ESF Wukaisha Kindergarden - quite unacceptable

alexghz

i am really astounded to get the waiting list only for an interview. esf is not that top-notch IS school and even can boast itself so much with this unreasonable rule in admission. School in hk is really being pampered.

debenture 喺開賣第一日早上已經賣晒150個quota

其實小學一樣，大把人俾左$2000都無得in 排waiting , 相對你地$500可以排到上小學已經好抵。

白字黑字寫到明，願者上釣，想interview咪比$50萬lor

下，冇得in真係唔應該收人錢囉！
行政同教育態度都好有問題

This is how most IS conduct their business, I.e. you need to pay an application fee regardless of having a chance for interview or not...that’s the game...
In this current situation in HK, I guess there will even be more ppl applying for ESF or alike; will be even more competitive to get in lol

咁樣即係有錢就有到，本來esf 係中產，而家變左有錢先有priory

yes you can. but think twice it is hkd500K only for an interview priority. but I guess this will facilitate the way for entry to esf.

I think someone has said the debenture is sold out already.

ESF 網址有寫，唔一定有得IN,  其實500蚊如果入到係直到中學畢業。 冇辦法一定多人報

I called to ask the details and the ESF staff encouragingly recommended me to ...

500k for priority to interview is a bit misleading... it is 50k first for priority for interview, if you get accepted, then you pay the 450k. Amortised over kindie, primary and secondary its around 38k a year, a lot of parents are fine to make this investment especially if they have more than 1 child.

The zone for wks, sjs and sc is one of the best esf clusters of schools in terms of IB results, the classrooms are wonderfully equipped with really nice facilities, it is worth every penny.  

Even though you got wait-list, there is still a chance to be called for a playvisit as people start dropping out during deposit stage and first school term payment stage. Even after school starts seats do open up. Stay positive, you have foreign passport, still got chance.

I wonder if the drop out rate will be much lower now that there is the new through train offer.

買債券就優先interview 先，呢d policy好大陸feel......

平心而論,佢喺個網址寫清楚 ,因為太多人報,所以隨機抽number ,同埋跟priority ,如果你random number唔靚, 唔係一定有得in ,其實畀五百蚊, 如果好彩抽到有得interview, 又收咗,係直到中學畢業, 所以多人報係好正常, 太多人in 唔曬, 都無可厚非, 憎多粥少, 唯有報多幾間back up
佢網站寫得好清楚唔係一定有得in， 如果唔接受應該唔好報名。

上年青衣個校長promise左全部人都有得in, 唔知校長走咗之後今年有冇變呢？不過其他分校不嬲都係唔擔保一定有得in, 呢個都好多年㗎啦⋯⋯之前連外國expats嘅仔女都冇得in啦
