Interested to know about vic. Elder daughter at esf primary so won't need esf kg for priority. But heard the esf primary is very competitive and may need a stronger case to get in nowadays.

Thinking if should stay vic kg for better Chinese (younger one starting vic pn in Aug)

ESF is a larger "group" with more schools. There are different "options" for students in upper secondary (e.g. IB vs BTEC, different classes available in different schools). It is an understanding that students can request to switch to other schools if your choice of classes are not available at your school. For example, students can switch to another school for BTEC if BTEC is not available at their school.
With 5 foundation secondary schools plus 2 PIS, we have a larger alumni group and thus have stronger alumni support and connections. A lot of alumni are willing to support students in other ESF schools.
ESF is a more "western" community. Even at STC where the majority are chinese, we are still more western.
All ESF primary schools are IB schools. Note that IB have strong emphasis in a "second language" and all ESF schools offer Chinese as a second language. So the chinese curriculum is now much stronger than 10 or 15 years ago.

Victoria used to be a "happy school" but not the case anymore. They changed their curriculum around 2 years ago - they have tonnes of homework for K2 and K3 kids these days. Getting more and more like a local kindergarten. This may be an upside for some parents who aim for local primary schools. Victoria is a good choice for many parents who want their kids to go to a bilingual school (like ISF) as they have a strong bilingual programme.

ESF kindergartens on the other hand have zero homework. They believe in learn through play. They teach K2 kids to write their names and learn some simple phonics at school. They have very little Chinese/Mandarin. So if learning Chinese is important to you or if you are a believer of homework and you want your kids to learn to read and write at pre-school level, then ESF kindergartens may not be your cup of tea.

I don't think you will be satisfied with ESF kindy if you think Victoria is perfect for your child. You should stick to Victoria.

Btw, ESF kindergartens (Hillside in particular) shouldn't be regarded as a backup. They are very difficult to get in if you don't have any priorities.

Then you will probably be quite disappointed with ESF, basically it's just play based and kids will not learn writing or reading throughout kinder. They start to count 1-10 at k2. You have to believe in the curriculum itself otherwise you will feel very insecure. I think Victoria is a good balance of both sides.

Victoria呢兩年嘅功課真係多咗好多好多，而且真係深！有同學仔家長另一小朋友讀SC都覺得Victoria功課較深，尤其英文拼音！星期六日功課好多時可以做足半日都未做完，未計練習presentations！當中包括數份中英閲讀報告，閱讀練習，中文寫字，工作紙，剪報，練習報導新聞，數學實驗式功課.... 唔好幻想好似以前咁嘆！

Well, Victoria is quite different from what it used to be, so parents who still think it is a happy school may also be "disappointed".

Anyway, for parents who believe in homework and want their kids to be able to read and write and do simple adding and subtracting before P1, then steer clear of ESF kindergartens to avoid mismatch of expectations.
