unbelievable, over 80% WKS k2 student can't get offer from ESF primary
作者: ic81473 時間: 10-2-4 15:24
AnGrydAdi,
I'm not sure the %, but i knew some kids didn't get offer fm ESF primary, some are on the waitlist......how u know this?

Actually, I'm the one on waiting list. & most of kids in the class/wks be rejected offer.
that's why I create the name in BK to post the message

I really can't believe it, what's the point to get in WKS kinder......
Is this happens in WKS kinder only?
作者: tamm 時間: 10-2-4 15:42
Just out of curiosity, you are going to lodge the compliant to the kinder or to the primary?
作者: nintendo 時間: 10-2-4 15:49
I do not know where the misunderstanding came from but ESF kindergarten kids are only offered the priority to attend interview. ESF kindergardten kids are never guaranteed a place in ESF primary school. Kids still need to attend interview, and they need to PASS the interview. If the majority of WKS failed to get a seat, it means that the kids did not pass the interview.
WSK is a new school. I would not be surprised if all or most of WKS K2 kids transferred from local kindergartens. And with only 4 months with WKS, I would also not be surprised if these kids have not built up the English skills needed.

v. shocked to hear that. did the kinder provide any explanation? is it becoz the kids only have a v. short time in ESF kinder (a few months only) before the interview?
How about RC? I recall the letter advising us to choose WKS ESF instead of TY ESF mentioned that RC would give priority to WKS ESF kids.
Hope u find the solution v. soon.

thanks for your sharing. :)
but i m v. puzzled:
- some ppl said becoz of a newly opened ESF kinder, this yr, quite a no. of non-ESF kinder kids do not have the chance for interview in the first round (I recalled reading some sharing in BK on that and my fd's kid in Think also didn't ve the chance for KJS and RC).
- WKS ESF parent shared with us that the passing rate of the kinder to ESF primary is shockingly low.
then, where do the admitted kids come from?
作者: ic81473 時間: 10-2-4 16:13
I knew that there's no guarantee of place offer nor interview. I have a little bit disappointed with this school......We changed the class & teacher after 1st term, how will our children get benefit fm this?

I'm not going to argue with BKer but I just want to tell the truth, most kids were transfer from famous intl kindergarden as well eg. kingston, yew chung, st. cat. ywca, ymca, david... and most of their previous kindergarden principal tell them don't tranfser to wks as their school got offer ratio very high as well... and they have very very high chance to get offer from ESF primary school as the (transfer) kids are outstanding. so principal don't want them leave as well.
the result as i knew, many many ywca, ymca, kingston, david... kids got SJS, RC offer few days ago as well and the percentage sure times higher than WKS.
No matter, Red R, P, C... all of them have same result that got quite good feedback from ESF primary school after the teachers of ESF primary school went to on site interview the kids.
I don't need ur guys believe me but if you go to WKS kindergarden, you will found the truth
At last, as I know some kids are going to transfer to other kindergarden in coming month due to unhappy with WKS

AnGrydAdi,
of course we believe in you. It's so sad the result is like that.
Did WKS ESF kinder provide any "extra" training to kids before the interview? I recalled some TY ESF parents shared the "enhancement program" in TY ESF K2 kids.
ve u tried JIS or HLY? i m not sure if they have closed the application yet.
hope u find the solution v. soon.

o no.
and play has kindly shared w/ us that WKS ESF is unlikely to offer K.3.
in that case, even if some parents plan to go back to local stream, ve to find a place for K.3. will YMCA kinder still have seat for K.3?

From begin, why our parent choose ESF WKS kindergarden,
We believe they can provide better study environment for our kids
their teaching method should no difference with other ESF kindergarden.
ESF primary school highly accept ESF kindergarden study method and can seamless integrate to primary school
Good relationship between ESF kindergarden and primary school
(personal view) ESF kindergarden have priority to ESF primary school
Finally, all of us are TOTALLY WRONG

If i still have good memory and I'm not wrong,
I remember both SJS and RCHK's head told us kids not must use english to answer question and they don't want the kids who trained for interview.
That's why we follows the principal's instruction to play with our kids and let them have a relax environment to learn from play.
Finally, we found that WE ARE WRONG.
ESF Principals are you joking with us???

