ESF Year One一位難求!

Looks like more foreigners (Cat 1) go to compete in ESF rather than more expensive school, like German-Swiss (those need debenture too), may be because of poor economic situation too.....

ESF Year One一位難求!
仲有幾多Cat 2家長只係Waiting List?
係咪早兩年經濟好多o左好多人爭??
乾等Round 2真冇癮…

雖然ryan下年先讀幼稚園, 但我己經知道好難入esf year one. 我打去esf問過, 佢地話競爭非常大.
我諗住都會apply以下is:

1. FIS
2. DC
3. KCIS
4. KIS
5. RC
睇下邊間收先算啦.

...

looks like you don't have any geographic concern on the school locations (since KCIS & FIS is in HK while RC is in Shatin).

But for me, if my kid (only less than 5 by Y1) need to travel more than 1 hour to the school daily by school bus (from TKO to RC in MOS takes more than 1 hour by school bus so total travel time in worst case is 3 hours per day) then I dobut about sending my kid to RC. But sometimes realistically we don't have too many choices........

我住香港島，如果入唔到ESF, 咁KCIS, FIS, KIS 我都好近。
如果RC 或DC收，咁就要搬屋。 咁東涌，馬鞍山樓呎價仲平過港島區，仲有機會換大間D.

You will move house when your kid got admit to diff primary school? This is why I said you have no geographical concern la  .... good luck anyway!

Just received an email message from SJS and so glad to know that she has been accepted by the school.  We have 2 weeks time to consider if we take this offer.

In other forums, most ESF said it will post admission letter out in early Feb. In NatMom case (congratulation to NatMom too) it may mean competition among IS in Shatin is keen too (SJS, RCHK, ICS, GSIS) so school like SJS start to take student first.... just my guess!

So do you know when was the 1st interview of SJS (Cat 1) started? And finished already?

I don't know if it's due to the keen competition.  But I know all SJS applicants will be informed by email today if they were accepted.

比心機等。我兒子也排了3年才等到sjs入讀P3，現在己是Y8了。看到他成績多好，當年慶幸沒有撰錯。邊讀邊等吧...............

yes, this is to those parents who are still waiting for ESF vacancies. I have friends whose daughter was in SC (now studying in overseas) but son who had a hard time studied in famous local school, has waited for ESF vacancies for so many years (regardless he has sibling in ESF), until now he ends up in RC and has a much happier life, for the kid himself, and for the whole family.
