INR in ESF

panda_k

If planning to buy an INR in ESF, which primary school will you choose among SJS, BHS and KJS) distance is not a concern as maybe move home after got an offer.  My big concern is the discipline as my child is a gal.  Pls advice, thanks

You will still have to apply according to your catchment don't you? So... Where u r living now...

As for schools SJS goes straight to SC at the same campus and only available for SJS and BHS kids (at this moment but things may change). Where as, for KGV it applies to KJS as well as CWBS. Therefore it also depends what your target secondary school is.

Thank for your reply.  Our catchment school is BHS now.  My gal is in ESF kindergarten, I want to buy an INR in order to get higher priority than few hundred kinder graduates since more graduates next year.  Just knowing INR can choose schools out of catchment zone, I can buy it directly from my appointed school.  Some school tours can't be arranged before INR buying date.

My target sec school is either KGV or SC

Did you discuss this issue with the class teacher in ESF kindergarten? Your gal will have the chance to get an interview anyway, what's the point to buy INR?

I haven't.  But no guarantee interview for kinder kids and will be more graduates in next year after TC kinder opened in Aug this Year.

U should speak to ur class teacher first. I don't think u need to buy INR if ur daughter is already in ESF kindergarten

Wait until the first round of interviews have been arranged.
Then, if you see some other people have got interviews but not you, then pay for INR.
In any case, I think everyone have a chance to interview if you are already in ESF kindergarten in the past.Are you sure there is no guarantee next year?
As far as I know, there are enough places for everyone in ESF kinds.
So the only problem is passing the interview.
You should really talk to the teacher.

Yes, they have many rounds of interviews, I heard at the end, all got interviews ( either ESF or PIS), but of course during the waiting period, you will be very anxious.

Well, there is nothing you can do with the result of the interview. Anything can happen.
Unfortunately, paying the INR only grant applicants the priority to interview. INR does not guarantee direct entry.
