Cdnis interview

Does anyone know how many seats are there in Pre-Reception, Reception and Year 1?

I've already missed Pre-reception so want to know when's the next best timing to apply.  Thanks!

I checked with the admission office, for reception year, they only take around 30 students.

Btw, for those who is on waiting list for reception year. FYI, there are around 100 kids on waiting list and on the waiting list they categorise average pass and high pass for the assessment.

Thanks for the information!  I tried to call admission office but always no one answer the phone...
We didn't even get a parent interview so very likely in the average pass category

you can call the school and ask the admission officer to call back. We don't have parents interview as well but the last told me that my son is at the high pass category.

i got waiting list too.....100 kids in waiting list! the chance is slim

do they only rely on the assessment result? or do they prioritize canadian passport holder in the waitling list?

we are canadian passport holder but we only get waiting list...guess my kid is average pass only...i will call and ask.

Does anyone got reject letter?
Got wait list letter, do we still need to pass the parents interview if seat is available?
I thinking holding a Canadian passport got priority right?!

Thanks for your information.
Means there is no chance for getting in grade 1, is my understanding right?

Grade 1 in CDNIS is equivalent to year 1 in British system (esf etc). If you mean year 1 in british system (5 year old), then there will be 12 seats + leavers (average about 10 per year). But heard this year most of these go to siblings (like the situation in ICS).

Sorry, i mean grade 1 in CDNIS equal to year 2 in british/esf system. year 1 in british / esf system means preparatory in CDNIS, 12 seats + leavers

My boy is studying Year 2 now. He will be in G1 in coming September.
According to your information, means there has no space for him.

There is an average of 10 leavers per year. So still a chance, though low.

Honestly, I guess having Canadian passport does not have too much edge in the application process as in HK, really too many Canadians.  Good luck.

That's true. The admission team told me they are very fair to all candidates and mainly rely on the assessment result. Canadian passport only guarantees interview but not more than that.

Not sure about other grades, but I am pretty sure that only 40 slots (not 80 slots) for Pre-reception meaning one am class and one pm class with 20 kids in each; and 120 slots for Reception grade, meaning add of additional 4 classes compared to Pre reception.

In this sense, Reception is the largest take-in among all the grades.
