We received the interview letter from ESF KJS today. What should we prepare?

I think you might have confused KJS with ESF kinder. KJS is an ESF primary school. They DO expect your child to be fluent in English during the interview for their primary schools, and that's about all they want to find out.

Referring to some previous post, there is no formal interview at ESF Kinder. The children just play there as a playgroup. They don't expect you to speak fluent English too cos cat 2 kids don't speak E ...

Thanks, Maria! He's having a good time at his school. We're glad to have sent him through the IS route, certainly beats having to deal with all the pressure and homework in the local schools.

我都剛剛收到interview letter, 但係 for waitlist place, 現在好擔心! 有冇家長都係咁?

My child is applied for QBS.

We went for an interview for a waitlist last year too at CWBS, and were eventually offered a place before the summer (but we declined because we chose another IS already). There's still a good chance you'll get a place in the end if your child pass the waitlist interview.

highfive,
is your child from esf kindergarten? or is she/he in cat1?
because all the esf kindergarten cat 2 students were placed on the waitlist and they had no chance to be invited even for the int ...

No, he's not fom any ESF kinder. I believe he should be in Cat 2 because we clearly indicated in the application form that both parents speak Cantonese although we put English as his first language because it is the language he's most fluent in and it was the language we spoke to him at home (not anymore as we're trying to make him speak more Cantonese). That was last year though.

Hi Highfive

Did you receive the waitlist interview letter at the same time of the 1st round interview letters? Are you in Cat 2?

Thanks

I can't remember exactly when we received the letter anymore, but I remember the interview was in mid January. For the Cat 2 question, please refer to my previous posts.
