ESF Wu Kai Sha Kindergarten Bulletin

See this notice for ESF WKS Kindergarten :

Several meetings have been conducted over these past few weeks which gave us an ideal opportunity to meet with many parents interested in securing
a place for their child in the Wu Kai Sha indergarten. All those invited had already submitted an application form and been allocated a place so it was good to meet ‘face-to-face’ and begin the process of getting to know our future parents better.

It was our pleasure to confirm the good news for parents of 2005 born children [who would be due to start kindergarten as a K2 student]... Those
children will have priority for an interview in either an ESF Foundation Primary School, or an ESF Private Independent College. The rule requiring two terms attendance in kindergarten before the January 2010 interviews for Year One will be waived for such children.

Following the successful meetings, an opportunity was given to all parents to visit ESF's International Kindergarten in Tsing Yi, because of course Wu Kai
Sha is still in the process of development.

It was rewarding to receive so many flattering comments about the Tsing Yi kindergarten and to know that parents felt their time was very well spent.

Questions were raised about the completion of the Lake Silver development, and it is ESF’s understanding that the occupation permit for the
whole building is due in May. That is the point when ESF will commence its own internal fit-out, and all is currently on schedule .

Many families have also signed contracts, so it is indeed heartening that places are beginning to fill up.
Applications will however continue to be received, so please pass this information on to friends, colleagues or relatives!

Any interested parties should call Mr Dinesh Daswani on 2760 3913. The newly appointed Principal, Marilyn Clark will be in Hong Kong next term, so an invitation to meet her will be extended to all those who have already signed contracts. Her biography is being posted alongside this up-date so that everyone can celebrate the wonderful news of her appointment.

Thanks for your clarification!
500 is quite a large no.
Currently there are only 11 ESF primary schools (exclude Jockey Club but include RC and DC). Amongst them will be 2 to 5 classes of year 1 per  ...

Some Cat 2 students in ESF Kinder don't have interview at all this year, so you have to understand ESF is built for Cat 1 students, and priority will be:

1. Cat 1 students (with sibling, study in ESF kinder, ESF staff's kid, etc)

2. Other Cat 1 students (also include corporate surety program for overseas expat's kid)

3. Cat 2 students (with sibling, study in ESF kinder, ESF staff's kid, etc)

4. Cat 2 students (other)

So this year only 1 or 2 has chance to interview, even many Cat 1 student has to wait. So for 3 & 4 either you are very lucky to be in school placement zone that has lesser Cat 1, or you have to wait from now to Aug, to see if there is anyone drop out......
