70-80% singaporeans only in the past two years, for years before singaporeans % were less.... say in my eldest son class [now at P1--- HK ppl % is about 50%]


some's theory was that, in the past 2 years, as the new SIS secondary school campus was very well established, many more [including Sin] believed the school could provide a very good through-train education from PY to Sec, therefore, the no. of Sin. entering at PY1 increased.

Another theory was that, the no. of Sin. expats in HK has soared in the past years, that's why.....

hope such further details could paint a clearer picture

For PY, not regularly have work sheets which are more common since P1.

For PY1, they started to have English and Chinese reading schemes which require the kids to finish a list of books at your own pace cos' different kids have different capabilities.

If you want to learn more about their school work/ work sheets, you can visit SIS website and take a look at, say, Primary Section where the spelling lists etc could be downloaded by everyone.

Any more good news?

Hi, ikerberg, how do you see the chance for waiting-list kids? According to your experience, roughly how many kids would be on waiting list?

In my view, the chance for SIS's wait list is not bad.  The main reason is that it is highly likely, at this stage, a certain number of seats [10-20 would be a good guess] for possible reception of late Singaporean candidates' application which will complete perhaps by May.   

So, compared to other schools which only get 1 seat when 1 accepted kid quits, if the no. of late applicants is not large, there would be chances that a few to around ten [I guess] seats will be released by May.   The very final seats would be in Sept when some accepted kids finally quit.  

Given SIS being a pragmatic school, I think it would not keep a very long waiting list to give false hope to those candidates who see no chance at all to be accepted.   

The final question would be whether your kid is at the top portion of the waiting list, which is prioritised according to the marks of kids' performance in the interview.

Hope the above analysis could help!

Good luck!

Many thanks ikerberg, your information is so helpful. Fingers crossed then.

Forbaby, any backup plan?  In my opinion, ICA is quite a good backup.... and should be much easier to get in.... but for sure, outside school effortS on Chinese learning is unavoidable.... if you go for ICA.

You are so kind ikerberg. My son is currently staying at kcis, which is not bad. He is quite happy there. I will not change to other school then, if not sis.

forbaby, I can assure you that SIS is worth the switch!

forbaby

I believe so, but I don't have an offer yet. I don't know how to get over the waiting months.. As we have no any priorities, I don't know if we really have the luck. Ikerberg, do you know if the waiting list is still valid after Sep? Did you see any kids quit or relocate to other countries during the first term? I am trying to figure out if we can have a last chance when the term starts.

ikerberg

There are kids quitting after Sept; say in my eldest son's P1 class, there was a kid going back to Singapore, and the seat was filled by a new student who, I believe, was on the waiting list.   So, it appears that the list would still be there until a new batch created through the interview of the next academic year.

My son also got wait listed. not singaporean, no priority... called up the admissions office but they cannot tell me how far down he is on the waiting list. At least I know he did well in the interview... but we have just got to wait....
for those who still haven't got letters, i don't think they finished sending acceptance letters yet so may be it's good news!! :)
