Yau_Cheung,

You see me through!!  If I accept the offer now and apply DBSPD later, am I right???  Or I should let my boy carry on his K3 then go thru the battle for P1?

BTW, my boy is from Victoria( ...

It's not difficult to choose.  If I were you, I would select RC and apply DBSPD later.  I think the get in chance to DBSPD is higher if your boy is studying in RC compared with Victoria kin.  Unluckily, if your son cannot get in DBSPD, you don't need to join the "P1 battle".  Besides, RC is also a good school.

But most of kids will like RC more than DBSPD.  I think it is the only concern.

"fall into deep thought" - what is your concern?  I think RC is absolutely better than X Kin or X primary.  If you want to try DBS or SPCC, I think you would "fall into ...

Thinking about ESF or RC???
When is the deadline for decision making???

For RC is Feb 23 (I guess apply for all), and for other ESF I think the interview process is not finished yet.

Radiomama,Why are you in deep thought? considering RC v.s. another ESF school?

For Year 1 applicants, what you said may be true, however, for applicants at other year levels, paying HKD 800 just give the applicant a chance of taking the writtent assessment.  The applicant will have an interview only if the same pass the written assessment.

Many people don't even get a chance of interview at ESF schools like SJS but for RC only if you applied for it at a cost of HKD800 you would definitely get a chance of interview. Many people know SJS is good but it's a matter of the student categorization policy that hinders them.

From what I know RC was opened in 2006. There shouldn't be much track records of the academic performance for RC students.

May I ask the reasons why you choose RC? is it because of :

For those who applied ESF via ESF Center, RC & DC are not on the list as they are PIS. So if you have applied ESF mostly will apply on both side. For those in Shatin normally they will go interview at SJS & RC. But since for normal ESF like SJS they will give priority to Cat 1 first so Cat 2 students have to wait.

But RC doesn't have that tight restriction and so they interview more children from all around HK. Just my understanding. See this:

Though in the past people think to get in RC is easier, I guess over the years it is become harder as RC is more famous than before now.

May I ask the reasons why you choose RC? is it because of :
- the very nice hardware such as the school campus.
- International school which taught Traditional Chinese.
- one student one computer policy of RC

I have been chatting with the children/ parents after the RC interview. Bascially the children loves RC, nearly all of them want to come back to RC again & even don't mind going to RC everyday but not the other BIG SCHOOL(other ESF schools).  ???

When I browse through the bus route on the RC web site. Apparently I think Ma On shan is quite a remote area for most of the family. Can you share the reasons why you choose RC rather than other ESF school.

u are correct..i made a calculation mistake...capacity for primary is 900, 900/6=150 per year...

jjd

Currently, there are only 5 classes in year 1 and the number of kids in each class is only 2X.  Unless they have told you that an additional class will be opened and the number of kids in each class will be increased to 30, there shouldn't be 180 places in year 1.
