our kid is the current tko nursery student. I would say your worry is justified but dun overthink, my dear.
We deliberately speak only Cantonese to our boy since day 1 he was born as it is such a harder language. His English level would NOT become weaker as long as you choose a good school.
I could assure you our kid's English in fact is getting better and betterby day. He is so confident in speaking to our helper or stranger in both English and Cantonese.
if Chinese is a big concern to you. Just sign your child up with some Chinese classes outside. this is what we did.
I recommend FIS to people around me as well.
Hi. I applied for NS for 23-24 for my girl. Of course we are yet to receive any invitation to interview/assessment but may I ask if you could share the process of NS assessment?

The kids go into the classroom area in groups of 5-6. Each group has two teachers. The kids will do various activities (playing with toys, drawing, listening to stories, chatting with the teachers) while you wait in the canteen.

Thanks! They do invite according to the date the applications were received. I applied in May but sibling priority places us at the front of the queue.
Did you check with Admissions about your application status? I assume your child has a foreign passport? July 2021 doesn't sound that late... They didn't make an announcement about Nursery admissions until September. The school still wasn't sure Nursery will be offered in 2022-23 when I enquired in May, so I could only apply for Reception.

no regular French lesson yet for nursery. However, one of the TA is French native and in addition to that, every Wed, they will let French stream reception students to mingle with intl stream. therefore, my son now knows one or two simple French now quite funny

Thanks for the information!!!
May I also ask if the environment outside the school is bad now? Since there is construction on going next to the school at the moment. Is it very noisy and dusty?

You're super early. In recent years, I know people who got assessment invitations (for TKO Reception) even though they applied in September (e.g. Sep 2020 application for RC 2021-22). That's why I think applying July 2021 for RC 2023-24 stands a decent chance...
