Yes, SJC is very difficult to enter even you are Cat 1 (Native English Speaker) so RC is a good choice too, school is getting better now, and the principal is the ex-IB Director in Singapore before he came HK and take up this post.
RC school fee is also not "cheap". I think it is more or less the same as Kingston. RC is getting better now.
My son is studying in SJS but he was ESF kindergarten students before. As I know, P1 is very difficult. For other grades, depends on number of seats available. This year end may be better because some exp may leave HK due to economic tsunami. The most important criterion is speaking in English during interview for your daugther. Once speak Chinese, failure.
I was being interviewed before. I think they also test parents' English as well.
RC & SJS 長短處: SJS students are very happy and their English is very good. SJS with many years history and they got a very good reputation and outstanding performance among ESF schools.
RC emphases on both Mandarin and English but just few years history. School is new and got very good facilities.
Would you(anyone) please tell me the school fee(year one) per month in 2008?? Thank you!!

Fees are payable in ten monthly instalments over the course of the academic year. New students are required to pay a non-refundable, non-transferable deposit as an advance payment towards the first term’s fees when they have been offered a place. The deposit is HK$10,000 for primary and HK$16,000 for a secondary school place. This payment is also required when students transfer from an ESF primary school to an ESF secondary school.
are u sure there will be some expats leaving SJS? I'm still on the waiting list - 20 sth. I think I may have to wait until P3 or P4 . Do u think so? Indeed, I hope I can get an interview for P2 . Can anybody share your experience? Thank you.

Dear Fattymom.
We chatted in this forum some time ago (about your child's acceptance to JIS).
Do you still want to have your son go to SJS even though he is studying in JIS now?
If yes, why?
I rememeber you said JIS is a good school - caring and warm sense of belonging, good parent-student-techcher relationship.
Hope to hear from you.
Maria
