chiayu, during the information session, the school said that only for some sort of criticial reasons, eg the kid's appointment with therapist clashes with school hours etc, that they will allow for the changes with supporting.

Hi DearDaniel, my boy is also studying in Boxhill right now but for safe I think I will accept the ESF offer. I 'm afraid Boxhill will lose it's advantange after the opening of ESF WKS. Of course the school fee is much cheaper in Boxhill but I don't want to take risk......

DearDaniel

Thanks maumiu,

I am still struggle!!!
Your boy is on AM or PM class of Boxhill??

maumiu

i can tell you what happen this year if you want to get into ESF Y1 in the future. Here is what happened to the priority of getting in ESF Y1

1. Cat 1 (Native Eng Speaker) study in ESF Kinder

2. Cat 1 not study in ESF Kinder

3. Cat 2 (Non-native eng speaker) study in ESF Kinder

4. Cat 2 not study in ESF Kinder

No. 3 chance is already very low, so if you think you are no. 4 you probably have no chance to interview at all, if you want to get in ESF y1. So you think what you should do now, and get yourselves prepared..... so can i solve some of what you are struggling now??

i give up the offer cuz the ratiio of native is too low

DearDaniel

Thanks popolung.

I am agreed with your points at all.

What I am also concern if my kid join the ESF kinder family and finally cannot pass or lack of place for cat 2 after the intervew to ESF primary. What I can do or can you suggest some idea for the future path . Otherwise, it will be disaster.

Thanks a lot!!!

see what birdbird said, most of it is quite true:

Get into ESF Kinder only make your kid move higher in the interview list. What you need to do now is to make sure your kid can

1. how you can become "Cat 1"?

2. how to train your kid to speak very native eng

For 1, please refer to what birdbird said. For 2, I think it is all about money, time and heart. Start to make your family as a "Native English Family" will help. But not easy to achieve, read more story to your kid and watch eng program with them. Join more playgroup run by foreigners, etc.

Good Luck.

where do you live? for me quite convienient to go there, minibus stops at the gate of the school (better then SKIP, either drive or take taxi go there), you can call and make arrangement for the PG first, it's really great.

I am not a duty parent, i am a working mom (teacher ), usually just my maid bring bb go there.
don't worry, all of the teachers and parents are very nice.

seems this year, all of the kids can get in CWS
