Another question if I may - for Y3, what level of materials do they use? By that I mean, Chinese/ Math use HK curriculum, so they are using “HK P3” materials. How about Eng and other subjects, since they follow the UK curriculum - do they use “UK Y3” or “UK Y4” materials?

If your elder one had accept the offer and registered, your yourger old has the priority once there is a place in year one.

Yes, I think so.

Your elder one will join year 3, and younger one is on waiting list for year 1 right?

Do u mean you have a younger kid on year one's waiting list?

mrcamel

I understand there is Sibling Priority if there is an older child in the school, but how "realistic" it is for the younger kid to enter into Y1 if the kid is on "waiting list"? In other words, do we know if there are applicants (who have accepted the Y1 offer) will quit/ withdraw the acceptance during Y1 period?

We wonder that if there’s any place we could turn to for further questions (after acceptance of offer)?

Thanks. How important is sports in YMCA - how many PE classes do they have per week, and do they have sports teams or lots of sports related ECAs?

Thanks. One more question - what is the homework load for Y3, and what is the nationality mix of the students? YMCACC (secondary) surely is diverse, but the primary may not be the case.

3 classes for year 3, around 25 students per class.
No need to go outside. There is an outdoor playground plus an indoor playground (school hall). And the roof top is now undergoing renovation, which will also be used for PE lesson in the future. The only lesson needs to go outside is the swimming lesson.

And where do they go for PE class - is it outside the campus?
