ESF CAT2 K2學生會否落第ESF Primary?

lovelyteresa

因報了ESF K1， 女女暫時是CAT1，但相信在香港過兩年會變成CAT2懂廣東話，想請問有否CAT2 ESF Kindy家長分享考進／落選ESF的原因及過程？因想入ESF K1其實只是最終想入KGV, 所以很希望得到過來人意見，謝謝幫忙！

Kowloon Junior, Clearwater Bay. No chance for Cat 2 students except with siblings.

So that means there will be quite a lot of Cat2 esf k2 kids can't have any esf yr 1 offer unless they have island catchment? Poor poor...anyone know more if QBS can absorb the Cat2 from TY esf if they can fall on that zone?
Thx a lot :)

if i were u, i would:
0. confirm a K1 offer from any ESF kindergarten;
1. Move to a catchment area where has a (relatively) higher chance to get a ESF primary Year 1 place (don't ask me where);
2. Move back to KGV's catchment area before applying Year 7.

?? 但我聽聞QBS好多香港人噃....Y1家長仲同我講, 接放學好多都講廣東話....就算係我認識的那位Y1小朋友, 佢都係CAT2, 係ESF KINDERGARTEN上去的....

我個女讀緊港島small world，之前佢地好多學生都入ESF，但聽講近一兩年，即使係cat 1 small world學生都入唔到esf. small world係明年九月會開小學，學制跟nis，都係五歲入小一，２２人一班，大家如果驚esf冇位，可以問下．佢地今年過度期，開左一班year 1，係幼稚園個campus運作住先，得１４人，我個女而家讀緊，暫時來講都幾好．

My elder son studied in Starters School for about six months about 2-3 years ago. Amongst his ex-classmates (out of more than 20 students), only 4 students got accepted by ESF. Amongst these four students, three of them have siblings already in the ESF system. This caught many of the parents by surprise as many of them only applied for ESF

What about esf kinder+cat 1 students?  Guaranteed chance for interview?  I am really getting puzzled...

Aiya but does esf have any reports or statistic showing the no. Of application/cat1/2 ratio in each primary school? Moving across the harbour is common for parents, just don't know if it really works if no information known...;(

I was really shocked coz I just got the call from KJS that my daughter who is now studying in TY K2 will not be offered a place at KJS despite I got an elder one now studying at KJS !!

crystalpui

有哥哥都冇位???

cissyc

NO.
That why I am totally SHOCKED !!
There are too many Cat 1 applications.
I am sooooo worried now.

錢錢媽

What did KJS say ?  Not even in a waitlist ?!  I thought we would be notified via letter.  

Gosh!!  I am scared.  I have been thinking about this day and night since early Nov.

cissyc

You will be put on wait list, but it is unlikely you will get a place coz there are tooooooooooooo many cat 1 children. official letter will be sent out by ESF central admission next week. I guess I shall not be the only one receiving the call from the principal. there is nothing we can do except finding another school....:(

錢錢媽

Do you think the principal will call all applicants?

Or just because your elder one is in KJS!?

錢錢媽 : do you have any sbling in primary school? if yes, I guess you'll receive the call very soon coz he told me he's calling the other parents; if no, chance of getting place will be low then. you may pm me for more detail

lovelyteresa

so that means even if having a sibling in KJS, Cat2 esf K2 kids are unlikely to be in esf P1?  or will the principal offers some other esf to settle this?  they can't leave you alone...did you apply RC and DC?  they have priorities on esf K2 kids in interviews right?

真唔明 cat2 仲走去讀 esf kinder 為乜, 出路幾乎無 ,  回流去讀local kinder好過,
