Please do the share if you applied ESF TYK K1 19-20,  thanks.

You mean TY campus,right? I did apply and still waiting for their invitation letter. According to their email reply, they have 500+ applications, and they will try to meet all applicants. They will have 2 round play visits - Nov. and Jan. and they said they will send out Jan. invitation by end of Nov. My friend already got the Nov. invitation . But i also heard that some ppls already received Jan. invitation in Oct. which school claimed should be sent out by end of Nov.
I am confused as actually who will get the invitation for play visit. I’m also not familiar with the game.Not sure if the order of play visit follows the random no. or the date of birthday. is there any 2nd interview? and how do they select if passed both interview?

Play Visits for K1 Applications

...............blah blah blah ..............

Children may be invited back to the kindergarten for a second visit if the school needs further information on the child. The kindergarten may involve the special educational needs advisor in this visit.

Kindergartens will offer places to successful applicants after the visits have taken place.  In some cases, offers of a place may be conditional upon a second or subsequent visit to the kindergarten, occasionally, parents may be requested to make additional arrangements to support their child when in kindergarten.

No, many won't need 2nd interview. only those they feel marginal maybe offered to have a 2nd chance.  Most case would be given an offer or reject.

We had the play visit on 16Nov. My son was born in Nov16. I don’t know they have the practice to meet the kids who were born in Jan-Jun first and the rests they meet them later.  The class is a mix of kids with 12 months, having said that the portion of girls are more than boys.

I saw some of the kids who had play visit are currently in ESF weekend playgroup.

Per my understanding (which might be wrong), they group the kids who was born in same month in the same session.  

The observers will jot note / comments on each applicants.  In each group, some kids pass and get the offer, some kids pass but on waiting list, some kids fail.

I have never heard about anyone is having 2nd interview but I am not sure as the applicants have significant increase due to the no Y1 interview policy.

As esf is non-selective, they won't pick the best to give offer.  Those with better random number (pure luck) will get offer first if they pass the assessment (play visit).  Say u are at # 180, only 150 places available.  TY usually interview everyone, say ur child pass, 20 kids before u (#1-179)  failed, but as u are at #180, u would still be put on waitlist (180-150-20, waitlist #10). they don't share your random # with u, but based on previous years experience, the eariler your playvisit, the better your random#.  not everyone will take the offer, so once places become available, they will call the waitlist. please also note that every esf kinders work differently, hillside don't interview all kids.

how the interview works for Tung Chung campus? Is it easier to get the offer?
作者: Daks    時間: 18-11-17 23:41

This year, TY will interview those with priorities (siblings, alumni) and 大B in Nov and everyone else applied on time in Jan. If yours are 細B, it is better to be assessed later.

Assuming your children pass the interview, chances of getting an offer are based on your priority and random number, not the date of your interview.

Most kids are only interviewed once. Siblings may get a 2nd interview but unlikely for those without.

Does it mean those attended play visit in Nov won’t have offer after the visit, but wait after the play visit in Jan for a mass lucky draw together? So is it possible to be rejected or waitlisted in Jan even passed the assessment in Nov? Thanks for your info!

It depends on the priority and random number. If your friend has sibling or alumni priority, the child will get an offer eventually. If "N"無人仕, purely by luck. No one can tell until all children have been seen around the end of January.

He will get a place if he will pass the second play visit. Since the ESF admissions is based on the priority and random number, the school will hold up places for those require second interview.
