GSIS Y8 2024/2025 entrance

CorMa

各位媽媽👩 我雖然收到通知話小朋友成功通過 Y8 assessment tests,但係冇firm offer。焦慮中, Y8 係咪就算考到都未必入到架？

唔知佢哋多唔多人走呢？

終於都開咗學了，知道Y8都好似有幾個新生，不過admission一直都講冇人走，真係有D confused同埋完全掌握唔到自己嘅status 㖭
只係話只要有leaver，佢哋就會將有 priorities 同冇priorities 嘅candidates 一齊review 再make decision

I think everything is set by now unless someone suddenly withdraw before summer. The last day of school is 20Jun.
If no news it means it’s still on waiting list.

Overall there are more international schools now and hence more vacancies. However there are more locals applying as well. Generally speaking if you have foreign passport it’s easy to get a spot but for locals, it’s still not as easy to get in your desired school due to more applicants.
There should be more mainland families now but the overall rate is 3% in GSIS (by passports). Actually there are more HK local families now, in the past it’s very hard for locals to get into kindergarten and lower primary so it might be good news for locals.

At least in business sectors, it is undeniable fact there are much less expats. So this should drive competition for international schools spaces less intense.

Are there more mainland families now?

One more thing, based on my observation, someone might be leaving in year 11 to go for sixth form in uk or US boarding school, quite a few of them left back then. But that could be too late to switch from local to international for the teens. They might treasure the friendships more

My child graduated more than 4 years ago. I recalled in year 8, there were like 3-4 new students , out of total cohort size of around 60 kids. The graduation cohort was less than that.

如果都唔喜歡本地的模式，當然早D轉好，將慳返來做功課準備考試的時間去social, 睇書運動玩音樂都更好。
