It's depend on how the school interprets.  Different school can have different ways of interpretation.  You better ask your friend to check with the school of interest.  

As far as I know:
Malvern - counted PRC passport as foreign passport
CIS/NAIS/GSIS - do not count PRC passport as foreign passport

I have a feeling that with the surge of new IS schools, there are more IS spots than the number of expats in demand. My friend who is a teacher from one well established IS already complained that they are admitting less expats and more local people in recent years.

For local people she meant local  people  even with foreign passports. She said some of their English are not good and cannot catch up.

These children got their foreign passports via their parents and are not being brought up in an English speaking environment, so it is not surprising that their English is not up to par.

根據教育署定義，國際學校一定要收最少70%外國護照嘅學生，30%本地生


根據教育署所寫：應把最少70%的學額分配予學校公開宣布服務的目標學生。目標學生指持有香港特區護照和英國國民(海外)護照以外的任何其他護照的學生或持有學生簽證來港就讀的學生；


照睇，大陸護照都可以當係外國護照。
但間學校收唔收大陸學生就睇學校係唔係目標收生。

I don't get it. Why do parents with foreign passports not communicate with their kids in English (at least before they get into a school)? It's quite essential for kids to have a solid foundation to fare well in a pure English environment...

Haha, glad to see you back :)

You don't remember all the previous discussions about using mother tongue (which is not likely to be English) with one's kids or else there might be a communication gap? To me personally I don't think it makes much difference, but there are many who use mother tongue extensively if not exclusively at home.

Glad to be back ;) Been a bit crazy with work.

Yes, but the best method as discussed was one language per parent, so the child has a good exposure to both languages. Before full English immersion in school, that should be the way to go.
