ESF CAT2 K2學生會否落第ESF Primary?

FennieMan

You are very honest!  That's what i think parents should do!   unfortunately, as i know some of the parents will lie their kids only speak/understand in English!  what's a shame!

I was really shocked coz I just got the call from KJS that my daughter who is now studying in TY K2 will not be offered a place at KJS despite I got an elder one now studying at KJS !!

oh sad to hear about it.  At this moment, i think it's necessary to take action for back up plan if you haven't earlier.  Try other IS still open for application or some IS kindergarten that has K3 (such as NIS, Tutor Time, ad YMCA) may be? If switch to local stream is also an option, may be also try not so popular local kinder that for K3? All the best!!

我報ESF WKS就係這個原因,希望攞張入場券去RC,但又知道RC都收其他Kinder的学生,会不会ESF WKS的Cat2学生机会反而比別人低,究竟esf有無priority to RC?

你的分析都唔錯，不如講下我個實例，我小朋友係讀RC, 同班同學大半都係esf kinder上，而我仔仔係st cat k2，佢地同學全部都要2次interview 甚至3次，更有部份收reject，但我小朋友反而只係1次。你話esf kinder會唔會有特別優勢對於RC來說。據我仔仔入讀RC後理解，RC跟別的esf primary收生標準係稍有不同。佢地要小朋友達到程使度要求，同時英文程度不要太低，即係話有d似考本地直資或私校一樣 要求小朋友素質。 反覆思考，點解esf kinder 的學生多數要2次或以上，絕可能係esf kinder是遊戲成份居多，著重愉快 自由學習。但local kinder就學術著重，RC似乎較接受後者。同時 我也知RC老師會每年定期揀選某幾間local kinder去考察 看看他們程度和上課表現。我希望 我的分享可以幫到大家，想入esf kinder 而只係ｃａｔ２小朋友，你們的投注贏的機會是很小。

Studying in ESF kinder only gives u priority in interview. Whether ur kid got accepted depends on their interview performance.  So, even if ur kid is studying in ESF kinder, the parent has to keep up the standard of the kid so as to get a seat fr any ESF primary. For sending teachers to kinders for observation prior interview, it is a common known practice. As long as applications fr the kinder is over 10 or 12 (exact no. Forgotten), the ESF primary will send teachers to that kinder no matter it's local or int'l kinders.

cfaye, thanks for your advice.
我都有bbmama同一樣憂慮 ...
基本上我好同意你嘅講法, 我亦知道RC好睇interview表現, 但好似你話你小朋友果班入面有大半係from esf kindy, no matter佢interview左幾多次啦, 始終係收左大半班, 咁其實照咁睇個percentage rate, from esf kindy 嘅小朋友係有d 優勢喎 .....

I agree, thats why I would regard Renaissance as an "international style" local school.

Why would ESF manage 2 different kinds of schools, the regular ESF schools and PIS schools like Renaissance and Discovery, why not keep them all the same? The obvious reason is to serve different markets.

While the regular ESF schools target mainly ex-pat families (including Hongkong families with foreign status), PIS schools would aim at local families. The attitudes and expectations of these two kinds of "customers" are different.

優勢? 睇你點睇件事,  你讀esf kinder條出路真係好狹窄, 你話要突然轉呔話想考番本地直資私校機會跟本好細,(若家長不完全依賴學校教育者例外) . 但你係讀緊出面本地kinder, 你考番RC又唔見得輸晒, 還可能比esf kinder學生有優勢 , 當然英語水平都要達標才行). 回頭望, 真係不少同路人讀完esf k2考唔到esf 學校, 要出番去讀本地k3. 所以做家長而準備入國際學校的真是要衡量可承擔的風險.

其實係囉！我大仔果陣都係抱住咁既心態，考唔到咪讀返原校既K3 囉！結果佢考到RC!

bigbighei

我報ESF WKS 都係一樣！而且佢地入學前，我問過上年既畢業生既家長，差不多九成都入到RC/SJC 所以我地先讀，但唔知點解今年會咁差！

sorry typo in previous msg ....
我同你一樣，都係諗住入唔到RC就出去讀k3, 但都要take risk 到時唔知仲有冇K3肯收生。

你講中唒我嘅憂慮，所以都一直煩惱緊同唔同個仔轉讀esf kindy 好。唉。

其實我有啲朋友教我，而家好揾定多一間傳統幼稚園讀K2 返多半日學做back up plan, 如果真係入唔到IS 咪可以係果間讀返K3 既話！小朋友都唔會跟唔上！

Really thanks for your sharing!!

我都有同事咁樣教我，不過太辛苦了！
