We went to Taiwan for Xmas and came back very late last night, and found the invitation letter from ESF. Very nice Xmas present! My tour is scheduled at 4pm 3rd of March. We live in Tung Chung and my boy will probably take shuttle bus next year. Hope to see you in the tour.

You can check with the "Kwoon Chung Motors Company Ltd" at 2578-1178. I asked them for ESF Sheung Wan bus fee, they only charge around $3K per 3-month service on island side.

作者: fidellau 時間: 07-12-27 22:37

I don't think that would be such expensive. I checked with Kwoon Chung, from Gold Coast to Tsing Yi just 1,200 per month.

作者: Mammy-Peggy 時間: 07-12-28 09:28

My boy has got an offer too.

By the way, are there any other fees for extra-curriculum activities apart from the $4800?

作者: ystai 時間: 07-12-28 14:39

Dear all,

I also received inviation letter from ESF.

At the same time we are waiting for the result from the Hong Kong Preschool in Kowloon Tong.

Does anyone apply both local and international kindergarten?? How would you choose and can you share your reasons??

作者: ystai 時間: 07-12-31 10:29 標題: 回覆 #2 fidellau 的文章

dear fidellau：

可以與我分享你選擇esf的原因嗎？

聽説今年cwb victoria的學生很多，每班差不多接近30名學童，esf的情況是否會相對來説算是小班教學呢？

我們的計劃是明年在cwb victorica或qy esf讀一年K1，然後就報考另一間is學校（sis：他們是K2才開始招生的），假若sis錄取的話，那我們就會為孩子轉校；但萬一考不上的話，我們就會繼續在所屬學校繼續升讀。

因此，無論日後是否轉校成功與否，我們都不想馬虎，希望現在就為孩子選擇一所較理想的學校。

希望各位家長可以提供任何有關上述兩所學校的正面和負面意見或提議，謝謝。

Happy New Year....

作者: OKmom 時間: 07-12-31 12:31

There is a sheet attached to my invitation letter, it tells the process all ESF kindys follow to determine offers. It says all applications are assigned a random priority number in their appropriate category, and applications are then allocated their session from the highest priority number in each category group , alternately allocated morning and afternoon sessions. Unplaced applications will remain in their place of order, and becoming a waiting list. If any successful applications reject the offers, these unfilled places will be offered to those applications according to their position in the waiting list.

我見到有家長話收到waiting list信, 但係我地就冇所以先問下, 同埋我想知會唔會同交報名表o既時間有關架?? 因為其實我地都幾遲交, 差唔多10月尾

作者: OKmom 時間: 07-12-31 17:35

It says all applications received during the month of October are assigned a random number within their appropriate category, a list will be generated. Applications received after the deadline will be placed at the end of the above list according to the order of receipt dates within their appriopriate category. It also says that by 21st December 2007, all kindergartens will have mailed invitations to successful candidates.

Since your application was submitted within the month of October, date of receipt is not a factor here. I think it is the random number that matters, it is only a lucky draw.

I don't know why ESF TY sent out waiting list letters, but ESF SW only sent out the invitation letters so far. School tour is on 24Jan 2008 for ESF SW, there will be a few days for the parents to make decision, after that they will send out invitation to waitlist candidates if there are any unfilled places.

cky2006,

It doesn't mention any relationship between the date of school tour and the assignment of session. But it does mention that they will allocate sessions by starting with the highest priority number in each category group, then ALTERNATELY allocated morning and afternoon sessions.

I don't know the class size of ESF TY, but the class size of ESF SW is around 22. I think class size of ESF kindys should more or less the same.

Not much idea of learning habitat. Regarding ESF kindy, i think most parents who chose them are aiming for a place in ESF primary.

ESF kindy students are given higher priority to grant an interview but they are not guaranteed places in ESF primary, they still need to pass the interview. As long as your children speak fluent English and given a chance for interviews, they will have no problem to get into their primary. BTW, woodland preschools are good schools.

Yes, I have been to ESF SW school tour last Thurs. They offer us AM session, it is randomly assigned before your visit, and it is already stated in the contract which is given to your during your visit.

During the visit, a group of parents walked around the campus, and the principal gave us a brief introduction of their school and curriculum. We have a week to make decision whether to accept it or not. If you accept it, you need to sign the contract and return it to them together with a cheque of $9600.

