英國 passport 入英基

chima_pigpig

BB 係19年細B，計過數讀英基同私校差唔多。
爸爸係英國人，BB揸英國passport係British citizen, 想問入英基有冇優先？
唔該！

as per my understanding.. as long as the kid is holding foreign passport (doesn't matter which country and I never heard that UK passport gets a higher chance) it will hold the some sort of priority as compared with local passport holder..

for higher priority some people would consider buying the NR debenture so you can guarantee to get a play visit interview... otherwise it's purely depends on the random number.

如同樣無任何priority 外國passport 是較本地 ID 優先

Hi thanks for the info, what if during the interview my husband (who is a gwailo British, not HK British) brings him to interview, will that be better?

I thought EFS’s primary purpose when HK was still a british colony was to serve the children of the British people who work in HK...

We are no longer living in colonial days...
You will get priority above local passports but it does not matter what passport you have.

And whoever brings the child to the playvisit/interview does not matter as long as the child can demonstrate English proficiency. I'm not sure what sort of message that would be sending if they were making offers based on people's race.

Highest priorities are: staff, siblings, debenture holders and alumni.  The order is listed on their website. These will pretty much guarantee you an interview.  Otherwise having a foreign passport itself does not guarantee an interview due to popularity esp the popular branches.

I know some foreign passport holders who didn't even get an interview chance because of a high number of applicants this year.  Really down to your luck with the random number allocation.

Hey, you have picked the wrong school!

Kellett is the British International school in HK established in 1976.

一般來講包括staff kids，NR 人士，siblings，alumnai kids，如果apply小學仲有由K開始讀嗰啲(佢網站最清楚)。所以apply親佢實提醒你搵backup。

外國人家長易啲入係因為小朋友英文好，唔係因為種族。不過有其他學校可以有corporate debenture,咁公司比外國staff 入米會多啲外國人，都係因為debenture 又唔係種族。

Native English speaking parents 唔屬於一個priority

之前有講過，native speaking parents 有分加，雖然唔及 siblings, staff 同 nomination right 嘅 priority 咁高，但係同普通 local parents 比較係高分 d 排得前 d

耐人尋味

Quoted from https://www.esf.edu.hk/admissions-kindergarten/

Children admitted to the kindergarten should be able to engage with an English medium, inquiry-based curriculum. Foreign passport holders will receive priority over local passport holders.

Priority will be based on the following ranked criteria:

Children of full-time staff or staff at ESF or ESF Educational Services Ltd. who have been employed by ESF for over a year;
Siblings of students already attending an ESF school;
Children who are Nominees under the ESF Kindergarten Class A Debenture Scheme;
Children of former students who have attended an ESF school for a minimum of three years or are former ESF students returning from a period overseas;
Other applicants who can benefit from an English-medium education.

之前有個港台節目，訪問過 esf staff 關於 international school 收生問題，節目名唔記得，可以睇返。
可能我記錯？
但張 form 都有一 part 要填父母 language, 所以我記憶中係父母 language and nationality 係有關的。

The random number comes before nationality and language ability. If random number is bad, even native speaking child with native speaking parents will not be able to enter ESF, because no interview will be offered. Priority helps to bring one’s random number up but “native English speaker” itself does not give any priority at all, as 貝珠 said
