In PY2, there are 22 students in a class and there are 6 classes. In primary 1, there are 25 students in each class with 6 classes. Which means they will take additional 18 students. Of cos if some students not continue with P1, they will offer the place as well.

My daughter also got offer, and she studying in ESF P1, I'm struggling in which school, I think she will have better Chinese and Maths in SIS. but She like ESF now and don't want to switch to SIS. Can somebody help me choose ? Thanks

My advice is, the younger the kids change school, the easier they can adapt to the new environment....
True it is that SIS provides excellent environment/means to equip kids with strong foundation in English, Chinese, Maths & Science etc, but be prepared to face challenges in the level of difficulty, esp. in Chinese... but again, the earlier you come, the easier the adaptation would be...

Ikerberg,
may I know why some offers will also be released in April? Do you mean SiS issues offers by batches ? They haven't issued all offers yet? Thanks.

SIS releases offers by batches.   Some seats are reserved for Singaporean kids who come to HK between the interview days (January) and the beginning of a school term (August).  

Don't forget the main aim of SIS in HK, basically, is to serve the needs of Singapore's own citizens in HK.  The families may come to HK for job opportunities of the parents.   The timing of their coming, of cos, is quite random/sporadic.  Therefore, such practice is to protect the own rights/benefits of their citizens.   After all, Singapore government is like a 'parent' to their citizens, which we HK ppl cannot feel the same from our HK Government, esp. the present one...haha

Thanks so much ikerberg
But why they will give offers again after April?

If they send another batch of offers in April, do they still reserve few till August?

Thanks again

yes, they would release a few in different months, batch by batch, from April till August.   No one knows exactly how many seats would be released in this period, but from past experience, letters of offer would be received by successful candidates from April till the beginning of academic year in August.
