點解K2吾去考CAIS？多位好多，容易d。

K3去考，兩間都係插班，難度較高。

As per the school report, they are going to reopen the Shek Kip Mei campus or other 3rd campus next year, therefore, more places will be available in 2014.

難定易係relative，Cais起碼今年仲識幾個人考到，有人放棄offer。SIS吾係新加坡人，考到插班，小朋友叻就無用，要有剩位先到你。

For entrance of SIS at P1, if you are not a Singaporean, it would be closing to impossible, if not really impossible.... so, better to save that HK$3,000 registration fee

小一無加位，即是要有人退學，然後满足晒新申請的坡人，有多餘位先有機會。

其實係咪每間國際學校都要指定年份收生? 就算十一二月出世都唔可以讀低一年?

要搵有幾難，得個十幾間！你唔睇學校個web,就咁就報？除左出生年份，學校學費同stream都要了解

找學校是重要事，唔懶得。
國際學校一般都有policy講幾多歲讀第幾班，考P1一般都跟得足，插班就可能在admission test 後面見家長時再深入討論有冇需要留班或跳班。

Thank you both! Before knowing it is impossible to be enrolled into P1 of SIS…  I wanted her stay longer in current KG as she can learn more Chinese and also have a chance to apply others private school (CKY) or DSC...
Do u advice me after K2 try to get into prep class in SIS first and after 1 yr apply to others P1 again?
Sorry I may be thinking too much…

as a reminder, CKY is difficult to get in.
You could have a look  the feed back from the threads in the BK forum and the CKY forum.
Generally spearking, most popular school for the P1 vacancies are really competitive.
