No one will get a "reject" email at this stage, your child either get an interview invitation or get put on the waiting list. Later in the year they will process the waiting list and interview more applicants until all places are filled. If at the end of the year your child is still not invited, they'll ask if you wish to stay on the waiting list and be considered for next year.

3) no interview offer ...

If your child doesn't get invited to an interview that means waiting list, it is not a rejection as such. You will only get a "reject" email if your child attends and fails the interview, that would be the end of the story.

Thx Fattydaddy.
Anyway I know parents got from SJS, may I know anyone receive the following mail from BHS? Thx.

From ESF website:
Parents receive interview status notification letters.
•Invitation to interview with guaranteed place if successful; or
•Invitation to interview with reserve wait list place if successful; or
•Confirmation of wait listing for possible future interview opportunity.

No. From other int'l kinder. I think the kids should be group 1 if they are from ESF kinder.

Any BHS parents here? May I know how is the chance to get in if we have been put in group two?

米仔媽咪，may I know which esf kindergarten your kid goes to?  My girl is studying K1 at esf tsing yi right now so I am so worried.  I used to think that all esf kindergarten students will be in group 1.  Many thanks

Don't worry, it's all by lucky draw and depends on the zone of school.  I still have hope to get a place from DC or RC.  Good luck

Oh no... That's pretty scary.   The whole primary admission process is driving me crazy.  I sometimes regrets to put my girl at esf since it seems like we don't have many choices left if esf doesn't accept us.   Do you know if the chance of getting a place at the end is still high if we are in group 2?

Sleey2001,hi ,
Did you apply RC or DC ?

sleey2001

No, since my daughter is still in k1.  Will apply for primary in k2.

Don't be unduly worried, getting an interview (whether for guaranteed place or reserve list) is already halfway to success. Every applicant is allocated a random number and some though not many ESF kindergarten children don't even get an interview in this first round simply because they have drawn a bad number. The point to remember is over 90% of ESF kindergarten children do go on to ESF primary schools (including RC and DC), and those who don't are often because they have other choices.

Thanks FattyDaddy.  From your experience, how many kids from esf kinders will be in group 2?  Those in group 2 usually can get into esf at the end?  Many thanks!

You should ask the ESF kindergarten principal. I believe for the past few years ALL children in group 2 (i.e. being interviewed for a place on the reserve list rather than a guaranteed place) received offers later in the year. In fact many ESF kindergarten children who didn't even get an interview in the first round got interviewed later on and eventually got an offer.
