In the first year being a through-trained school, my kid got offer in Oct and we queued no. 5x in the waiting list at that moment. We dont have foreign passport.
Expat left/gonna leave hk, Int’l school has to maintain passport/local ratio due to license restriction, no passport kid will not be high chance as before
I know of a kid without any priority who got Hillside K1 PM offer a couple of years ago. He attended the play visit and then was put on waitlist, but was offered shortly thereafter. Not sure whether it is becoming increasingly difficult nowadays.
That kid didn’t take the ESF offer though, and went to Victoria Kindergarten instead. He actually is a very naughty boy, but smart and presentable (chatterbox).
