Hi Yau_Cheung,

Yes, my 2nd choice is RC.  Last night Tsing Yi ESF Kinder held a parent meeting in their school.  I met some parents whose kids are studying in RC, they all have good word of mouth of the school and showed appreciation on the progress and development of their kids while parents from SJS have some negative comments about teacher's morale and the kids' sense of belonging to the school.

How old is your friend's son, did they graduate from the school for some time or just recently ?

Many thanks.

hi chuchuma,

We lived in Kennedy Town so our target school is Kennedy School.  My friend's son also graduated in SJS and SC.  She said that they are excellent.  What is your 2nd choice?  RC?

各位媽咪:

小女打算入讀 ESF 幼稚園，但計劃讀傳統或直資小學。
請問怎樣解決在那裡插班讀 K3 ？因 ESF 只有 K1- K2。
有那間學校會接受這類學生入讀 K3 (除了國際學校) ？
有沒有媽咪有相同經驗？

Thank you very much!

Yau_Cheung,

Thanks for your reply,

請問妳小朋友之前是否讀esf kinder? 如果我幫仔仔報幼稚園, 是否報讀英文幼稚園的機會較大? 謝謝.

Yes, both my hushand and myself received the same acknowledgement.

Which school you're target for ?  My 1st choice is Shatin Junior, however, knowing that the competition is very keen, I have a bit worried though my son's Englis is OK but sometimes kid's performance during the interview process is out of our control.

How about you ?

hi helloBB-SP,

Apply ESF year 1, priority will be given to students who are attending an ESF Kindergarten.  As ESF has 3 kin and 10 primary, many year 1 students come from non-ESF kins.

hi all parents,

Yesterday I received the below acknowledgement from ESF.  Do you receive the same?


Subject: Acknowledgement of ESF Year 1 Application for Academic Year 2008/09

4 October 2007

Dear Parent,

Thank you for applying to ESF for a place in Year One in an ESF school in August 2008. We would like to advise you of the next steps in the application process.

Applications received at ESF Centre before the Year One deadline of 24 September 2007 will be drawn randomly by computer to determine the order in which they are processed.

Applications will then be sorted by category and priority within category. First offers for interviews will go to those in category one. Within each category those with a priority are processed first.

The priorities are:

those with siblings in an ESF school
those whose parents are former students of an ESF school
those attending ESF Kindergartens (for Y1)
The individual ESF schools according to zone will inform you by letter whether your child has been offered an interview in early December. Interviews will take place at the beginning of the New Year  

Please also note that, dependent on applications received, there may be a need for school re-zoning to balance numbers across schools.   

As we have limited spaces, those not offered an interview are placed on the wait list according to their category and the number they have drawn.

If you have any questions on the Year One admissions process, please contact our Admissions Manager, Ms Julie Wong at [email protected].

Kind regards,

Chris Forse

English Schools Foundation
