parents, are all you aiming to let your kids study overseas later on (secondary or university ? In  the mean time, I expect my kid to stay in HK for education for the coming years.

If uk system like esf schools, k2 then grade 1.
For cais canadian system, k2 then preparatory(k3) then grade 1.  
I have not yet planned whether study overseas or not later, just want to have a happy childhood. If not study aboard, can still apply local u upon finished grade 12 by non jupas.

請問你點解會突然轉去讀IS ? 可唔可以講係邊間IS啊 ? 你將來會送小朋友到外國讀書嗎 ?

我係回流回香港的, 咁我自己本身係想個囡讀local, 因為我以前讀都係讀d所謂地區名校, 自己又覺得冇乜嘢, 都好開心, 諗住阿囡都ok啦, 諗住喺香港梗係讀local學好d中文啦(中文難學), 英文平時都好多機會講都唔會有問題(daddy英文人),不過讀讀吓local學校, 先發現阿囡d性格真係好唔同我細個, 佢好唔適合讀本地的學制, 佢其實好鍾意上學, 不過做傳統型的功課就好抗拒, 連學校的老師都說如果我囡要讀主流學校, 佢唔係會辛苦, 而是非常非常之辛苦.

去外國讀書一定會, 不過冇計劃定幾時, 其實可能回外國讀更經濟, 不過想在HK留耐d因為可以同多d家人親友密切d.

Yup, similar case here for my girl, we have moved back Hk from Australia for 2 years, and my younger girl is going to apply IS school from Sept (will be k2 student at that time). I also think about letting her to study local school since I have a planning to return Australia 5 more years later, so hope she can learn more Chinese. However, she is totally different character as my elder son (who is going to a private local school in coming sept), so see any offer from IS after applying. You know, even we apply, not for sure to get an offer, just be prepared for both streams of school and relax at this application process.

真係要比阿囡讀過本地幼稚園先知有d嘢係唔可以勉強，熟悉我囡的親友一早話佢應該讀is, 不熟悉的人會叫我迫佢（local），但如果佢係迫到就不是問題啦！但我好慶幸比佢讀了一年本地K2, 起碼都算打好中文基礎，由初回來時完全聽不明中文到e+識用廣東話駁咀
如可以的話我想佢讀埋k3先轉，但如你所說，e+想入is比入本地band1更難，所以有學校收我都要即轉，等多年未必咁好彩！
