Why not ?  Provided that he can be granted an interview according to the priority catalogue set by ESF + successfully pass the interview!

My daughter attended a local kindergarten and joined ESF primary school, but she has USA passport. I wonder whether it helps or not.

i'm also a foreign passport holder, does that help?

One of my friends who live in HK Island. ESF does not offer his daughter interview as they found her daughter is from local kinder (the reason is she can speak chinese).

It should be a rumor and mislead,
she been rejected may be due to poor in English rather than can speak Chinese.
( English is not use in daily life, parents only speak Chinese at home and her kinder mainly use mother tongue as teaching language.)

Her daughter can speak fluent English as she talk to her in English at home. She got offers from CIS, CAIS and AIS. Now she is in CIS.

This is not a rumor and please don't make up your conclusion.

Thank you for your clarify.
May be you should say it in the first place.

BTW,
"the reason is she can speak chinese "
is it a assumption or by record sent from school.

> Day dreaming - you are really day dreaming In esf web site, it is very clear that Applicants in category one will be invited for interview before those in category two, regardless of the date of application.

Category One

Children who speak English as a first or alternative language but do not speak Cantonese and/or read and write Chinese characters.

Category Two

Children who can access the local system but who also meet ESF's entrance requirements.

Don't send out rumor when you and your friend didn't really understand the situation and drew a wrong conclusion.

Every year, there are so many 100% local Chinese kids stdudying at local kindergarten ...

You're so funny indeed.

Can you tell the different between Cat.1 and Cat.2 ??
They are priorities !!!
You assumed that girl belongs to Cat.1 but not Cat.2 ??  Once she was studied at local kinder, she belongs to Cat.2 !! Any official notice show she don't have an interview offer because she can speak Chinese as you claimed ??

daydream are right, it should be "so many applicants with a higher priority at that year together", the chance was slim that year. And the seats are always limited for non-ESF kinder student.

Be rational!!

I just copy the statement 100% from the web site. However, you are funny enough to comment the statement in esf web site. Please also comment if there is anything wrong in www.esf.edu.hk
Your statment "And the seats are always limited for non-ESF kinder student." This statement is wrong again as there are so many non-local kinder. Does this meant they have lower priority even they are native english?

Don't try to divert the key question,
ESF does not offer the girl an interview cos' she can speak Chinese, is not a rumor.  

From your reply, it shows very clear that you don't understand the ESF priorities and how to categorize.
I didn't comment anything, did I ?? It is quite comprehensible.
Limited doesn't means none, comparatively......!!
"so many non-local kinder"......how many ?? more than local kinder ?? You better tell me about it.
native english......what Cat. they belongs to.....??
hope you know and know why that girl don't have offer !!

I will not reply this again.
It never ends, since you can never prove.

Y6baba,

As you like to to have quantity data please advise me the number of esf kinder, non-chinese speaking kinder and local kinder has get a place in esf and other is. If you have no data, how can you comment for other people's information?

Bear in mind, this is open discussion forum, it is up to you to listen or not. Argue with quantity data doesn't make any sense at all.
