CheCheMan,

Well.....To prepare for the worst......I think you can try ISF Academy (i.e.弘立), or Yew Chung. I'm not sure Victoria Shanghai Academy is still open for application. Not much choice for bilingual schools......
f.y.i. PLK TSL (陳守仁) will have 2nd phase admission in June 2008.
Good luck!

Just have time to walk thur BK.  TQ for yr advice.

However the school fee for Yiu Chung is rather expensive.  U're right that I need to think abt "contingency plan".  Actually, I have planned to apply KJS (Kowloon Junior School) if the two (DBS & CKY) are not accept my son.

Hey, how's yr plan?  Have u also applied DBS or St. Margaret or others????   Share w/ me if u have time and don't mind.

CheCheMan,

I'm over with the ordeal last year.
my child is in CKY Yr.1.

For KJS, their G.1 intake is at age 5 bor?
I heard that there is always long queue for transfer student application at ESF! Don't know if it's true.

Besides lower school fee and learning Chinese, is there any more "merits" that CKY have when comparing to ESF?

One shouldn't compare CKY with ESF or other ISs.  It's like comparing apples and oranges.

Most would agree IF one is concerned about English standard, he should really go for ISs and the question then becomes which IS is better or more suitable to his kid.

I dare not say CKY has more merits than ESF especially there are even more fans of ESF than those of CKY.  I'm sure each camp will tell you their merits.  Simply spend some time reading the relevant threads and you would have a grip of their respective merits.  Then you'd decide which one suits your kid better.

By the way, I'm not really sure if CKY charges a lower tuition fee - in primary school?  On the other hand, ESF has also increased their Chinese lessons.  Both CKY and ESF teach Chinese in PTH.  In fact, due to their different weightings given to English and Chinese, students of the two schools are reasonably expected to have a  different level of command of the two languages.

I thought there would be only 1 interview.  Feeling much pressure. :-| :-|

I think no preparation for the child is necessary. The interview format last year was more like a fun fair and I believe all children found it enjoyable.
The child would participate in various games lead by teachers (both local & NET teachers). My child told me he sang a Chinese song and write some simple Chinese words. (He didn't tell me much ) The interview last for an hour.
The parent would be asked to fill in a questionnaire while waiting for the child. You would need to write a short essay to introduce your child/ your family.

CheCheMan,

My child has been in CKY for 2 months only.
Yes. He enjoys his school life and he likes his teachers.

CKY is a happy learning haven.

Yup, I think it's better for us to take it easy for the 1st interview.

Dear 維他：

若要將蔡繼有的功課量與傳統學校比，相信是小毛見大毛，應該唔會以「多」來形容。應該以「廣」來形容，「廣」在於認知(common sense)，學生本身的認知越多，功課就會越覺得容易。我遇過有些家長申訴孩子不懂得做功課，因為孩子根本不懂得該方面的知識，故特別覺得模不著頭腦。

My son cannot attend the interview.  

I have called the school for changing the timeslot but they say we can't swap the timeslot by ourselves.  Really don't understand why.

I feel upset with the school's policy.