Can any mummies share their experience in school coaches arrangement for first two weeks' settling in period? I've talked to the new school bus company - 楊美莉旅運，asked about if the accompanying adult can also take the school coach with the child during the first two weeks settling in period but their answer is parent can only take the school coach on the first day only. For the rest of the week-days, parent has to go to school by themselves. In other words, I'll have to go to school with my daughter by other transportation instead of school coach from the second school day. As it is expected that my daughter will cry when she has to get on the school coach by herself on the 2nd day to school without mummy. I'm puzzling if it is good to do like what I have thouht i.e. going to school with my daughter by other transportation to school on the second school day. If so, my daughter might also cry when she has to go on the school coach by herself after the settling in period. Can any mummies share their experience?

作者: katguan 時間: 08-7-14 15:00

In your case, I will suggest you don't use the school bus for the first month if possible. Because in the first two weeks in Sept., the children will only go to school on the alternate days, which means only 3 days in the first week and 2 days in the second week, depending which group you are assigned to, so it should be cheaper to send the child to school by yourself, and easier for the child to settle in.

Only my oppinion.

Welcome! It's so great to find 4 kids in Dinosaur a.m. session here. I've not ordered school uniform yet. I'm wondering if need to hand in the order form to the supplier, or, we can go direct to their office without submitting order form? I want to go there with my daughter as I want to make sure the size is right for her. I'll buy short sleeve t-shirt, skort, school bag and cap for summer. I'll only buy jacket and vest around end Oct when getting close to autumn.

I've called the supplier, they said we need to go to the shop to buy the uniform. They said except the school bag which will be available in the middle of August, the rest of the uniform will be available right away. They also suggest us to bring the child along to try the uniform and shoes.

Hi mother30,

Welcome! It's so great to find 4 kids in Dinosaur a.m. session here. I've not ordered school uniform yet. I'm wondering if need to hand in the order form to the supplier, or, we ca ...

You are welcome. I can see it's not a easy decision to make in your case. I'm also a full time mom and also considering working later, but I havn't made up my mind yet. My son has been going to nursary for a year already so hopefully it's easier for him to settle in ESF.

Hi Katguan,

Thanks for your opinion. It can be an option. However, I'm still considering if I will start working in Sept. Currently, I'm a full time mom as I quited my job since Aug 2007 for my da ...

Hi katguan,

Thanks for checking out about the uniform. My daughter will only start her summer holiday next week. So, we'll go to the supplier the following week.

Similar as your son, my daughter has been to nursery class for one year. However, I doubt that she can be easily settling in the new school due to the new environment and teacher's new faces. I have ever mentioned about taking school bus to school later on. She almost burst into tears as she used to go to school by mini bus with the maid and I'll pick her up after school. So, she is relunctant to the change. I'm worrying

my girl also attended nursery class for the last 6 months, she is much happier after attending school. i plan to take her to visit ESF Kinder at Tsing Yi (even just the outskirt) a few times to get her familiarized with the surrounding, hoping that at such she can settle in a bit easier in sept.

Hi bbjan,

Good suggestion, thanks! Are you living in Tsing Yi? Since we are living in Tsuen Wan, I think I'll only take my daughter to Tsing Yi to see her new kinder 1-2 times before the official school visit on Aug 26.

Hi fidellau,

My daughter is also in Group B of Dinosaur AM session. Will you accompany your son to school for the first two weeks? Yes, the school bus is quite expensive. I expect it's around HK$800 but as I said before there is no choice.

I also think it's good to have a gathering before school starts so that our kids will get to know each other before the official school visit on Aug 26. If so, when they see each other again on Aug 26, they will keep in mind that when going to this new school, they will see those familiar faces of their new friends. I hope it will alleviate their anxiety so helping in the settling in period. May I suggest to meet some time around mid-Aug so that the kids won't forget each other when school starts in Sept.

I bought the uniform last month. The saleslady is very
experienced that she will tell u what the must-buy items
are and how many sets of uniform u would need.
However the shop is very very small, so those full-time mom may check with the shop to avoid the peak hours.

I'm also a full-time mom. We may have a lunch gathering at Maritime Square eg. Spxx House, so the kids can play outside before or after, and get used to the surroundings of their kinder.

That's a good idea to meet there....

I won't accompany my son for the 1st 2 weeks schooling. My maid would be the one who brings him to school as usual....so I dun want to disorder the habit....
