about KBCK

There are a lot of Asian face in my son's class. No golden hair. From the name list, there are some Indian name, Korean name, Japanese name, Singaporean/Malaysian chinese name, Chinese name and Hong Kong name. I think there are at least 30% are local HK but all communicate in English as the school only allow them to speak Englsih at school.

Thanks for your message

we submitted the application form on Nov 2007 and I think it was very early enough!

It seems you only have chance for PM class or waitng list. For those born in Jan 2006 (if my calculation is right), they can submit the application form 2 years before you.

sorry我不明你的意思。

我個仔是2006年中才出生，在11交申請書，如果仲有人早過我。??世界的競爭真是大啦!

Sorry I get my calculation wrong. For those born on Jan 2006, they can submit the application in Jan 2006. i.e. 10 months before you. Of course, this is an extreme case. Don't worry too much.

Aiya... I am very frustrated here!
My girl got accept from Anfield (Whampoa Campus). But she will get an interview on next week. Don't know what to choose if she got accepted. Andfield is walkable distance but $2000 different between KBCK.  
Lots of Pros and cons in my mind here:
1) KBCK:cheaper tuition
2) KBCK Seems high chance to get into ESF
3) Anfield provide mandarin lesson
4) Anfield seems more focus on discipline training

Anyone can help me one whatelse of good and bad side of these 2 schools~

Thanks a million

[1) Can I know usually how early do the parents send the application form?
-once the birth certiicate is available.
eg. my son was born in Oct 07, is it a bit late if I send now?
- it is still ok but less chance to get to AM class.
2) I also want to know if my son's mother language is Chinese, and I start teach him english /join english playgroup from 1 yr old, is it possible to enter KBCK?
- They only requiredthe kids understand English instruction and express thier needs in simple English. Join some English playgroup will definitely help.
3) is religion a must?
- No.

我希望小兒可成功入到kbck。然而，如果他日不入esf的話，到k3的時間又要去找學校。此點到是問題，入到才打算啦!!!現在的確言之過早去擔心。

不過，小朋友可以快樂地學習是重要的。不想見到小兒在人生最寶貴的學習時候而白白浪費。小班都好，但那班老師都是那班老師，他們的mindset是沒有改變的!!

呀，如果你地是今年入k1的家長，你們是在什麼時候申請的?
