May i know are you holding a foreign passport and where do u live? i heard the Abcaus ESF is very hard to get in coz there's many many foreigner live in Sai Kung. I also want my girl get into Abcaus, however, Cantonese is our family's first language and we holding foreign passport. thanks a lot!!

Hi DragonBall ,

We are 100% pure local Hong Kong Chinese citizens and holding only HKSAR Passports.  
I think it is just like a luckydraw for the Category Two families applicant like us as some other parents said. We can do nothing after sent the application form, not even an interview provided. First priority for those kids from English speaking families or other families whose native language is not Cantonese (Category One).
I hardly to tell it is easy or not for the kid to get a seat but worth to try. Especially, if you aim for the ESF Primary School.

Application for 09-10 K1 will be start around Sept-Oct, according to past years. You should down load the form from their website and follow those procedures what they said.

Good luck.

I am planning to submit application for my son this Oct for him to get in next year (2009 - 2010). They accept admission from Oct 1 according to their website and they mention that there will be no advantage for early application.  Is this true?  Did you submit application from the 1st day of their application acceptance date?  Oct 1 is a public holiday, so I am planning to courier it to the school on Sep 30.  What do you think?

Hi HaileyChn,

I believe it is true, no advantage for early application, first come first serve basis not apply on them.
I just sent the application from Post Office  by registration and the date should be after the 7th Oct, 2007.
The result will come out before Christmas, you need to be patient.
Wish you luck.
