Yes they follow catchment zone but those living in whole Kowloon and TKO (Abacus/KJS/BHS) will channel to KGV anyway. For HKI 5 primaries into 3 secondaries, NT 1 to 1. Somehow they can always accommodate all the students since a lot esp expats will leave at y7. However like KGV probably no more space for outsiders.
If apply for year 7 entry from non-ESF IS, which one would be easier? KGV or S ...
According to Esf admission talk , there is no capacity for kgv to take non Esf students for recent years. In recent years, Sc can take some non Esf students. However, with increasing popularity of SC, I doubt if it is the same 5 to 6 years later.
