Hi- all

We submitted the late application (March 16) to Tsing Yin ESF kindergarten. However they arranged us to have the play visit in mid April.

Here's my questions,

1. I heard that even though the application was successful, they would not be able to offer me the seat at this point. More so like wait list. Is that true ? Any mama has experience?

2. I still don't know if IS will fit my girl well. Let's say it doesn't. Is it very difficult for IS students to switch back to local schools ? If so what year is the best to transfer?

3. How's the Chinese level in ESF kindergarten? How much Chinese a wk ?

Thx a lot!!!!! Your answers will be greatly appreciated

Quite true，the first batch of interview has completed in Feb and some of the candidates got waiting only. So I think you will be likely to get waiting too.

I think many people got offers already and there are few threads about different ESF kinders you can find them.

Oh I see! Hi Kamgat & Bellarie, for both of your case, I think both of you can still go for the play visit, see if your gal can success in the interview first, if not, then you may continue to go to Victoria! On the other hand, if really got succeeded in the interview, most probably you will on the waiting list first, but there is really chance to get the offer while on waiting! I'm one of those! I was on waiting for 1 month only! Very lucky!

The other thing to consider is the through-train school arrangement! For Victoria, most of the student can get into their primary school in Aberdeen (not very sure on it's location but I remember it's a bit far)! For ESF, if you passed the primary school then directly to secondary without the need for interview! Also, by catchment area, the ESF school is more or less near your place!

So for the long-run, I'm more keen on ESF group of schools! Thus I will choose ESF kinder!
But their chinese is not very strong, thus the only thing got to reinforce is their chinese studies!

Oh yes.. Another consideration is, it will be extremely difficult to get an ESF primary school interview nowadays, more and more local students want to shift from local to international due to heavy homework pressures and decided to change! Now, no matter it's ESF, Kellett, Nord Anglia or other primary international, the waiting list is almost over 100 (even some of them over 400) on waiting list! Many applicants even have no chance for an interview after paid the application fee. Thus, I choose to put my baby to ESF kinder first.. At least hv the priority for ESF primary interview. The kinder told me at least my girl will have 3 ESF primary interviews, they are : 1 foundation school according to catchment area which will be Shatin Junior, 2nd will be Renaisssance College and 3rd will be Discovery College (but this one is too far). In 2014-15 annual report of ESF Tsing Yi, over 90% of their kinder students got into ESF primary! thus, I think to play safe, can apply another 2-3 international schools at kid's K1 final term as an alternative, just in case kid's failed the ESF primary interview! But many of my friends said no worry, usually can get in except your kid's English is not good cuz they mainly look into kid's speaking English!

Omg ... I'm going crazy in selecting school...

We are lucky to get accepted in ESF kinder TY directly through late application . No waiting

But we already registered for vic and already paid the $11000 levy as well

So we are still in the dilemma which to pick . Btw we live right above vic in Olympic station . And there is a little sister to follow

So if your gal has adopted the Vic style! Then no harm to continue with Vic till finished k3... If at her k2 you feel that local school is not your cup of tea or if Education Bureau is getting worst on local school's system, then you may start to consider to shift your daughter to international school and apply ahead! If she could continue to adapt to local style such as dictation, copying words and prepare to learn maths (perhaps prepare the level similar to P1-P2 while she still at K3)... and she can manage all well! Then it should be no problem for choosing local stream for her primary! Thus, Victoria is good that it can be both aim for local or international...

Agreed. Actually I think it's not very good to switch schools too often . If Vic suits her . Then your answer is clear :p I know many ESF kids still need outside help in Chinese and math .

And one good thing abt Vic is - it also has VSA as a backup . Anyway good luck to anything u choose . Btw which Vic you currently going ?

But I don't know how to compare VSA and ESF primary , maybe park88 can share some insights? Thx

Oh I'm not too familiar with VSA, but I've done lots of homeworks on ESF group of schools, for it's primary, I like Kowloon Junior, Shatin Junior and Beacon Hill School! For Secondary, I like both KGV and Shatin College very very much! I've read all of their Annual reports on the website! I've also talked with the existing or ex-ESF parents, the comments are so positive that they gave me great confidence in the school! So if you feel Vic is more suitable for your girl, you may have a try first, otherwise you may feel regret!