If it is really true that SJS and RC would not take certain WKS students but are offering places to YMCA or Kingston students instead, I believe they have their reasons. In a school point of view, I do not think SJS or RC would purposely reject WKS students. The only reason I can think of would be that the kids that were rejected did not pass the admission process.
Of course, if you can dig out effidence that WKS has in the pass provided false information to parents, so that parents have been misled into believing that ESF primary school has to provide places to all WKS students, then I believe you should file a complaint. Otherwise, I really do not see any grounds of your complaint.

I am also very very disappointed of ESF arrangement. We joined WKS this year just because we believed that the ESF kindergartener should be given the higher priority in its primary school. All my colleagues, their kids were admitted in ESF primary schools a few years ago had never encountered the problem of over-subscription. My daughter is not on the waitlist of BHS even though she was sucessful at interview. So ridiculous! So crazy! The no. of ESF primary schools are more than the kindergartens, how come there are insufficient places? My daughter's English is very outstanding that teacher's commented on her report that "she is a fluent English speaker that she can speak complicated English sentence". Just because we are Cat 2 without foreign passport that we are being neglected? Today, we sent applications to other international schools. Hope there will be some places available. My daughter can't u-turn to main stream school. I am deeply disappointed and angry with the ESF arrangement!

Did you talk to the principal yet? But I heard from other parents that only 5 mins were arranged to discuss with principal and she only provided you a full list other IS's contacts, no use at all.
I don't want my son who is K1 at WKS to be the victim of next year. As I know, there will have a performance for celebrating Lunar new year on next Friday and we can attend it and stay in school. Don't you think we can deliver our concern to school on that day? I think the ESF group does not want to raise this issue to public as we can expect how big the negative impact to be on WKS.
I will seriously consider to withdraw my son from WKS if the school cannot fix this well.

作者: CSJ安樂窩 時間: 10-2-4 23:24
Are you jumping into conclusion? By attending ESF Kinder, it only gives you 'priority' for an interview and NOT a place in ESF primary. Also, in the guideline, it stated that admission in a ESF Kinder for at least 2 terms the kid can enjoy this 'priority' for an interview. For this year's WKS kids, they have only attended the school for one term so that might be the reason that they are place lower in the ESF Kinder list. This is just my guess but do remember, passing the screening interview is the key.原帖由 bearman5788 於 10-2-4 23:11 發表

it doesn't matter that kids join esf kindergarden 1 or 2 terms or more.
join 2 terms it won't teach you more than 2 terms' knowledge
k1 teach k1 knowledges, k2 as well
kids join in k2 should same as kids go up from k1 in kindergarden
i also think kindergarden have already screening our kids that the level should no much difference

Don't blame on the principal. The decision is made by the primary school. It is the problem of

no conclusion yet. I raised my same concern to the class teacher during the parent meeting before and she just asked me to be relax, and said around 95% of the students can go straight to ESF school according to pass experiences. Thus, I keep playing with son all the time without focusing the academic. May be it is time to pick up the pencil with him again.....

too bad that i changed my kid from Kingston to YMCA , then to WKS K2. The only purpose was to pave way for going to ESF primary. I should not have changed from the very beginning!
WKS promised us that we will have the same priority as that enjoyed by other esf kinders. So i do not think we should be prejudiced by the fact that we only joined ESF for few months before the interview.
As far as i know, many K2 kids in WKS come from other good international kinders. So i do not think there is a big difference on their command of english when compared with kids from other ESf kinders.
A WKS AM parent told me that the principal said only 4-5 kids in total are admitted by all ESF primary schools (including RC). Dunno if it means both AM and PM or just AM. Crazy!

Are you so sure (or confident) that nothing went wrong during the interview?
Kids are kids. Even older kids or teens can mess up during interviews. I know a kid that refused to speak during interview at all.
I know that you are angry. But it is not fair to blame ESF for not getting an offer.

My son is a Halloween boy & i try to find a K3 place for the coming Sep, my target is CKY. By the way, i submitted the application to CAIS. Let's see!

haha...ask him to work in WKS , may be he can perform better than the teachers there!
By the way, you should consider CAIS or Kingston. You will know whether your kid is admitted immediately after the interview.
for K3, you should consider YMCA or tutortime. Good Luck!

