secondary school admission policy

貝珠

我女兒下一年才year one, 選了非through train 的IS 小學。想先了解一下ESF secondary 的收生程序，評估一下競爭有多大。其實其他IS 的中學我也會考慮，主要考慮IB, IGCSE 為主，學費比較平宜的，debentures 或capital levy 也不想太重負擔太重。新界東為主，local passport

Your information is so valuable to me. The picture is very clear now, and match with what the Esf admission manager said.

放棄龍IS, 有現在的選擇，對自己小朋友是有信心的。以secondary school admission 來説，實力加運氣同樣重要。

5) elder kid still have classmates 插班 once in a while, all blended into the class successfully

3) non-selective maybe true - one classmate of my elder one is weak academically (as told by my kid), however still got a ESF place. I bumped into him recently, he is enjoying school life, maybe because ESF put students into different groups according to ability

4) when come to choosing Y7, kids have their own idea. My younger one’s classmates may have 10 applied for ESF, all got pass, however finally only 5 took the offer because the other 5 would like to join another secondary school

2) yes, there’s still a random number for Y7 central application. A few years ago when my elder one and those classmates applied ESF, I remembered all of them got the assessment. This year my younger one and classmates r born in 金豬年，some classmates didn’t get assessment notification. Parents phoned ESF, they were told that’s because too many applicants and their random number r not favorable

I have my elder kid in upper form and my younger one coming to join Y7 in ESF. Both from the same international primary school not linked with any secondary. My observation:

1) kids from international primary schools should have no problem passing the written test and the interview. However kids from local “good” schools might not pass because their training r different. While my kid ranked the English paper “easy”, friend from local school even could not have enough time to finish it

大約估到邊間中學，新小學比RC小學好？

哈哈，兩間都未讀，如何比呢？有時選學校，要做很多取捨，也和策略，時機有關

The primary school one form admission aims at reducing admin workload. But for the secondary school admission, I doubt how one form will work.

除左英基，仲有乜打算？你間小學有冇聯繫中學可以優先入讀？

係有聯繫學校，如果當時沒有其他更好offer , 也應該大機會可以去到聯繫學校

也會考慮RC , RC 的admission 應該和ESF 有分別的

應該信學校official announcement, 記者報導未必準確
