reception year （age 4)

細佬Bebe

大家好！

好多一條龍既IS都只係由reception year (age 4)開始 我仔既情況應該點好呢？

佢而家係local kindergarten 讀緊英粵pre nursery (age 2)

而家幫佢報緊international k (近排先決定轉去國際學校 所以無讀過任何國際校playgroup)

眼見4歲班多好多選擇

我應該：

A)
3歲入IS
4歲唔轉只有reception既IS 等P1 再幫佢報

問題係 P1未即係插班 會唔會難過reception入好多？

心儀FIS>KIS>JIS 大家有相關經驗碼？

B)
繼續留係local school 讀國際課程 4歲先報一條龍既IS 一直讀上去

我係IS新手 （第一個小孩） 我已爬左幾星期文 希望EK IS媽媽可指教下 感激不盡

P1會好難插因為一條龍嘅學校reception啲小朋友會直升P1.

唔係好明...

點解要咁做？

FIS Year 1要有人退學先有位插，你冇priority的話冇乜機會。JIS Year 1大班過Reception小小(好似係25 vs 20)，所以Year 1都有5個位俾你報嘅…但當然Reception入機會大好多。

至於Option B，唯一考慮係英文語景唔夠。

其實可以報咗先然後如果收先再揀

Since you are doing PN at this stage, you can consider to switch to IS PN now or at K1 then apply those IS with reception. It’s better to start with reception then wait for p1 as majority of school will have limited p1 places with lots of the seats filled up by their own reception classes.

Thanks a lot
I also think option A makes more sense

my only concern is

My kid has to change school very often
He has to change to an international school for K1
And change again to reception class of all-through an international school one year later

so wondering if everyone do this way

You are right
I would better enrol him into international school now when my kid is studying nursery

My boys are December babies and they had 2-yr-old class in a non-through train international school (as a small baby細仔)—> nursery in a local kindergarten ( as a super big baby超大仔) —> through train IS kindergarten
Children adapt to new environment easily
So no worries

Yes kids can adapt to changes quickly.
Bear in mind reception year is usually the mass intake year whereas P1 has limited spaces, don’t forget those on waiting list and sibling priority, etc. So have a think about the journey in long run.

K1先轉IS, K2再考心儀學校的reception , 考到就一條龍，一勞永逸。
先轉IS是因為對比留在local school，會增加考到心儀IS 的機會，而且不宜錯過每間學校的mass intake。

Some IS Reception year starts at 4 years old so you have to apply at K1 (not K2) and move over after finishing K1 without K2 so be careful to check the IS that you want.

That’s what I meant. Move at K2.

同意樓上所講小朋友好易適應。我仔喺考到心儀學校Reception之前，都係一年轉一次校，但越轉越開心。

咁我要加速做好功課
好好計劃而家轉去IS繼續pre-nursery （我知我心儀一間有插班位）
定K1先轉

多謝哂大家！大家寶貴既意見幫左我好多！

我小朋友一歲半自己返分離班3小時，兩歲返PN, 一個月後因搬屋轉分校，兩個月後PM 轉AM, 依個學期成功入到 through train IS nursery(K1), 佢12月尾出世，最細係佢。
報左4 間 IS K1 都有offer.
佢地適應能力好強

Wow your child is so lucky to get 4 IS offers! My child is also a December child and we are applying K1 this year, fingers crossed!
