GSIS Y8 2024/2025 entrance

CorMa

各位媽媽👩 我雖然收到通知話小朋友成功通過 Y8 assessment tests,但係冇firm offer。焦慮中, Y8 係咪就算考到都未必入到架？

唔知佢哋多唔多人走呢？

Overall there are more international schools now and hence more vacancies. However there are more locals applying as well to evade DSE. Generally speaking if you have foreign passport it’s easy to get a spot but for locals, it’s still not as easy to get in your desired school due to more applicants.
There should be more mainland families now but the overall rate is 3% in GSIS (by passports). Actually there are more HK families now and they are really lucky, in the past it’s very difficult for locals to get into kindergarten and lower primary.

At least in business sectors, it is undeniable fact there are much less expats. So this should drive competition for international schools spaces less intense.

Are there more mainland families now?

好奇一問，其實而家好多expats都離開咗香港,應該少咗外國人讀,係咪比以前易啲入㗎？

One more thing, based on my observation, someone might be leaving in year 11 to go for sixth form in uk or US boarding school, quite a few of them left back then. But that could be too late to switch from local to international for the teens. They might treasure the friendships more

My child graduated more than 4 years ago. I recalled in year 8, there were like 3-4 new students , out of total cohort size of around 60 kids. The graduation cohort was less than that.

有冇小朋友收到學校嘅消息呀？

如果都唔喜歡本地的模式，當然早D轉好，將慳返來做功課準備考試的時間去social, 睇書運動玩音樂都更好。

你應該在你自己小朋友角度稔，短期要佢轉來轉去好唔好？另外本身想本地定國際。

就係g7以最好的幾間國際為目標
但擔心喺本地讀完五年級先，就變咗個人的mindset 越嚟越local，讀書方式亦好唔同
所以仲有些少時間，中間需要踏腳石，先拉近距離嗎

這樣熱門的學校沒有必要只盯著一間考

謝謝回覆。咁我又請教下，如果未咁快升y7, 應該先由本地轉去一間易啲入嘅國際適應一段時間再轉，還是直接由本地轉去? (會唔會好似見工咁覺得too jumpy?) Provided that 英文本身fluent 但未夠native
嚟自邊間學校有分別嗎? 還是主要睇個人本身?

多謝你哋嘅回覆深感十級滿分難度高，唯有做足心理準備無緣 2024/2025 入Y8， 只求小朋友出年都可以順利Pass哂D入學試，再輪過2025/2026 Y9
唉！不過越高年級要求又會高D 。

If only one vacancy, top middle or bottom makes no difference

Yes you can ask them, I asked and they told me we are in the middle. They wouldn’t tell you the exact number but will let you know if you are at the top middle or bottom.

始終要等到三月尾，leavers通知學校，聽聞原來舊年Y8得一個插班位。

又過咗大半個月啦繼續苦候中，唔知有冇媽媽已經收到喜訊呢？好想向學校詢問一下自己在waiting list實在排第幾個，唔知校方會唔會告知我哋架呢？
有冇家長都有問過學校呢？

咁講即係如plan 中學由local 轉國際就唔好等小學畢業，讀完本地p5 就過去升y7  ...

如果可以當然Y7入最好，例如Y7係GSIS由K1-Y13咁多年最易入的一年，識好多人由幼稚園到小學一直考都fail/waiting, 到Y7就入到了, Y8要等人走才有位，因為剛剛Y7已收滿。
