Esf one form application not for 2017-18

Chase922

Important Announcement from ESF Centre on August 29, 2017:

As the Education Bureau is still reviewing the $2000 application fee for Discovery College and Renaissance College, the new ‘one form’ application system will NOT be launched for admissions processing for 2017-18. The Year 1 and Year 7 Central Application will commence on 1 September under the current online application system. Dual applications will continue to be permitted to ESF and the two private independent schools (PIS).  Applications to Discovery College and Renaissance College are through separate application processes, detailed on each of the college’s websites.

can pick if you have 2 or more properties in different catchment areas (we know some people do), or simply renting an apartment in the zone your target school falls in (we know some people doing that too)

parents do not have a choice to pick, is still esf decides on the catchment zone.

It seems unfair if some esf kindie need to go to SJS interview while some no need

agree, kids do perform better in a familiar environment.  And would like to know what happens to the parent interview as well.

Does that mean the kids don't have to go for an interview?

What is meant by "enhanced liaison"?

According to the principal, in addition to the kindie visit, the SJS staff will come to WKS and observe the kids (who have interview offers). This will happen on a normal school day.

I'm not too sure how this works either, but heard from my friend that other schools like Munsang are also using similar approach to assess kindie kids.

From what I heard during the info session, SJS will still come to visit, but the interview is changed into what they called an "enhanced liaison", and parents won't be informed of the date.

You may find this in the Y1 admission presentation slide.

Does the esf kindergarten will have both an observation at their kindie and an interview at the primary school? heard that SJS will only proceed with the observation at WKS with no interview at SJS
