Hi Christmas,

My son attends KJS.  I have heard some parents said SJS is very good too.  May be KJS has a better campus. I think they share the faciliites with the Shartin College.   KJS currently has 2 campus. (Yr1-3 in Perths St, Yr4-6 in Rose St.) but they are planning to build a new campus which will be ready in 3-4 years time.  I am not sure if my son can enjoy it.

If you want to see the details curriculum, you can look in under Year Group in the website, you can see all the activities, homework, presentation & school photos for each year.  There is also presentation on their curriculum under news letter folder.  

May be you can check with the school if they can arrange for school visit. Hope this information can help.

Hi Christmas,

The most critical thing to change to Local Primary, is the Chinese Language.

Your kid may not capable with Local School Chinese Language level resulting in study difficulties.

And ..... K3 is very important, u gonna find K3 for your kid as well

Thank you so much for your information and advice, infact, both of my kids cant speak fluently Cantonese and quite hesitated to learn Mandarin though, it's all my fault!
I am still considering which school to apply for, and I will definetely look into the website first.

I've seen lots of topics talking about KJS vs SJS or some comparison about different ESF schools, but may I confirm that we can apply one school and must only applied those within the pre-defined zone?

Yes - you can only apply one school in accordance to the pre-defined zone.

Both are ESF schools, but different locations. They have the same curriculum, but different campuses and facilities. But I am sure they should be as good.
The simplest way to deal with the doubt is choose the one in your area, since you can only apply to the one in your zone anyway.
Yes, SJS is probably more popular than KJS. But I do not see how this popularity issue would affect the learning (or ability) of your child.

Infact the campus and the facilities are my concern. For the same system, same price, I rather go for the one with comes with more packages....
