Is it purely random whether we will get a guaranteed place or on reserved list after interview?

The actual date might vary from one ESF kindergarten to another, but the idea is the same, they will interview those with priority first.

Yes, my understanding it's like a lucky draw to determine the random no.

True, i heard some parents said they received emails:
1) play visit invitation for observe and ask questions before offering a place (priority category)
2) play visit invitation
3) play visit invitation with “may not be able to provide immediate place”
4) not be able to offer play visit
5) there is a post mentioned on “reserved list”

Exactly, heard about this primary lottery too. IMHO at least for the ones that ESF cannot differentiate before interview, at least give everybody equal opportunity..?

Esf is a non selective school. That's mean anyone pass the interview ( mainly focus in eng standard and appropriate social skill ) , they will get admitted according to random number. They are not aiming to select students with higher ability. Otherwise, it is just similar to local kinder which select "big B" , talkative baby. Should we embrace this system ?

Agree with you and every system has pros and cons. I haven’t got the “categorized” letter yet, just wondering what I will feel if I see my baby can only be placed on “reserved list” even before interview

I believe you have applied wks campus, wks will interview all applicants. You will never know your random number. And no "categorise" letter will be sent out. I have only heard hillside will let applicants send out 3 types of letters, normal play visit , playvisit (reserve list) , and no playvisit can be offered

Ah thanks, yes I applied to WKS. So you mean WKS will just send play visit invitation letter to everybody without “categorizing” them beforehand?

You can say so, but random number system is more or less the same as categorise as reserve list or guaranteed list before interview