I got an offer from DC, but BHS is my target.
As i know, DC should have more western kids to apply that should a bit harder than BHS to get offer.
Strange, u got offer from DC but not BHS.
so did u kid do wrong in BHS screening?

I guess WKS may have a greater number of Cat 2 applicants as some of the children there might have transferred from local kinder and that they would surely be grouped under Cat 2. Cat 2 applicants without sibling at ESF would very likely be placed on waitlist given the large number of applications received this year.
原帖由 CSJ安樂窩 於 10-2-4 23:24 發表 For this year's WKS kids, they have only attended the school for one term so that might be the reason that they are place lower in the ESF Kinder list. This is just my guess but do remember, passing the screening interview is the key.

I don't think all the selected are Cat 1 and I believe my son have good receptive and expressive when compare with same age level and no big difference with same age western kids.
compare with other selected by RC/SJS, my son is much outstanding

They have siblings in ESF primary
is there something wrong / difference of WKS teaching style or curriculum with other ESF Kinda.

i also think so!
I tried to ask WKS for the report to understand about the failure , WKS said they did ask the info from BHS but BHS did not respond?

Your case is worthwhile to go deeper with WKS/BHS.
Eventhough all 90 seats are occupied by Cat. 1 applicants in the first round, your daughter should be placed on the waitlist, and should be on top of other non-ESF cat. 2 applicants.
That is the Rule of the Game; and I don't think they should break the rule they set.

Personally I feel that BHS' screening standard is higher than DC as per my kid's experience. So no surprise that DC accepts and BHS rejects and don't agree that "DC should have more western kids to apply that should a bit harder than BHS to get offer."

Did your kid pass an interview and was placed in waiting list due to over interviewing of applicants or your kid did not pass the interview?
It is too sad to know that the successful rate in WKS kinder is so low which is completely different from TY ESF kinder where most of kids from my son's class got dual or at least one offer.
If you have got the waiting list from RC, the chance is really high as I know a number of kids from ESF TY will give up RC offer and choose ESF
Primary school.
I guess you need to consult the school for feedback report about the interviewing performance. Actually, ESF TY provides K3 class for those who are not getting offer in primary school but of course subject to the kindergarten’s discretion.
I have to say ESF TY kinder is doing very good for preparing kids for primary school interview. A week or a few days before interview, children from same interview time slot would group together to meet another class teacher (the one they are not familiar with though they may know her) for class activities instead of their home teacher. (It was told by my son and his classmate and the kinder did not tell the parents about such arrangement) .
Good luck and Add oil.

WTF, BHS like a responsible school? call the principal directly and ask them fax immediately and tell them u r waiting on facsimile side
作者: myjasmine 時間: 10-2-5 11:07
jjson,
Yes, i also get to know from my friend that TY kinder did a lot more than WKS to help preparing the kids for the interview! In fact, many parents there are not satisfied with WKS and some did and some are planning to withdraw.
WKS said BHS did not respond to their request for the interview report. Do you think it is normal? or is it normal for us to request for such report to understand more?

If TY's hit rate remains high, it is more likely to be a "system" matter rather than individual performance during interview.
Comparing apple to apple, why WKS hit rate is terribly low?
A. All WKS kids were underperform during interview?
B. All WKS applicants were "labelled" during interview?
C. What did WKS do after the interview? The school cannot say "I don't know", as mentioned in the website:
"No ESF Kindergarten child will be turned down before the Primary school staff have discussed the situation with the kindergarten"

Have u contacted the school regarding reason of failure?
Last year, a few parents posted in BK that RC was willing to share the reason(s) behind.
That does not sounded realistic where no Cat 1 / Cat 2 differenitation in RC and WKS applicants should be in Priority 2 (Priority 1 are those with siblings).

I think it is normal to request for a feedback report from BHS if your kid was failed in the interview as you need to find out the reason for failure and look for improvement.
However, if your kid passed the interview but was placed in the waiting list due to over interviewing of applicants then it may not be too helpful though you still can ask for it.
