ESF -Renaissance College or Shatin College

chingyu

Students can only apply to the school in their zone (except Year One and Seven students applying during central applications).  If you are living in Tsuen Wan, you should choose Beacon Hill rather than Shatin Junior.  


Beacon Hill
Zone: The west side of Nathan Road from Tsim Sha Tsui to Boundary Street excluding areas south-west of Cherry Street and Ferry Street , the area north of Boundary Street, including Kowloon Tong and Caldecott Road. Extending westward along the Lung Cheung Highway including Tsuen Wan and Tuen Mun.

Shatin Junior
Zone: Sha Tin, all of the New Territories north of the Lung Cheung, Caldecott and Tai Po Roads, the Ma On Shan side of Tolo Inlet and Three Fathoms Cove and the area up to Symphony Bay. Tsing Yi Island.

Renaissance College is different from the other ESF.
More information quoted from its website as below
================================
Opened in August 2006 with just over 800 students, Renaissance College will eventually grow to a community of 2,100 students, both Primary and Secondary, on the same campus. It is the first school in Hong Kong to offer the Primary and Middle Years Programmes of the International Baccalaureate as preparation for the Diploma Programme.
Although the College will use English as the medium for teaching and learning, the curriculum will have a very strong emphasis on Chinese language and culture. All students will study Putonghua and Standard Chinese.

WYmom,

No....the catchment areas were changed last year.  I have just clarified with the administrator in Beacon Hill.  My understanding is totally correct.  Area zone on my previous response was also recapped from ESF website.
