.....下...唔係呱...
英基話晒都係大學校... 唔會咁兒戲到時開唔成...或遲...
咁...有無問如不能如期,,,咁我地d小朋友點...

我想都係佢地保守回應吧....

當日我問左, 佢地都係答, estate management company會大約5月交site比佢地, 咁esf由5月開始自己裝修...佢地好有信心係可以如期開學. 不過我諗未必咁smooth, 因為之前我囡囡nursery讀HK Preschool, 佢又係搬新campus, 點知又係打風, license未批, 雖然最後都好似如期開到學, 不過要家長陪上堂成3星期, 因為無license, 只可以當playgroup咁上, 好多家長當時又要請假無晒預算....

不過係新campus我都有心理準備係咁, 希望唔會delay太耐....新校長大約4-5月先會嚟香港, 所以好多野佢地可能都答唔實...

我都係擔心緊校車問題咋...

I hope it will be fine, but as potential WKS students, parents do call ESF frequently and ask them more about the WKS facilities and completion date, so make sure ESF management alert about this issue.

Also parents can group yourselves and go to meet the new principal and ESF mgt once she is on board in Apr / May. I guess it will help.

welcome. Go talk to the school and ESF more. This is how we deal with foreigners and overseas management, and in most of the case they don't mind we ask more and keep communicate. Good Luck to all. You will find your kids love to go ESF Kinder and this worth the wait and worry for the time being.

cuz my girl is studying in Leapfrog(90% is native), which also a very good kinder and students go to ESF primary. I don't want to change her environment......
cuz she loves to go to school so much, I think most students in WKS is chinese, I want to provide her a good environment to learn english for early age.

DearDaniel

I attended both TY visit & info session already but I don't see things so negative. It's true that there may be some teething problems ahead but as a whole the school's quite good.  During both meeting with Jeni, she reassured us that K2 WKS student this year will have priority to ESF primary, so lets hope for the best!

Is it a special offer for WKS 插班K2 students (K1 is not in esf kinder)?

It's right that past record of high % of student to get into the SJS & RC, but in the future, i think they will accept their own students.
Just I feel not worth......

I gave up the offer from EFS(WKS) finally.

I think they are talking about priority for interview, not acceptance.... just like other ESF Kinder.

hi alenna, in my information session, Jeni stressed that k2 students won't have the priority for esf primary interview, as they don't stay in ESF kinder for 2 consecutive terms. just a friendly reminder, remember to cross check with the school!

They offer my daughter the afternoon session. Do you know there is any chance to ask them change to morning session?

Thank you for your friendly remind, I'll clarify it one more time. When I went for TY visit, the first thing Jeni told us was " Good news to U !" She said she's talked to ESF & fight for the " priority for interview" and that's successful since this year is special. And during the info session, she also told us the same thing and stressed that it's only for this year's intake. Anyway, it's just like the other ESF kinder. only priority for interview, not entering the primary school. :loveliness:

quite unlikely. But take the chance to get in ESF Kinder as many other doesn't have that chance at all. :loveliness:
