Just recieved a letter from ESF last week that my son will change to another class in the coming 09/10 school year. The letter said that many children will move to this class and the others will remain in the same class as K2 contingent in that original class.

Is it a normal practice in changing to a new class? Any ex-ESF kinder kids experienced that change? DO you know why? Is it because he is a big boy (he borned in March)? I recalled that a "big" boy/girl class will group together in K2 because of the age gap with K1. Is that the case?

i think because some of the classmates left the class, so ESF will like to shuffle the classes again so the mix of local & foreigners be more even, just a wild guess.

I do not know about kindergarten. But in primary and secondary, if there is a need to "move" a couple of students to other classes, they would move the students that they believe have no problem in fitting in amongst new people than those that are more shy.

Read the handbook again -- it says that in K2, with the recommendation of the class teacher, ESF will group the more mature students (usually those born in Jan-Mar) into a new class for better learning. This means your son is doing very well and has good progress.

Do not know about kindergarten, but it has not apparent to me that any ESF primary or secondary school would purposely want to maintain an even mix of local and foreign kids.
Any other parents can confirm?

My son will also be in Panda am class. Only 2 children in the same original class will have this move. My son is a bit upset of this move because he wants to be a mentor and take care K1.

I understand how's your son's feeling. This is one of the drawback that they don't have a chance to become the mentor.

Yes, I did met Rebecca with my hubby earlr (it was Wednesday, just two days before the school closed - My boy was sick and stayed home). Rebecca mentioned my son might be swapped to the Panda class but the school had not yet confirmed by that time. You can still email Rebecca (same email address) if you want. Mary (the school administrator) said Rebecca will resume duty in Sheung Wan in mid of August.
