請教有小朋友讀ESF P1的家長

bvei

我想問一下, 你們的小朋友以前是否也是讀ESF的KG, 因為我的兒子明年將會入讀ESF K1, 我想知道(因為ESF講明唔一定有位直升小學)其實ESF小學是否難考, 同時, 其實雖然唔係保證直升, 但讀ESF KG是否大機會些?

因我不想小兒轉讀其他IS小學, 但又驚考不到ESF的P1.

謝謝!

其實ESF小學是否難考?

For local Chinese, this definitely depends on the catchment zone.  It is easier in Hong Kong Island side.

其實雖然唔係保證直升, 但讀ESF KG是否大機會些?

Yes - if you are not Cat 1!

請問kennedy school難唔難入呀??

My son is P2 student in Shatin Junior(ESF). He studied in ESF kindergarten (Tsing Yi). The chance for primary school is around 97% for them (for reference only) and in fact, the chance is very high. It is very difficult for not being accepted once they are ESF kindergarten students.

They also have interview for ESF K student and the most important for them not to speak in Chinese, once they do, will be failure.

難, if you are local Chinese not attending ESF Sheung Wan Kindergarten.

Not for our case - local Chinese and not going to Sheung Wan ESF.

BTW, most of our friends who had sent the elder kids to ESF kinder opt NOT to send the younger ones to ESF kinder.

難 doesn't mean impossible. And my friend who is working as EA in Sheung Wan kinder also sent her daughters to a different kinder. Haha. A few years ago I followed her advice and sent my son to a different kinder as well before entering an ESF primary school.

Which one is more difficult? Kennedy or Glenealy?

BreMa

By "difficult" do you mean to get accepted for  Year 1? Glenealy School is one of the smallest ESF primary school with only 2 classes per year, i.e. 60 seats for Year 1 entrance. Kennedy school is one of the largest ESF primary with 5 classes each year, 150 seats for Year 1 entrance. You do the math.

吓........
咁點算好......到9月我2個女就要報Year 1, 好驚呀......

One of parent whose daughter is applying for Glenealy P1 this year told me that the interview letter she received mentioned that passing the interview does not guarantee a place for P1 this year.  Her daughter is a Cat 1 with sibling priority.  So you can imagine how keen is the competition at Glenealy this year.  My daughter applies for QBS P1 this year but our letter does not have that wordings...

Cherishvalue

Don't worry about the wording - it's sort of standardized to protect the school against any potential claim only!

My son has been studying at Hong Kong Preschool (Ascot) and got admitted to ESF Shatin Junior School.

Sept 09, a new ESF WKS kinder will start admitting another batch of K1 students, I think the competition for P1 will be keen in Kln and NT side as well.

It does not make sense to me. ESF opens a new Kindy in WKS, the number of kids competing for ESF P1 will then go up quite significantly.

One would think that ESF will have to increase the number of places in ESF Primary  to accommodate the increased number of Kindy kids, yet we haven't heard anything about it...that really worries and puzzles me...

Has any parents heard anything?

there are only 4 kinders but 11 + 1 Primary school so if only for ESF Kinder kids it is more than enough, but of course it is not the case, and this is why they have RC & DC..... just my 2 cents....
