Very difficult to apply primary IS, need advise

caca0924

My daughter just moved from Australia to HK , holding australian passport, only speaks english
Currently studing K3 at icms
I found it extremely difficult to apply primary school for 2016/2017 year 1 intake
can please recommend me any school to apply?
So far I have applied 3 schools but all seems no chance

SIS - seems prefer singaporean citizen
AIS - even being australian dont have much priority as others applied 2 years ago
ESF bradbury - year 2 intake, waiting list (10-20 waiting list)

we are currently staying hk island and willing to move

any other IS may have shorter waiting list?

because if we cant find a primary school for her, i have to bring her overseas ( im currently workinging in HK)

Thank you

Yes, I didn't know its so difficult to apply so I only started looking after she arrived HK
I also think Christian school may be able to offer us a place, I shall pay them a visit soon
I cannot apply all international schools as application fee per school are like $2000-$3000
I feel its very expensive , does everyone feel the same?

May I ask so you applied in oct 2014 for year 1 2016 intake?
but as you said, if they only inform u the interview during apr or may.
you probably went for another school as this is quite uncertain
may I know at the end which school did you choose?
thank you
