:And later I talked to a parent-volunteer for more info, she told me that, as she knows, they have only very few students from non-ESF, almost rare.


But I also heard that many students form ESF kinder can not get into ESF P1...you know the seats in ESF P1 are much more than ESF kinder...

so confuse....

My son will study N1 in TT next year, but I am thinking which kinder I should choose after N1...
My choice is ICS, TT or ESF WKS kinder...

My P1 choise is first SJS and second RC

No confusion at all.

ESF primary (and PIS too) need to interview the students. There are always ESF kindergarten children that DID NOT pass the interview.

Even if there are 10000 seats in primary, you are not up to the standard, you will not get a place. Fair enough?

For your information, there are always ESF kindergarten children that get NO OFFER from ESF (and PIS); and at the same time, there are children from local kindergarten that got acceptance offered.

I can understating pass the interview is the most important point.
But during the interview, do you think students come from ESF kinder will have extra point? I mean does ESF P1 prefer students from ESF kinder or no different at all?
This answer can affect my final decision on the kinder selection, as I mentioned before my kinder choice is TT, ICS and ESF WKS…actually we don’t really like ESF WKS at all…if ESF WKS doesn’t have any advantage during the interview, then I can make up my decision…

Can you give me more advice?

So the following sentence is not the correct? And later I talked to a parent-volunteer for more info, she told me that, as she knows, they have only very few students from non-ESF, almost rare.

Could you share why you don't like ESF WKS at all? I am still thinking whether I will apply my kid to ESF TY or WKS.  Thanks.

Isftsang:
I have read a lot of bad comments about ESF WKS at this forum.

I'm afraid u still have a little bit mixed up regarding ESF/PIS admission procedures.

ESF kinder students do have a priority for an interview offer;

Once u are chosen for interview, I don't think ESF kinder students will have any advantages over other non-ESF kinder students.

The only adantage of being a ESF kinder students are that u will have a very high chance (almost secure) of getting  "interview" offer from ESF primary and PIS.

The problem of being non-ESF kinder students (especially u are Cat. 2 w/o siblings) is that u will have a lower chance for getting an interview; no matter how smart u are.

Any extra point for ESF students during inteview? Who knows? even if i send a email to the primary teacher who is responsible for interview, to be politically correctness, her answer must be "No".

I fully understanding about the ESF P1 interview Policy.
Many people had mentioned this policy in this forum before, but how come the total % of ESF kinder students(Cat2) can get into ESF P1 is not that high?I really can't understanding at all...or I have the wrong info?Please correct me....

"the total % of ESF kinder students(Cat2) can get into ESF P1 is not that high?"

becuase too many Cat 1, u know even cat 1 non esf student, don't have chance for interview.

It is a riddle.
I only know that staying inside ESF kinder can almost secure (or have a higher chance nowadays) interview offer for ESF primary and PIS.
Whether u can pass or not depend on your performance.

In RC, through my informal gossiping throughout the year, 09/10 Year 1 non-ESF kinder children are not RARE.
In popular ESF primary like KJS/BHS/SJS, children from Cat. 2 non-ESF kinder should be rare.
Regarding 10/11 situation, any parents share?
