Don't take on face value everthing said by the school. I believe what she means is that the school has received more than 64 applications now, but i doubt if they have started, let alone, finished the intake procedures. Based on past few years' experience, if you apply for 2014/15 PG now, you still don't stand a chance of securing an AM seat., but PM seat should not be a problem. Even if there are many ahead of you in the waiting list, many will give up if they are only offered PM seats.

As for K1, the first badge who have paid the levy are still in PN, but based on past expereince, about 1/3 will leave after PN, mostly to LS kinder when parents finally made the choice of LS route. Now, that percentage may drop a bit, but as i said, after you paid, it is a sunk cost. As far as i know, many parents have not given up the possibility of LS entirely. Also, some will try those dragon IS that offer K1 (e.g. HK academy, CDNIS, ICS etc).

The waitlist for KIngston is long, but not as long as rumoured here in EK.

Also, there are only 5 classes for K1 and K1 but with larger class, size, rough same number of students as PN

There are 3 P1 classes of 22 each. totalling 66. As i said in another thread, most PG parents do not take kingston primary as first choice and some will leave in PN or K1 anyway. I think everyone who gets in in PN can proceed ultimately to P1, if they wish to.

I heard there are some who applied in 2013 and got admitted and now in PG. Have you call the school and ask why?

I called the school every two months and each time they gave me different answers. Finally they said it's up to the principal to select the candidates and they have no say in it. I am wondering if it is not first come first serve, what other criteria can be. Since I've seen plenty of kids from my estate go to kingston, address should not be a question.

I am very sad to hear that the principle did select the pupils. Quite disappointed about it.

I know a kid currently studying PG there that the intake/interview was started in Jan and got the offer in Mar which was different from what the principle told me....
I am not a super big fan of Kingston, so just wait and see.  thx for the sharing
