments on the school. Seems asians would be the minority but I guess it should not be an issue.

Yes very few Asians. In a class of 22 there are only 2 Chinese and by this I mean 華人 not mainlande ...

Thanks for your comments! Yes seldom see Chinese faces indeed when I browse through their website/fb. In fact, am
not really concerned with mingling with expats (as I have been working  alongside many of them anyway)- just not sure if being the minority will be sort of discriminated against. Hahah perhaps I am thinking too much. Wow it's really incredible that K2 students need to write such complicated characters!!! Btw did your little one need to go through an interview to get into Kellet? If going to a local kindy (perhaps like Victoria or think), would it be sufficient to go through the interview?

No they didn't have to go through an interview. Perhaps it's because I got my kids' after school Eng ...

Thanks indeed for your honest comments. Very useful to get a peek into what it may be like joining kellet! What you said is indeed Very similar to my experience with expats in HK (some of them really don't venture outside HK island  while some are very localised). Good to know that most parents are nice. Re the curriculum, is reception activity based and how's the discipline of the children? Many thanks again for any insights/comments!

Regarding discipline, I would say it is stricter than schools following the US curriculum (I don't h ...

Thanks for the sharing again! Good to know. I quite like Kellet personally - just finger crossed to see if we may stand a chance when my boy reaches 4. We applied when he's 2 to 3 months old. Anyway we are now facing a more imminent problem of securing a kindy first. Still not sure if we shoudl put him in an English one (like anfield) or bilingual ones like Kingston/Vic.

I was also told that Kellet academic is actually behind other British curriculum schools, which mean ...

Really? Do you know if your source is reliable? Just been told that Kellet is indeed very British - hence easier to adapt to U.K. Schools if I send my little one to boarding school when he has reached year 9 or 10. Academically would it be stronger than esf? Seems it is not academically strong as CIS or GSIS I guess.

Got it - does your source also reveal whether ESF schools may be more or less on par with private boarding schools in UK than Kellet??
