想請問esf教中文是否教簡體字並非繁體字？

如果希望小朋友打好中文根底，是否要出外補習？

Any kids have interview in ESF Y1 this week? Can you share any expereince after interview?

My daughter got an interview with one of the oldest ESF for year 1.  The teacher, principal and the staff all said that she will be admitted for 2009.  However, the acceptance letter will not be sent out until after the Chinese new year.  In my opinion, ESF teachers are more professional rather than the general ESL teachers than the other IS get.  ESF recruits directly from the UK.  Most teachers are long term career educator there.

Added:  the school only takes in about 8 students (or 9) for each session.  The principal will conduct the information session whereas the main admission teacher will take the children to the classroom.  My daughter did not really tell me anything about the interview but it was conducted in a group manner.  One of the exercise is to ask my daughter to draw a picture.  In the mean time, the principal took us to tour the whole campus, visit many classrooms in action, and talked about our concerns.  Each classroom has one main teacher in charge and an assistant at all time.  I don't know whether many interview sessions they have per day.  If they only have one, then they only invite a very limited number of students for interview.  So, if you got a chance for an interview, your chance of success will be a lot higher.  I hope this will help.

Almost all parents were British so all will be accepted to the school.  I don't know the detail of the test because my daughter didn't really tell me or she just too young to remember.   If you got a letter for an interview, the chance of success is very high.  There was only one interviewer, that is the British teacher in charge of admission.  The admission teacher has the 100% power to admit or deny any application.  Oh, the school was in Hong Kong side and the interview told about 45 minutes.  The principal told the parents that the competition for a space in ESF schools is extremely competitive, qualified people have to wait for years before there is a vacancy.

When did you receive the result?
Did ESF staff announce the result to all parents? or one to one?
Are you wait in the waiting area?

Just received an email message from SJS and so glad to know that she has been accepted by the school.  We have 2 weeks time to consider if we take this offer.

In other forums, most ESF said it will post admission letter out in early Feb. In NatMom case (congratulation to NatMom too) it may mean competition among IS in Shatin is keen too (SJS, RCHK, ICS, GSIS) so school like SJS start to take student first.... just my guess!

NatMom

I don't know if it's due to the keen competition.  But I know all SJS applicants will be informed by email today if they were accepted.

So do you know when was the 1st interview of SJS (Cat 1) started? And finished already?

Congratulation to Natmom!  It looks like that they need the 2 weeks consideration period for Catagory 1 applicants to decide whether to accept or to deny the offer so that they can count the space available for Catagory 2 offers in the second round.  That is why they need to send out the letter after the Chinese new year, that is about 2 weeks from Natmom got her email notice.

Hi Bigbighei,

I saw from another forum that your kid has interview in RC. In here you said you do not have the interview of ESF. Are your kids studying in ESF Kinder or other kinders. Thank you.
