My girl will study P1 at SFA too! Today, I received a call from the school saying that the holiday classes will be on in Aug. So.. I guess should be fine and no cancellation!
As my girl was accepted through the 2nd interview.. hahaha.. not successful in the 1st time. That's why we only paid for the classes this week.
Just wonder.. as I saw lot of Kentville students were accepted during the 2nd interview as we were registered on the same day.. are your children also from there?

Yes .. during the 2nd in.. there was about 10 studednts in a group were called for the 2nd in. I was so worried for that as my daughter is not from any branded local kindergarten. She is from ESF school (Beacon Hill School) studying Y1 in 2008-9, which is equivalent to K3 based on age.
She is poor in Chinese and now I am still worrying for her Chinese. But her English is very strong.
As for the 2nd int. I heard they have it in three days to complete the interviews.. I heard about 200-300 students knocking the door for just 10 seats left. My daughter was interviewed on last Thursday and the teacher told us there was a decision on the next day. So.. I waited for the call.. until about 4pm they called me last Friday and said the principal has accepted your daughter and you need to pay the Sept school fee on Monday.
It is true that there is no waiting list as my daughter was not on their list at all. I just wrote to them.
I am hoping that she can really blend well into the local system as I like her to study more Chinese.
Today, the ESF principal called me up to ask me to reconsider to keep my daughter at their school. I have handed in the withdrawal letter to the principal as I have registered with SFA. So.. they wanted to keep my daughter at the school.. finding ways to keep her.. it is so surprised as usually they will just called their long waiting list for new candidates..
I guess there must be lot of students leaving too.. hahaha.. it is a financial crisis year.
