any applicants to ESF Abacus here?

As far as I know no interview is needed for ESF kinder, but do they admit every single child who submit the form? or on first-come-first-serve basis??

Mone

cocobean225,

你仲記唔記得我呀??  Abacus 收咗我個女呀!!  可以唔駛番 New Song, 我同我老公都好開心, 而家只係希望黎緊業主唔好加咁多租, 可以繼續响度住!!  

你同你囝囝報咗邊間呀??  有聲氣未呢?  聖誕節快樂呀!!

Mone,

我當然記得你啦。恭喜晒呀。

我仔仔07 Sept都係pre-nursery,未到K1年齡﹐所以我都係同佢報左兩三間pre-nursery,考左HK Preschool,仲報左victoria,不過都未肯定會唔會讀。因為反正K1都打算either ESF Abacus or New Song,留返晌西貢﹐唔想佢特登N1搭校車出去返學。
但我都係報左先﹐睇下到時有無需要比佢返學啦。

我都仍然心儀new song over ESF Abacus, 因為new song太近啦﹐3 mins車程﹐ESF Abacus 要25 mins.

New Song搬左新校舍未呀﹖我都想去睇下。

BBIX

mone, hi, its bbix, congr for your daughter, and may i know it s difficult to go into abacus? cos as cocobean said they dont hv any interview, so in fact, they  based on what to say yes or no to applicants? thks

cocobean225

BBIX,

I have the same query as you. I'm gonna call up ESF Abacus and ask them see how they respond.

If it's based on first-come-first-serve basis, then I'm going to submit application form now.

Mone

cocobean,

New song 仲未搬呀!  佢哋原本係今年年頭搬架, 但係好似新校舍仲未 ready, 所以而家 delay 到九月新學年先用, 原本我個女三月開始番 New Song, 要去到北潭涌咁遠, 而家 Abacus 收咗佢, 唔駛去到咁遠 lu!!  我會繼續比佢番坑口嘅 playgroup 番到開學就算呀! 其實, new song 都有 d 類似  nursery 嘅 playgroup 比夠兩歲嘅小朋友參加喎!!  你可以試吓吖!  

BBIX & cocobean,

其實我都唔知佢哋係難入定係易入, 因為之前去 visit 時, 個校長比我嘅感覺就係會收我個女嘅機會好細, 佢哋嘅收生係完全唔識講廣東話嘅優先 (即係父母雙方都係外籍人), 其次就係有家姐、哥哥响同一學校就讀嘅都會有優先, (所以,我出年完全唔駛擔心我個仔, 真係一天都光哂! ) 以上兩種就係佢哋稱為 Category one, 其餘嘅就落入 category two, 收哂 category one 嘅學生, 有位淨嘅就收 category two, 而 category two 嘅申請就係會以先到先得嘅形式收生!  
好似小朋友一滿兩歲就可以交表, 不過, 我哋係舊年一月頭入表, 嗰時我個女都係兩歲十個月, 我諗我哋算係好早入表囉!
你哋嘅小朋友而家幾大呀?  早 D 入表就好似會著數 D 咁!

Hi Mone,
  你好. congratulations to your daughtor!
  我今年六月入表報左Abacus, 但而家都未收到通知啊
   我入左表後無幾耐 ESF就改左收表日期, 淨係每年10月1日至31日收表.  

  想請問你BB係咪有western last name? 在家中講英文唔識廣東話呢? thanks~

  我跟BB都揸外國passport, 在家中講英文及國語, 識好少廣東話. 但爸爸就係香港人.原本諗住都應該有機會classify as category one架....而家睇嚟就唔係啦
希望Abacus收佢啦  近又唔洗煩.  

sophia1201

hi Mone and 各位, 今日下午Abacus打嚟話寄左 Admission letter 但bounce back, 佢地今日會再寄過
好開心啊

cocobean225

Dear Mone,

Oh New Song is still at the old venue, no wonder. I'm going to submit application forms to both New Song and ESF Abacus and see if any of them admit my son in 2008.

For those of you who want to apply to ESF Abacus, is it all because of the CWBS?

sophia1201

Hi cocobean, do you know what's good about CWBS?  I'm still searching some info and asking friends around. Seems more ppl recommend Renaissance College...

Mone

Sophia,

恭喜晒你呀!  咁你咪都安樂哂囉! 你個小朋友係仔定女呀? 可能第二時同我個女做同學仔喎!  我兩個小朋友都係有外國人名, 因為 Daddy 係洋人, 不過佢哋都有中文名, 而家 Abacus 都收咗你個小朋友, 所以都唔成問題啦!  你住邊頭架?  係咪好近 Abacus??  佢哋二月有個 meeting 只係 for 家長, 睇吓到時會唔會同你相認到?


cocobean,

我哋 apply Abacus and then 希望入埋 CWBS, 都係因為貪佢哋夠近, 並無其他原因, 不過我有個同事, 佢個女而家响 CWBS 讀緊, 口碑都唔錯, 不過佢哋都係外籍, 所以, 對於 academic 方面係唔會要求好高, 佢哋嘅 idea 係小朋友讀幼稚園同小學時都係唔應該要做功課喎!  

如果你同囝囝報 New Song 嘅下午班, 我覺九成九都會收, 因為我上次去 visit 時, 佢哋話只係上午班嘅位會緊張少少, 不過唔知道佢哋搬咗之後會唔會有所改變呢!

pattkeda,

你所指嘅 Chinese lesson 係乜呢? 據我所知, ESF 幼稚園係只得普通話學, 一個星期好似只係得半個至一個小時。

sophia1201

hi Mone, 我會去二月家長說明會  到時相認啦  
希望學校排我個仔讀上午班
對了你個女係咪响kidsplayhouse讀playgroup?
我工人見到張相 話好似係我仔仔Adrian响kidsplayhouse既同學喔~~  如果係就真係太巧啦!
