Anyone received a call or an e-mail from ICS?

It is almost the end of the month and I still hear nothing from ICS kinder, worrying of no interview chance!

Anyone know the approx. monthly schoolbuss fee from Kowloon (Homantin) to ICS (Fo Tan) and any Kowloon R1/R2 PM kids requiring schoolbus this year?  I called the schoolbus company and submitted the schoolbus registration form already, and they said they could only try to arrange a schoolbus for the whole Kowloon area (?) for PM class to Fo Tan and limit the transportation time within one hour (!).....because they don't have schoolbus for Kowloon.

newmama0724,
If they only accept 60 kids for 4 classes, that means there will have 15 kids each class? Am I right? The proportion for the teachers and the kids are quite ok!
Actually, I'm not so sure  ...

Actually, I'm not so sure about the chinese lady (new principle?)who take the interview with me. Just by guess! Anyway, do you know the time for their AM session? I can not find the routine from their website. Sorry! many question!

a196671,

Nice to meet you too!

Not really actually!

I heard that they will accept 60 kids. Two classes in the morning and two in the afternoon, so I GUESS there should be 20 each class!

you've met the new principle? I didn't have this chance in the interview.

What's the name of the new principle?

You seems quite familiar with ICS kinder's situation. Do you know how many kids in a class? The new kinder principle looks  experienced and quite nice to the parents. It is the first time we met her during interview.

Hi, nice to meet you !

I feel so lucky that my girl get a place.
There are only two classes I guess the chance of being classmate is very high!

We withdrew our application finally, coz' we found out shortly before the interview that the school bus service doesn't really serve our district for such a little kid.  We may apply again for Pre-grade 1.

Finished the interview yesterday.
My daughter is not so attentive. I guess the chance is very slim.

How about yours?

My son's interview is scheduled for next Monday (14.2).  I was told it's a group interview, perhaps something like the circle time.  Parents may stay for a while though they are encouraged to leave once the kids are ready.  The interview will take around 30 - 40 mins.
