My girl is local. And I wanna put her in esf primary but since we live quite far away from those esf kindergarten so I m thinking if I can just let her go to some international kindergarten first. But heard that is hard to get offer or even interview chance if the kid isn't from esf kindergarten. Can anyone provide more info. Thanks !

My case is exactly the same as yours. I gave up the offer of ESF kinder where was about 45mins travel from my home. Instead, I put my child in another kinder nearby (travel time reduced to within 15mins, expert's advice). This year he entered ESF Y1.

ESF is opening a new kindergarten in Tung Chung next year, and if ESF maintains interview priority for it's kindergartens, that means the chances for non-ESF kindergarten pupils will be reduced.

The current situation is ESF has around 1100 Y1 places and 700 K2 pupils, so even if all their K2 children proceed to Y1 there are still a few hundred places for non-ESF children, but this is going to change when Tung Chung opens next year and should be borne in mind when deciding.

(Note: The "1100 Y1 places" refers to the Foundation schools, so if RC and DC are included that will add another 300 or so Y1 places.)

Hi, i am very new to IS and could you advise the difference between ESF and RC/DC?

For entry to ESF Y1, is native English required?

Same here...Although Cantonese is the 1st language of me and my husband, our boy speaks English. We are also targeting ESF schools, i.e. KJS and KGV.
Our boy is going to attend a so-called international kinder (pn class) which is a 5min walk from home on coming August, we are thinking to apply k1 of ESF Kinder...Abacus is the nearest one to us (although it is not really "near"), but it only intakes a very limited number of students, both WKS and TY are quite far away...
Not sure which one to apply...struggling....

RC and DC is the PIS (private independent school) of the ESFthe difference i know is RC and DC is "all-through" schools and are not under the zoning policy, the debenture is a bit more the ESF schools, and the school fee is bit more than the esf school

RC and DC are Private Independent Schools under the ESF umbrella, and the major difference between them and the Foundation Schools are as follows:-

(1) RC and DC have their primary and secondary sections co-located in the same campus while Foundation primary and secondary schools are separate.

(2) RC and DC follow IB curriculum throughout, while Foundation schools adopt IB (PYP) for primary and then iGCSE for secondary.

(3) 70% of RC and DC's student population should be HK residents, defined as having at least one parent who is a HK permanent resident. There is no such requirement for Foundation schools.

For entry to Y1 they don't expect native English but fluent English, and they have abolished the previous Cat 1 & 2 prioritization.

I am exactly in the same shoes. Got esf kindy offer but it's far from home. In your case, did u feel it's more difficult to even get an interview for Y1 after u have given up their kindy? Or need nomination rights? Or have sibling priority? I am worried that if we give it up now, we will be 'remembered'

For sure the kindergartens have a record of who had declined their offers before, but I doubt if they would pass that information to the primary schools. I can't say they wouldn't, but it is quite unlikely.

Even though priority is not guarantee, it is better than nothing. If you are keen on ESF Primary, I would encourage you not give up the chance if you have offer from ESF kinder eventually.

Thanks very much for the introduction. I just realised that RC and DC indeed target HK residents! Do all RC and DC primary students go to their secondary schools direct? What about the Chinese teaching. Traditional or Simpilfed pls? Should be stronger than the subsidised ESF schools?

No one will remember you. They just offer places to whom has the highest priority in the queue and can pass the interview.
Please note that turning down the ESF K1 offer means your priority will be lower than (almost lowest) ALL ESF kindy applicants (talking about hundreds?) in Year one Central Application.Only those who file an application AFTER the deadline will be queuing behind you...

Yes both RC and DC are through-train so all primary students will go straight to their secondary section.

I believe RC teaches traditional Chinese while DC teaches simplified. RC has the reputation of being stronger in Chinese than the other ESF schools, but for details you'll have to ask existing RC parents

Even from a non ESF kinder, you can buy $500k nomination right and still get the chance for interview.

Are the Y1 ESF/PIS interview chances again on a lottery system?
Otherwise, how do they sort out the applicants for an interview chance?
