Worried it's so competitive this year. Heard siblings only got less than 30% acceptance rate! Good luck to all!!

My son is in P2. For that year, they have 5 classes with 20 each. I guess it is still the same now?
作者: mama530 時間: 13-1-16 10:17
My eldest son is now in PY2, they have 22 x 5 classes = 110 for PY2 while the number of seats for PY1 is 20 x 5 classes = 100.

I had a chat with the Admission Officer on the interview day (as my younger ones are applying for PY1 this year). She said if everything goes smoothly, the first batch of offers will hopefully be released before Lunar New Year!

I'm so worried! My girl had interview in 8 Feb and there had quite a lot Singaporean & Malaysian. They all are 1sr priority. I think the hk applicants are less chance.

Those originated from China who are able to obtain Singapore passport, are usually professionals or highly demanded talents.

I see your point. Singapore population has indeed increased fast in recent years due to China immigrants. You can refer to yesterday news headlines. And due to globalisation, I am sure there will be more and more Singaporeans living in Hong Kong.

As my elder son is in SIS already, I did not apply other ISs for my younger twins.
Actually, my younger ones are now studying in local kinder (am) + int'l kinder (pm), I may have another try in PY2 or P1, or I will go for the local stream --- applying DSS/ private primary schools.....

My kids are in small world K1. We love the school very much and I am sure ICA would also be a very caring school just like small world. But frankly, I have no idea on their curriculum and esp the Chinese standard. Maybe I will call them up to arrange a school visit later.

yes,he's local but no idea if there's any connection. I dont think he has priority too as they are not Singaporean. this boy got admission in one top primary on island. parents are still considering IS or local. but funny that my Singaporean friend's son is on waiting list

作者: mama530 時間: 13-2-22 13:44
So you mean he applied for P1 not PY1, right?
Heard that this year even not all SG+sibling got the offer........
作者: flashingcat 時間: 13-2-22 14:20 標題: 回覆:mama530 的帖子
I believe is p1. I don't understand their system at all..why many of those who have priority are unable to get in while a pure local boy can be admitted.

作者: aidan08 時間: 13-2-22 14:32
btw, my son's singaporean classmate got in. It's really hard for those who got no silbling and passport priortiy to get a spot!
作者: mama530 時間: 13-2-22 14:50
Literally speaking, only Singaporean has the priority and basically MOST (I dare not to say ALL cos I heard that not all Singaporean got the offer this year) Singaporean will be admitted. Siblings will have some priority in the sense that if 2 kids got the same mark, the one with sibling will be picked.
From what I observe in my elder son's year (now in PY2), the ratio of non-SG: SG admitted is about 6:4. But it is about 2.5:7.5 in the next year....I believe that some seats will still be allocated to those without any priority...but the kid must be very outstanding and smart!

Is your Singaporean friend's son holding Singapore passport himself or just your friend being a Singaporean?
作者: musicien 時間: 13-2-22 18:33 標題: 回覆:SIS PY1 result
Actually they included an application form in the rejection lettwr. Guess they r inviting us to apply again next yr coz some will drop out? My fd said this yrs ratio is 8:2. Those locals who were accepted r the really outstanding ones. Top few among thousands. Many Singaporean kids do drop out later becoz they cannot catch up with the curriculum. We can still try next yr.
