Matthewdad, Daydream:

Myself is a very good example to illustrate the situtation.
My baby studied at local kider. when we applied ESF (before 2nd term of K2). There was no interview being offer in
that winter. Until the summer time of K3, ESF called
and offer an interview for Grade 2.

Therefore, I believe Daydream's understanding is correct.
Matthewdad may agure why does ESF not offer interview to all applicants. However, when there is sufficient first
prioritized applicants in the year to fill up all seating, why
brother? If you are in ESF's position, it is absoultuly correct.

只是一個討論的問題, 可以引起火花;
令我明白現今的下一代為何越來越無品,
因為有這樣的父母; 可悲......

討論區，點可能個個意見一樣？
我一直覺得 "國際學校" 這邊的家長，
大部份都好有見地，
當然，我唔會同意每個人的言論，
但討論區的作用，就係意見交流。

我唔知你來這裡的目的，
但就這樣拋下一句 "無品"，
似乎亦非君子所為。

可悲的是誰家孩子？

I do not want to complicate things further nor do I intend to get involved in the arguement as I already have my hands full in another thread.  

My kid is 100% chinese, speaks English most of the time and go to school in UK.  Whenever I've enquired about admission in various International Schools including ESF (SJS, KJS, RC, JIS, HLYIS), I was told that we would have priority on the waiting list as my son was classified as Cat 1.  Maybe because we applied from overseas they considered us as native English.

Let me teach you such an IS idiot!

A native English kid will be belonged to Cat 1 no matter which kinder he/she is studying (or even no kinder has been attended) and no matter he/she can speak Canton ...

The one who is always day-dreaming is you.  I have seen many of your postings in IS forum. However, you are so ignorant on IS and you had better not to express your naive and igornant views in IS.

Y6baba,

As you like to to have quantity data please advise me the number of esf kinder, non-chinese speaking kinder and local kinder has get a place in esf and other is. If you have no data, how can you comment for other people's information?

Bear in mind, this is open discussion forum, it is up to you to listen or not. Argue with quantity data doesn't make any sense at all.

From your reply, it shows very clear that you don't understand the ESF priorities and how to categorize.
I didn't comment anything, did I ?? It is quite comprehensible.
Limited doesn't means none, comparatively......!!
"so many non-local kinder"......how many ?? more than local kinder ?? You better tell me about it.
native english......what Cat. they belongs to.....??
hope you know and know why that girl don't have offer !!

I will not reply this again.
It never ends, since you can never prove.

Your statment "And the seats are always limited for non-ESF kinder student." This statement is wrong again as there are so many non-local kinder. Does this meant they have lower priority even they are native english?

daydream are right, it should be "so many applicants with a higher priority at that year together", the chance was slim that year. And the seats are always limited for non-ESF kinder student.

Be rational!!

> Day dreaming - you are really day dreaming In esf web site, it is very clear that Applicants in category one will be invited for interview before those in category two, regardless of the date of application.

Category One

Children who speak English as a first or alternative language but do not speak Cantonese and/or read and write Chinese characters.

Category Two

Children who can access the local system but who also meet ESF's entrance requirements.

Thank you for your clarify.
May be you should say it in the first place.

BTW,
"the reason is she can speak chinese "
is it a assumption or by record sent from school.
