我相信不太容易，校長說今年all grade levels的waiting lists有800人

800 is a lot, does the principal say which levels have the most students waiting?

Yes, seems like it. The school has become a lot more popular since switching to bilingual.

CDNIS is very popular. Foreign and Chinese families love this school.

佢變bilingual 會唔會變咗同vsa/ isf差唔多？ 多咗好多Asian，而冇以前咁多students mix?

VSA同ISF都係PIS，所以始終會多啲本地學生。CDNIS今年先轉晒做bilingual，所以未知最終會變成點，不過肯定多咗好多Chinese家庭target CDNIS因為着重中文又有歷史嘅IS好少。依家無論本地或外地家庭都覺得中文好重要，不過有聽過個別expat考慮轉校因為驚少咗英文將來去其他國家時難適應。

CDNIS is not bound by having certain students with FP (It did not get any land grants from EDB as opposed to some other IS)...
From what Emily had said in the past, they try to strike a balance in terms of student mix, and locals without FP has historically accounted for <20%. This may change with full bilingual at lower school but I doubt if they will go all the way to 70% of local students like VSA/ISF.

The proportion of “Hong Kong” in CDNIS is higher than 20%. It was 27% in 2022 but it won’t be higher than 30% as an international school.

In terms of the % of non-FP holders, I could be wrong though I remember I was told it is <20% (difference could be due to % of EY1 intake vs. overall % in the school)...
For CDNIS itself, they are not subject to any limitations by EDB. Only those schools that have received land grants/funding from EDB are subject to the limitations. You can see the list of schools here (P 208)

Having the word "international" in the school name does not necessarily mean they are "turly" international school, a good example will be Yew Chung International School, they definitely do not have 70% of students holding FP.

YCIS is also one of the PISs.

Their waiting pool is cleared at the end of each school year, so need to re-apply for each year.

Anyone reapplying for this year EY2? Wondering if the child interview process is the same.

is there any real advantage of FP holder in this case? I notice 90%+ of the demographic looked chinese/hong kong local
