讀唔讀ESF kindy好

beanbeanmui

話說阿哥會讀ESF 小學，而家諗緊下學年幫唔幫細佬報ESF 幼稚園，因為5間幼稚園都唔近屋企，搭校車要超過一個鐘，每日來回都2個半鐘。如果細佬小學先報，有sibling priority 係咪都穩陣？

邊間小學？

Hello, 雖然答唔到你個問題， 但想提提你，黎緊今年8 月入讀ESF TC K1 就會變龍校上RCHK，下年TC分校就會搬去西沙，所以假設你最後想比細佬讀ESF，但RCHK唔係你target既學校的話， 咁就可以唔使考慮ESF TC（出年係西沙RC幼稚園）。

視乎哥哥讀嗰間ESF係邊間，一般sibling priority都算好高嘅。

有朋友都係有siblings讀緊中或小學, 真係會直接比佢地排另一條隊, 但學校話有offer最終都係on waitlist (active waitlist....)去等, 有個朋友等左三年, 已經唔同年級時去過兩次面試, 兩次都話pass, 但一直都未有位...所以我諗都要睇埋本身果間ESF小學有幾熱門。

小朋友係咪year 1經central application 報名，定係插其他級？佢地考邊間小學呀？

另外一個要考慮的因素係小朋友本身，out唔outgoing con唔 confident，如果唔係萬一到時面試唔出聲撻Q就失預算。

ESF Kindy priority > SiblingsIf you are aiming for SJS, BHS, KJS, then you probably wanna go to ESF Kindy to secure the kindy priority first, and within the pool you go even further front with your siblings priority. Otherwise, sibling priority should be good enough to secure a place in any ESF primary.

請問你知唔知，如果淨係有sibling priority，冇FP報STJ  Y1有冇機會呢？

應該冇啦，因為kindy non-FP都唔收，kindy先過siblings, 咁siblings應該冇份。反而識得一個case係大嘅小朋友入咗ESF，細嗰個ESF kindy升Y1用siblings priority入到SJS。

仲有嘅係KJS/sjs year 1收non kindy FP 都唔收kindy non FP.

Well it shouldn't come as a surprise.  KJS/SJS are international schools, and they need 70% foreign passport holders as a minimum.  If there aren't enough FP kindy kids, then they will admit non-kindy FP kids to make the numbers.

Wouldn’t the non FP kindy all end up going to other ESF schools and cause those schools to face the same 70% FP issue?

DC and RC will absorb those as they are PIS.  ESF guarantee a primary school place, but not necessarily your first choice.  Only the new Renaissance and Kornhill kindy will be guaranteed a place in certain primary school.
There have been cases where ESF kindy kid with NR but without FP, still couldn't get into SJS.

I wonder if ESF kindy + nonFP + alumni can get into SJS? The reason why not all INR holders could get in is because each school has an INR quota, then alumni priority is basically the next one. Anyone know if there have been precedent cases?

I mean there are non FP kindy who can get into other ESF schools which require 70% FP and this makes me wonder why popular schools like KJS and sjs use FP as a way to screen out students while those other schools don’t seem to have an issue admitting more non FP kindy

ESF Kindy kids without FP have gotten into SJS and KJS without any other priorities. When you apply via central application, it also depends on your luck as they choose via your random application number.

It's supply and demand. The old system limited your choice of schools by your address. There are more ESF primary schools on HK Island but HK Island has smaller population than Kowloon & NT. Students in Peak/Glenealy tended to be primarily FP holders so it was easier for non FP holders to get a place there if they couldnlt get a place in SJS/KJS.
Now even without the school zoning, people living in Kowloon/NT still prefer ESF schools in Kowloon/NT due to travel time and availability of school buses.

Non FP ESF Kindy kids can get into SJS/KJS, just that the competition is more fierce. With 5 classes entry, there are only 45 or less places for non FP holders.  These will be taken by ESF Kindy kids/Siblings/NR/Other priorities and depends on your luck with random application number.
