My girl need to apply P1 on Sept at ESF-Clear Water Bay and I also want to apply RCHK. She's study at ESF (Abacus) for K1. But I am not sure need to prepare the portfolio or not? Becasue she is under Cat. 2, when I check with the Abacus, she suggest to me apply more another IS. So I am afraid very difficult to pass the interview. Any
parents can share the experience to me??

The old lady is going back to her own world. Good day.

If you think you are a reponsible parent, please reply me first.

People make mistake, and I do. So I will apologize if you can point out my mistake, with proof. Saying people " Pain in the ???" will not help. Other will just look down you and think what kind of school parents it is. I will apologize if I have to, will you?

I am an RC parent.
I have held back and tried not to write further in the other topic.
I thought things have cooled down.
I am so disappointed to see that some people are still dragging on.
I think ev ...

be relaxed. everybody made and will make mistakes. BK is just a place for blowing water.
in the world of internet, many people provide info and not every piece is 100% (like wikipedia, always being criticized contain false information but still many people look for info there).
maybe u are very objective in posting viewpoint  here, u cannot deny some insider parents here are really sensitive (or too serious) to comment from outsiders.
Instead of criticizing, why not share more correct insider information about the school for other parents? Thats one of the main purpose parents come here! looking for information about different schools.
Of course, 100% wrong information should be criticized.

You mean RCHK is not very good? Because I also plan to apply this school. I don't have too many choice for IS since my limited budget for my girls. Could you tell me more about RCHK from your point of ...

I said many times, I think RC is as good as other ESF School. Just some "real" RC parents don't like people to "speak 3 tell 4" about RC as oooray said.....

Sorry for my interrupt, as I'm a gossip:
1. Don't ask popolung comments on RC further. She is not a RC parent (Instead, She will be a CWB parent, keep asking her about CWB!) Some RC parents do not like outsiders "talk 3 and talk 4";
2. I will be an RC parent. I will not comment until I'm a RC parent. hor hor;
3. Type "RC" to search this forum. U will find a lot of funny discussion here;
4. I have limited budget, too. That's why I only applied normal ESF(central application)/RC/DC.
I'm not saying that other IS are no good but most of them are beyond my ability to afford (I have 2 children);
5. As an Abacus parent, no need to worry too much;
6. I don't like RC coz it is too far away from my home (nobody can challenge me!). So, I'm thinking of moving to Shatin or MOS 2 years later.

Do you have any suggestion I can apply (IS Primary) for spare?

I don't have any idea, i just will apply RCHK and CWB. But I know this is not enough, could you please let me know which one is better ...

You can also try ICS, CIS, HKIS, ISF, GSIS..... if money is not your concern.

RCHK - school fee $6xxx
ESF CWBS - school fee $5xxx

They are both under ESF, I will say quality is quite similar. I don't want to go further as you may see there are some RC parents which think they are the only one who can talk about RC, and they think no matter what I said, is badmouthing RCHK..... sigh......

I think you can get an "address proof" easily, but I think the real case is if you apply to an ESF that is not near your house, then bear in mind you will need to figure out the daily transportation of your kids, as most ESF are not close to MTR station, and may need your helper to bring them to school if you kids are too small.

Yes. U should "prepare" some residental proof (e.g. utlity bill, bank statement" earlier if u decide to "choose" your favorite school.

Are your girl studying in Abacus already?

For ESF school, you need to apply via ESF Center, and they will put you in the list of your school according to placement zone. So when you are in Abacus, so should be Sai Kung, TKO or CWB and a bit of Nam Tim. So it will be CWBS. You can't choose KJS or SJS unless you move to live there.

Also you can apply to RC / DC and they have not limit on placement zone, but they are PIS under ESF.

Thanks, Popolung.

Alam sent you PM, please check.

This year because of Financial Tsunami, demand of IS shift, so demand of ESF is overwhelming. Don't want to repeat, try look at our older posts. So demand of CWBS is even higher (for Cat 1) as there are a lot of foreigners in Sai Kung & CWB.

Anyway hope next year will be different, but I think this year at least ESF has tried very hard to put all Abacus student into all ESF primiary school. And most of all, KJS & SJS are good schools too, just kids'transportation may be a headache to parents though.
