Results of ESF K2 students' primary school application?

mother30

Hi all,
My son is in ESF K1 now.
Just wondering what are the results of K2 students in their primary schools applications? Are all who applied to ESF primary accepted?
Anyone didn't apply to ESF but other IS primary?
Grateful if you can share your experience here. Thanks.....

I had declined the K2 offer of WKS KG due to house removal matter. And the application was transfered to SW KG by the central office.

Anyway be prepared the English environment for the interview (if any).

Oh really? The birth rate of 2005 is higher then 2004?
If so, I couln't imagine how's the chance to gets admitted in ESF Y1 after add-in one more WKS KG. The chance of interview will be very slim for ...

Yes, dear son is in K1. However, the birth rate of 2005 is even higher than 2004, competition is going to be very keen for the coming year...

So, the only thing I can do is "RAY".
Hope my catchment zone is not that keen coming year.

We know this is a very competitive year and just want to be informed on how good or bad the kids have done this year so we all have a good idea what's ahead of us...

I actually wrote to the deputy principal at TY and expressed my concern. She said the kindergarten is preparing a notice to inform all families soon. I hope we will see this notice soon...

This year is just too competitive, but I know ESF kinders are making their best effort to find place for kids in other ESF Primary school even not in their placement zone, but only a chance for interview. As I said, successful or not is still rely on the kid's capabilities.

You may want to call the ESF Center too and see if they can help.

Good Luck to all!

Most accepted (from Abacus), but there are a few still failed in the interviews (too bad to know), then those may be individual cases, just heard.

Anyway studying in ESF Kinder don't 100% guarantee you have a place in ESF primary, just to guarantee you to have a very high chance for interview, ok or not will really depend on the kid performance.

the school (TY) will not tell us the detail as privacy.
