其實ratafan 已答左你。interview 完，pass 左，之後學校先會叫你揀買邊種debenture.
我都係買100000個種。 ...

I'm not sure how Kellet's debenture works, it seems you only buy it AFTER the child has been accepted by the school, and is it absolutely necessary? Could the child start school without buying any debenture at all?

In any case, a debenture which you buy AFTER the child has been accepted is fundamentally different from one which you buy to gain some kind of priority BEFORE the child is accepted.

一千萬如捐俾有辦學的NGO應可做總理，可指名入讀任何一期下學校。

Kellet 要好早申請。我女兩歲多時替她申請reception 已經太遲。學校回覆要等兩、三年。後來才聽說 Kellet 比本地人既位好少。以我所知 reception 係唔須要 interview。排到你就會收。

Dreamkid,

多謝你嘅資料，香港Kellett 係吾易入，但適蓬佢係九龍區開分校，所以想搏一搏，雖然吾知係咪一樣咁難。

Is it after acceptance, or is it after passing the interview?  There is a big difference.

I will try to give more accurate info. I have visted and applied to the school. The 10m debenture is a defacto donation (it has limited duration) and even if you have the money, it is not readily available and i guess unless you are so and so, they may not take your money.

The "real" priority category is the $500k depreciating debenture (over 8 years), effectively means an extra $60k+ in annual tuition. Rough half the seats will be allocated to this category.  But even so, there is a waiting list.

Also, you need to tick which debenture you want, the prioritised $500k or the non-prioritised $100k in the application form.

With a large part of the remaining half taken up by siblings or children of staff, the remaining seats are vey very limited. Unless you apply from birth there is very little chance.

去年年中，學校有信來問如果九龍灣開 year 1 有無興趣。我地答有，但到現在仲係waiting。但我係 expat forum, 見到有 expat 一申請就有八月year 1 offer。係最近既事。

According to the previous poster, it is after passing the interview, thats why I asked if a child could then be enrolled and start attending school without buying any debenture.

Or may be this is the way it works? Say they have 10 vacancies, they interview 50 applicants, 20 of them pass, and then out of this 20 the top 10 who spend the most money on debentures will be enrolled? Just a guess.

Thanks for the clarification, so one must commit to purchase which debenture when applying, and it does affect the priority before the interview.

So the statement "interview 完，pass 左，之後學校先會叫你揀買邊種debenture" is inaccurate.

Not this way.  According to my understanding during school visit, there are effectively 2 waiting lists. The school will determine how many seats are to be allocated to the depreciaiting corporate debenture holders (the $500k ones), and they say it is rough half. Surely, far fewer people will opt for this than the cheaper 100k ones, and the waitng list is much shorter, perhaps there isn't one, that not that many people will forge out $60k more a year.

With siblings etc taking out a large portion of the rest, you can imagine the other list is very very long. If you are just 1-2 years before the enrolment year, there is no chance.

21kids explained it well.  Debenture does not affect interview priority. It determines which queue you are on and affects the waiting list size.

21Ckids,

Is it true that Kellette treat Chinese as an ECA because it is a very British school?

Thanks.

FattyDaddy  Well, different queues is already a prioritization. Just like some banks have different queues for various types of preferred accounts.  發表於 26 分鐘前

Well, I said 21kids explained debenture does not change the interview priority, "interview" priority.

Yes, you are right- very clear explanation.  Anyways, when you complete the application form, you will have to decide the type of debenture that you intent to buy.  So the type of debenture, whether you have siblings, or you hold foreign passport,etc. determine your priority.

According to my case, we submitted the application form when my girl is 3.  We knew that the chance will be slimed.  Unexpectedly, the school inform us earlier this year that there are a no of vacants available (Kowloon Bay campus) and she was invited to attend an interview.   Few days after interview, we received an email informing us that she got accepted.  We are v lucky.

In my daughter‘s class, there are only 3 Chinese.

I would say that Year seven is manageable ( not too difficult to get a spot), dont know the case for reception.
Regarding debentures, we d better call the 100k batch interest free loan or deposit to the school and it is only payable if you get accepted. For the 500k batch we should call it a ticket to jump the normal queue.
The school is very british, minimal Chinese. So kids could at best manage to say or write simple sentence after completion of IGCSE.
We finally didnt take the offer

The 100k debenture is also depreciating over 7 years. So need to buy one every 7 years. The 500k need to be paid up every 8 years,

I forgot what the school said, but any chinese to be learned there must be kind of joking. One needs to take extensive outside tuition to keep up the chinese.
