New ESF Kinder

happyteresa

I got the offer also at EST (WKS).  But the letter said we can sign contract also pay the fee after the info session or after school (TY) visit.

I also will attend the info session at 7pm, Jan 29. I haven't decided yet and would like to seek for more info like transporation arrangement and am/pm class.

I will attend Jan 29 7pm session too. And for ty school tour, i have picked Feb 21 cos this can leave me more time to consider

It's very crucial to have school bus from WKS to my home, cos we are working parents but the school said that they will try their best to arrange as they know where do the sign up students live. But i am worried that school bus arrangement won't be confirmed till summer....

I have the same thought as you, so we choose Feb 21, but at 9:30am, the only time we can be available.

same case with Mqchris, they can't work out the exact routing of the school bus services at this moment....I have kept on asking but there is no concrete answer from school....i dun know what can i do if i have signed the contract but turns out there won't be any direct school bus services...

Since I have arranged a school tour in Tsing Yi on Feb 21, I was not given a contract after yesterday session.....so, still wondering which session I am in

Mqchris, And they show us the mandarin teaching material during the session and they are in simplified Chinese

yap ..I also wonder on the school bus services....??!!if signed the contact but no school bus,...then.. when will we know??
maybe we can ask it during the tour.  i will go on 14 FEB.

simplified chinese... it's ok .. i think they just show the word rather than really teach...

yes Mqchris, actually, i have sent an email to Jeni about my concern for the school bus services....But as they said, they need to know how many students have actually signed up first so that they know where do they live and hence discuss the routing with school bus company....so, let us ask again during the tour and update each other la! It's really difficult for my girl to go to school if there is no school bus service to the place i live......

anybody went to info session?

My friend went to the information session and got the follow answers:-

Q. Can the new kinder be confirmed opened in Sep?
A.  umh...it cannot be confirmed...umh....

Q.  Can the kid get priority on Y1 interview even join the class K2 only?
A.  No.

steamball

arrrrr, if can't open in Aug, then......

teresalok620

They said that it's optimistic for the new campus to start in Aug...But i think it may be subjected to some sort of delay.....as it's hard to estimate the completion date for the construction work.  PLUS they also need to obtain the license from Eduction Department once all the work has been completed....

Anyone attended the Tsing YI campus and got the contract?

happyteresa

I called Lake Silver when the residents can move in the estate.  She said it would be about Q4 this year.  I have the same concern if ESF can open the kinder with license by Aug!  So many uncertainties, why ESF still forces us to make decision.  It seems unreasonable!

joeymos

and the license from Fire Department!

popolung

ask the WKS principal if they have back-up once the kinder can't open in Aug, like if they will rent other school to operate first, etc. Of course for kinder is quite difficult than others.... good luck to all!
