關於ESF KINDER 嘅Play visit

Applepp123

請問play visit 同小朋友&家長傾計主要會圍繞啲咩問題？己經去左school Tour 雖然未收到invitation 但想早少少凖備，有少少緊張自己表現唔好影響小朋友⋯

This was what I thought but check this out:

http://www.esf.edu.hk/kindergartens-apply

Hillside do have 4 types of emails that i know so far.

1) invitation for those with priority
2) invitation for those without priority
3) invitation for those without priority and “may not be able to provide immediate place”
4) no play visit can be offered at this moment

Under the key dates, it mentioned that parents may receive one of the 3 different interview notification letters

Each campus arrange things differently and they send out email in different time.
e.g. TY and TC interview all applicants where Abacus & Hillside do not.  (I think last year Abacus also interviewed all, not 100% sure)
There should be 1 type of interview notification letter for TY & TC as they invite all applicants for interview.

For those applied hillside, there should be 2 type of letters.  One is invite for interview and another is "waitlist", means no interview.

There should be no "Reserved List" for kindergarten.  The 3 types of interview notification "Guarantee/Reserved/Waitlist" is only applicable to ESF Foundation schools, not PIS, not Kindergarten.

After being interviewed, there are 3 types of letters:
1. Offer a place or
2. passed but put on waitlist or
3. reject

Maybe there is no "waitlist" result letter from Hillside.  However "passed but put on waitlist" is not the same as "waitlist without interview".

I hope this helps.

I recalled that the invitation we received 2 years ago also did not state anything about priority (my boy is in K2 with Abacus now).

I believe you have applied wks campus, wks will interview all applicants. You will never know your random number. And no "categorise" letter will be sent out. I have only heard hillside will let applicants send out 3 types of letters, normal play visit , playvisit (reserve list) , and no playvisit can be offered

Agree with you and every system has pros and cons. I haven’t got the “categorized” letter yet, just wondering what I will feel if I see my baby can only be placed on “reserved list” even before interview

Esf is a non selective school. That's mean anyone pass the interview ( mainly focus in eng standard and appropriate social skill ) , they will get admitted according to random number. They are not aiming to select students with higher ability. Otherwise, it is just similar to local kinder which select "big B" , talkative baby. Should we embrace this system ?

Exactly, heard about this primary lottery too. IMHO at least for the ones that ESF cannot differentiate before interview, at least give everybody equal opportunity..?
