Pls refer to para 6

即係唔係單單睇英文能力


Applicants must demonstrate through interview and assessment that they are capable of engaging with an English medium curriculum.  Applicants learning and social skills, together with their ability to cooperate with adults and other children, will be taken into consideration.

At interview, students’ potential for language learning will be explored as well as their ability to engage and succeed within the curriculum being offered at the school.

Esf 現在已經不用70% foreign passport 了 ( info from consultant in top school )

From ESF web site:

"In line with the Education Bureau requirements, at least 70% of the total students enrolled will qualify as ‘non-local’, defined as being holders of an overseas passport."

Are you talking about DC or RC? Which both are esf private School , not classified as international school & need to fulfill at least 70% of students enrolled are "local".


That's Education Bureau requirements for all International School!

你sjs(?)都pass, 只是random no 唔好彩。
RC? 你個係仔？冇計，好似女仔收到offer 多好多

其實龍年的男仔好大競爭，因為大陸人多，好多都生仔（you know why), 加上女上語言比較快及坐得定，所以對於selective 的IS在初小階段，男仔其實難入D。

同意，根本大部分ESF 學生都有海外護照，ESF 不用特別先看申請者是否有海外護照作為先決條件。

Not trying to challenge you, but at least a few people I knew were in SJS without foreign passports during this period, how could the figure reach 100% really baffled me.

Were those people in SJS in September 2012 and actually did the survey?

If some people just put down something wrongly in the survey, that would have caused the error.

另一可能就係教育局局長「吳得掂」同教育局喺度癈up, 因為這份文件係吳對張宇人就香港國際學校發展的書面查詢作回應。

SJS 2015/16 annual report : breakdown of nationality: 450 are "Chinese" (guess that include hk though they use the flag of PRC). i.e. about 50%. The others include British (120), Canadian (104), Aussie (66), American (53) etc.

請問BHS 有幾大穫？

This year, about 40%+ of TY students apply for BHS, i.e. about 70-80, about 1/3 are siblings, say about 25. Of these, at least 5 failed! May be some more I don't know.  A much much higher percentage than others. They will have 2nd chance in April. Hope they make it.

ESF has clearly started to adopt a certain level of selectivity, i.e. they have certainly raise the passing line.

Boys who are immature, cannot sit or focus for long, are late in language development, would be at risk. Need to train up before the interview.
