小朋友的爸爸係alumni，但由於個小朋友考咗好多間學校都被reject，父母唔想再煩，諗住比咗NR再加係alumni會萬無一失。因為如果比佢試一年睇吓考唔考到先，如果唔得的話，又要等多一年先用NR，佢哋心急想個女入到，而當時佢哋申請係NR剛開始的一年，未知真係咁睇面試表現，以為比咗NR點都機會大d。

Interesting. I did not know that applicants can apply to 2 ESF schools. Of course, if one of them is RC or DC, that is totally legit. But that has nothing to do the "比機會".

Then he misunderstood the nature of NR, it just buys an interview, not a guaranteed place, and being an alumni his child would get an interview anyway.

I believe one can put down 3 foundation schools for ESF foundation NR, if the 1st school does not accept the child he/she will have an interview with the 2nd school and if still no luck a chance with the 3rd school, but if the 1st school accepts the child then that's it, he/she won't have a chance with the 2nd or 3rd school, and likewise if the 2nd school accepts then no interview with the 3rd school.

For RC and DC, NR buys just one chance with that particular school.

Thank you for the clarification. In that case, the NR sounds like it is worth it as you have 3 chances.

michine

In such case, you need to pay 3 deposits?

I agree, ESF foundation school NR is more expensive at 500k (total cost) but the child can have multiple chances with different schools, exactly how many I'm not certain but it is either 2 or 3. Whereas ESF RC or DC NR is for one school only so just one chance, albeit it is cheaper at 400k.

In the case of the ESF alumni dad the outcome may not be so bad after all, his daughter subsequently got into a famous local school and he also got his NR deposit money back because ESF did not accept his child, 塞翁失馬

Sounds not fair. NR should give you a higher interview priority instead of overriding the catchment policy at the same time.

I don't think it's 3 interviews at 3 schools, it just you can pick 3 schools and if the first got no interview spot, you can do it at the second choice and so on. But if you got interview chance at the first choice and failed, that's it and you are declared failure already.

Could be, but if so then it doesn't match up with the case of the ESF alumni dad who bought NR and had 2 chances at different schools.

I can't say for sure because I never bought NR, I guess people who are really interested in NR should always find out directly from ESF.

其實，雖然ESF係一個大機構，有好多既有的規定同機制，但佢地D學校各有一定的自主權，而且，我感覺ESF呢個機構同旗下的學校本身幾人性化，係有點人情味，例如你睇佢收生siblings幾乎必收，同好多現今的IS高鬥態度好唔同，咁你亦可以話未必係完全公平。好似我朋友個仔讀到year2由ESF其中一間小學轉去CDNIS, 走時個校長同我朋友講，歡迎佢個仔隨時返去讀，會優先比佢入番，我諗未必間間學校有咁嘅胸襟。就我所見，如果子女在waiting list, 主動多去接觸學校係有用的，我表哥個女係一例，排咗幾年，佢本來係排QBS, 佢多去搵學校，結果qbs雖然無位，但可能見佢有誠意，安排佢去見peak school, 結果在讀中學前終於收咗。所以，我朋友係alumni個case, ESF比多次機會佢個女絕對唔出奇，一來佢比咗NR, 二來佢係舊生，三來佢成日主動接觸學校，所以安排咗佢去另一間有位的學校見，只係可惜唔pass啫。
至於NR, 本身係可選擇三間，但並唔係樓上所講一間唔得可in第二、第三間，只係邊間有位會按志願排行比你in而已。第一間比你in 的failed咗基本上係無得再in第二間的。至於有冇人誠意搭夠有第二次機會，我覺得又唔出奇。

Thanks for your clarification, yes I agree with you, ESF係非常有人情味的，可以話你只要係佢嘅人佢就實會照顧你，不過最難係第一步要入左去先。

NR本身得一次機會in, 我朋友個case係exceptional, 我估因為佢係舊生。
朋友個女雖然入咗間出名local 女校，但朋友本身唔想佢女讀LS, 只係in咗好多間IS卻無一間收。佢仍會繼續比個女試考IS的。

當時係NR推出第一年，個個只係得個估字，好多人相信比咗50萬係提高咗收嘅機會，我朋友個case係個女適齢升小一，佢考咁多間都fail自然好心急，50萬可能對佢來說亦唔係大數目，反正唔得的話有機會攞番，所以何樂而不為？只係後來大家身邊出現了比咗NR但唔收的case, 大家才知道真係咁睇面試表現啫。

你朋友個case相當奇異。本身係舊生比埋NR但個女又考唔到ESF以及其他IS。其實佢係報Year 1 定插班Year 2或以上?

I see, so the fact that your friend's child had interviews with 2 different schools was an exception rather than something provided by NR itself, that sounds reasonable, thanks for the clarification.

佢報ESF係 year 1, 但考其他IS係好細個已開始考，總之每間IS可以報讀的年齡佢已開始報。

純粹討論，無惡意。我感到奇異，不在於有校友priority,又買NR(呢個宇宙唔少人以為買2份住院保險入一次廠可以賠2次一樣。唔清楚規則好平常)，而係既為校友，應該比街外人清楚英基及其他國際學校要求，亦唔係半途出家突然想報，到未獲取錄之後又入左有名的本地學校，而仍然繼續希望入番讀國際學校。只要in 過 year one又讀緊英基小學的家長都知道，interview對係國際學校幼稚園的學生來說，只是另一個play date, 對所謂學術幾乎需求，主要看學生英語及社交能力可否應付學習需要已。如一時未達標而仍醉心國際學校學習模式，首選應是英語語境較佳的學校，走到傳統學校，好像跟目標有點背道而馳，徐後越高年级插班，對英語能力要求更高，或要加倍努力才能願望達成。
