Cat 2 是沒有機會

MaryBrown

可靠消息,  我幾個老外family,  參加了ESF 學校的講座，講座公佈單是老師子女+sibling+ESF 幼稚園CAT1學生，已超額， 那剩如的老外但非ESF幼稚園學生有70多, 還有30多是CAT 2 。那70多加30多連interview 的機會也沒有，我的老外family,  還有許多老外在講座時立刻起哄，但學校只說無奈， 我老外friend 好慘，因他們也不是很有錢去讀其它貴的國際學校， 又不能讀本地學校。

May i check if your child currently study in ESF kinder?

My son goes to ESF Abacus.  Let's put it this way, we are warned that if you are Cat 2, there's no space for you in CWBS.  But literally, all children at ESF abacus should be Cat 1, except for maybe 1 or 2 odd Cat 2 that got in with sibling priorities.  Even so, there are 90 Abacus K2 children and with Cat 1 children with sibling already at CWBS, the chances are that CWBS cannot absorb all Cat 1 children from Abacus.  So... in short, no chance for outsiders even if you are Cat 1 for CWBS catchment area.  

With that said... there are several children, including my son, who are either not belonging to the CWBS catchment area or leaving at the end of the school year.

They been offer an interview for RC, DC, but not KJS!

i don't know how was the situation last year, did all the children eventually got interview?

For KJS, last year if you are in Cat 2, most of them also no chance for interview!

For the one who wants to apply RCHK (year one) for your kid, please have a look of the following information which is prepared by the school.

Em...I'd better elaborate a little bit more.
1) good communication skill & proficiency in speaking English
2) knowledgeable
3) well behavior
RCHK should maintain 70% of HK resident and since the applicants are far more than the existing places, they would choose the suitable students.
And the interview time was extended from 30 mins to 1 hour since last year.

KJS是也

Hey cissyc, may i
Know which esf p u were applying for ur younger kids? So wierd that even u hv an elder one in still u got no interview...then where do those cat1 come from? Mainland or tw? I know le ...

Lots of Euroasian, Indian, Korean and Japaense kids are all categorized as Cat 1. Look at KJS's mix and you can see how easily those 150 spots in Y1 can be taken up by Cat 1 kids, including the ones who don't go to ESF Kindy.

well i think it well applies to RC, but definitely not to esf primary as the priority system is about cat 1/cat 2.
when i was told i won't be giving chance for an interview for my kid who is now in TY K2 with sibling at the primary school, i questioned the principal that will all 100% cat 1 be necessary suceeded in the interview, he said even though they fail, there are still many cat 1 in the queue. i hesitate how come there are so many cat 1 and how they make the definition.

明白了，即是若三無人士入esf kg 就唔好大安旨意， 一定要有後備計劃啦！但rchk唔係後備啩？聽你地呓講唔易入噃？明白了，即是若三無人士入esf kg 就唔好大安旨意， 一定要有後備計劃啦！但rchk唔係後備啩？聽你地呓講唔易入噃？ ...

我沒有當RC為後備計劃因為RC都是心儀選擇。當時我申請其他IS為後備。

其實後備計劃任何時候都應該要有。極大部分人都有申請ESF 小學和 ESF私校RC或 DC。想入ESF小學應該讀英基幼稚園尤其是"三無人仕＂。
