現在international school(特別是出名一點的）也十分難入，早點報名好！可能waiting list也要等幾年呢！

小孩由LS轉IS通常有2個心理上的考慮。一是越年纪大的小孩，越抗拒和現在的同學朋友分手。二是越坦心自己的英語能力是否可以應付IS的學業和社交生活。

我原先就是知排得耐，可能要1-2年，但現在早比預期早了有位，所以想問下意見

No one can give you an answer since every family is different and every child is different.
There is no best time or not bad time.
There best thing is to ask your child whether he wants to go to the new school.
If he does not want to, forget about it.
If he wants to, then go ahead.
One thing to note, since you said you have an offer now, you may want to understand that if you decline the offer this year, you might not have another offer next year.

Yup this is one of the points to consider. My gal inserted at year 8. She is fine with meeting new friends and gets along well with other kids. But some new students didn't so it depends the character of your kid.

P.6跟舊友一齊畢業是一個完美回憶；Year 7 一同起出發是期望更順利的明天。
沒有融洽的社交生活；那有好的學習環境?

別低估轉校對孩子的壓力；如果要我揀；一定Year 7一齊開始。

我反而覺得，未必有得比你㨂，好多人係先 apply，再 interview ，再等位。

好多人係等等下，一年中間，call 你，十月唔定，四月唔定，叫你下個星期返。

你去唔去？排到你，你唔去，就當你放棄，冇得你選擇話等下個新學年去咯。

我當年同你情況一樣，替在本地學校完成小六既女兒申請入讀國際學校，最後我選擇提女兒申請Year 7。
還記得學校Admission Staff 收到我的申請表後，特意打電話給我，說根據女兒年齡群應申請Year 8，怕我攪錯，我就同Admission Staff 講出我的擔憂。

到現在亦覺得當年既選擇係正確。

即重讀一年。你係希望完成小學畢業「及」與同學一起讀中學？這就是重讀一年的理由？

My daughter graduated from P6 local school and skipped Grade 7 and started in Grade 8 in international school. She missed out quite a lot in Math syllabus. And she missed out some foundations such as how to write lab reports, how to write essays, citations, etc. as she is in an Ib school. These are taught in Grade 7 in her international.
So I started my son in Grade 6 which is thr foundation year for son's school.

因女兒是在中文小學完成小學六年課程，我最擔心她的英文跟不上，所以希望她打好個基礎，再加上Year 7是中學第一年，我覺得比較容易認識新朋友，所以就決定替女兒申請Year 7了。

可能你孩子入 yr8，學校也認為英文0k，照收呢。有D學校更會有英文補底課，收得你不用擔心。

當好多香港家長希望孩子做細B，因為早一年畢業，你卻因為想孩子讀多一年，主要因為可以和同學一齊起步，算是一個特別例子。

申請讀Year 7 主要都係擔心女兒英文程度追不上，和新同學一齊起步其實只是一個很小的因素。

I think being able to mingle with classmates can be a more important factor to consider than one year's difference in English learned in a local school. Changing school and making new friends is just as stressful to a teenager as changing jobs to us adults, or even more stressful considering the age of year 7/8 esp girls who are experiencing emotional ups and downs during puberty.

想八掛下，係你擔心孩子英文追不上所以只報yr7，沒有報 yr8，跟學校收唔收入讀 yr8無關？

如果擔心英文，點解唔小五後接yr 7？如果因為想孩子有小學畢業而要讀多一年，比班中同學大一年，學野淺一年，是不小的代價。

只可說每人性格際遇不同，人生裏每個選擇只可做一次，不能回頭重活，讀year 7或8也好都只是一年時間，在人生漫漫長路算什麼？況且上學除了書本上的東西還有很多事情要學習，例如社交等，不相信會是白過，再者人家已說沒有後悔選year 7...

Totally agree.

My kids have had classmates that were 1 or even 2 years older than they are. Not sure what lead to that situation but I do not see any problems at all.
People live to very old age now. We are talking about living up to 80+ years old and working until 70 or older. Staying back in school 1 or 2 years is nothing. I think every parent has different reasons to choose a certain path for their child. After all, every child is different and every family has their own situation.
No need to challenge why other people have a certain choice. After all, the issue we are discussing (whether staying back school one year) is no big deal.

吾好意思，可能之前講得不清楚....

係你擔心孩子英文追不上所以只報yr7，沒有報 yr8，跟學校收唔收入讀 yr8無關？

我在填寫申請表上，申請班級是填Year 7，後來Admission Staff 打來跟進，當時Admission Staff 己拒絕，說以年齡群是申請Year 8，不過我心想，有得做written test 同 interview 先再算。過左幾個月，終於有得做written test ，再過多3個星期，收到學校電郵，話written test 過關及安排了interview ，家長亦需要出席。在interview中，我向老師講出我的擔憂，更說明想孩子先入讀Year 7，老師沒有即時答應，只重申講孩子的年齡群是Year 8及written test 己過關了。再過多2個星期，收到學校電郵確認孩子成功入讀Year 7。所以我真係吾知道係孩子能力未到定什麼原因最後可入讀Year 7，而不是Year 8。

如果擔心英文，點解唔小五後接yr 7？如果因為想孩子有小學畢業而要讀多一年，比班中同學大一年，學野淺一年，是不小的代價。

孩子很想在本地小學畢業，所以我在她小六時才替她申請入讀國際學校。可能我小朋友是年尾出世，我覺得比班中同學大一年真的沒有大不了。加上本地學校同國際學校既學習方式完全不同，用一年時間去適應，我覺得沒有浪費，更加不會白過。

應該y7就申請，因為真係唔易（好似弘立，成功率只有1/25-30，既係25個考收得1個），收咗就入，唔收就當warm up,第二年再考y8,而且好多y6已經算是中學，所以y7都唔係有好多新同學一齊入。

Do u mean there are 20-30 students fighting for 1 seat of ISF secondary?

作者: Baobi424 時間: 15-6-8 18:42

No, the successful rate is around 1 out of 25-30 applicants. They have spaces in the secondary but they don't want to fill up with students they consider are not good enough. Therefore, is very hard to get in. The exams are not easy, according to my friend's daughter, who is doing quite well in a local primary school.

可以考慮讀埋P6 , 跟著直入year 8
課程應可追到。留意一下英文，特別口語溝通。

Hi,
I am also thinking of enrolling my child for Year 8 after completing P.6 in local school. When I check the application process for ESF, they require a reference letter from current school. But I don't think that I can get one from the current primary school because it offers secondary education as well. Any mums who can share your experiences or advices?
Thanks,

I think being born near the end of the year does make a difference when it comes to cross age group applications. Many int'l schools do allow kids to defer a year, especially if they are born near the end of the year. (The same goes with skipping ahead a year for kids born near the beginning of the year). The key is that the age group fits the child's social and intellectual maturity. They usually don't do it lightly though, and would consult the class teachers and school counselors for age group changes within the school. I think in normal cases, it is best to stick to the age range on applications. Glad it worked out for you though.

From my friend's experience they provided the reference letter after the child was accepted by the ESF school. Call the school to ask if you decide to apply!

Hi sschiu,
Thank you for the information. I have called the school who said the letter is not required at the time of application but I would have to present it when they start to process the application at later stage.

Yes I don't want to disclose to current school. That is why I can't get the reference letter, not even when we get the chance to interview! The current school may refuse to write it and get to know our application to another school!
