無foreign passport 真係好難入到 IS？入到都係因為買了debenture

今年我同我朋友都為小朋友報左 ics, 我囡無外國passport, 朋友個囡有,
我比我朋友早2星期交form,

ICS is PIS, need 70% HKID holders, though the fact is a lot of HKID holders got foreign passports in hk. Interview time depends on the age of the kid. The big kids got interviewed first and youngest last. After interview they will reply either you are successful / failed (unless you have a sibling and will have chance to be reassessed).

Therefor if you are talking about 2019/20 R1 interview, and if your kid born in July (smallest batch), then just ask admission office and wait... can be February/March next year is the last batch of interview.

So, the well know ‘ICS secret’ is, the best result is ‘Accept’, the worst is ‘reject / waitlist’. No answer is actually can be a good news.

We have only BNO & HKSAR & 回鄕咭 only.
God bless everyone

啊ICS... 睇漏眼

I was having same bought as you but after trying, it’s not as bad as I thought. At least we got offer for ESF, ICS, Small World, and HKIS at K1 and K2. I think English proficiency is the most important and the rest depend on your child. Schools do pick children depend on their characters and personality. So my suggestion is to keep trying. Good luck!

No, they said on the application website that they will only select suitable candidates for interview. Of those I know who are offered interviews in October (applying pregrade 1), all come from English medium kindergartens. The assessment fee is paid only upon an offer of interview.

我都十分同意小朋友嘅英文水平真係好多IS嘅首要收生條件。
我小朋友剛攞到foreign passport(我哋遲咗apply 好耐先攞到), 但之前已經要去interviews. 所以我哋當時係攞local passport 申請IS嘅。
我同屋企人由佢細個一直都係英文溝通，佢interviews嘅時候around兩歲半，英文好流利，肯同老師對答，無走來走去，ended up interview三間有兩間收咗。我哋無買任何debenture 之類嘅嘢。
所以小朋友嘅英文要好好，我相信係真嘅。
我識得幾個人買幾百萬debenture 都入唔到IS, 可能都同英文唔得有關。

https://www.ics.edu.hk/admissions#admissions-process

The wording I read today is like this...

“While ICS strives to offer an admission assessment to most applicants, due to limited availability of seats, assessment is not guaranteed”

That’s why just go ahead to call the admission office to check the interview progress.

暫時近幾年,我真係未聽過有人報咗R1無得interview.

And in your case, it is ‘non-R1’

過咗R1, 我完全同意你講得啱

因為以我所聽聞, 有位先會跟priority叫人interview（overseas返來, sibling, IS/English medium KG...)

Pre-grade 1 最多位 (10+), 其他級更少

所以有心一入ICS而無任何priority, 一定要報R1

謝謝你的詳細回覆。ICS幼稚園仲遠過小學，所以我沒有考慮。同樣我也沒有為了考ESF而入WKS KG。我相信休息對小朋友是十分重要的，如果每日搭長途車來回返放學，對小朋友的發展始終不利。

明白的. 我幸運地係無心插柳, 報K1乜到報之後ICS收咗大嗰個, 之後大家的結論係一係要個位(我一定遠過你好多好多), 一係以後唔好諗ICS Elementary（因為機會太細).
