Getting into top government schools is dependent on lucky draw.   There is small 5% places allocated to cross areas.   So kindergarten does not matter.   Most top government schools operate elite classes.  

Getting into private schools requires luck and interview performance.  Does kindergarten matters?   Probably.

Getting in is one thing and surviving is another.   Here is story of 2 kids attending the same top government school.   Kid A comes from famous kindergarten and the other from average kinder.   Kid A is top 3 of the class.  Kid B start school year struggling and had to take remedial classes.  Kid B's parent were told the kid had learning difficulties.  Kid B now takes after school outside remedial classes to keep up.  

Another story of 2 kids, similarly from different kinders, one famous and the other average, and now attending top government school.  Former kid is in the top bunch and other near the bottom.   

Getting in is just part of equation.  Surviving the 6 years is other.  

Even government schools need to keep their reputations by producing be students to band 1 secondary schools.

Interest classes are not so important, kids are still very young.   My girl went to several but my boy none so far, will take up swimming soon.

Sure, DSS /PS will take kids from average kinders, search the forums and you can find some mum provide this information.

If it's the case that both students are of similar level, then the name of the KG will also matter because it shows how much (money+effort) the parents are willing to pay. In Hong Kong, background and ...

If that is the case then students at York, which probably charges the most fee and do most outside activities, should do very well.
