letter from Shatin Junior

Dear Moms,

Anyone receive interview letter from SJS?

Dommom

I did, but my kids is a sibling.  His eldest brother is in SJS.

BBQQ

If you still haven't received anything from SJS by now, that means you are not offered an interview in the first round.  Which kinder your kid's in?

joenkm

I did yesterday. SJS suggested me to take alternative because of the long long queue.

ashleymama

Same to me!

joenkm

Want to know, is the kid still in the queue. Even they are not able to join P1, but they still be able to join P2 or P3 or so on.

Dear Y2KChild,

Many thanks for your advice, I will act immediately. But I want to clarify, you meant to submit the application form directly to SJS not the central one?

joenkm

Get you, thanks a lot.

One more question, can I apply other ESF even I am living in Shatin now ?

bbtung

I understand from KJS that all the applications will be handled by the central office since academic 2005. All application form received by individual ESF school will be forwarded to central office for follow up actions.  It is the new arrangement upon the change of the top management of ESF.

joenkm

Thanks again for the clarification. I must act now.

Dear Y2K Child,

You mention about sending application letter directly to the corresponding ESF if we are not pick up in the P1 interview in this round.
How it work?  Should I apply for year 2006-P1 class or 2007 P2 class?

Dear ashleymama & joenkm,

So pity, I have the same letter!  

Any other international school you apply?

ashleymama

dear weeweewet,
never mind! once you have seen the campus, you won't feel so pity for not going to SJS. by the way,of course i chose SJS for my daughter because of the lower school fees compare to other int'l schools. also for good academic level of shatin college(secondary). so i hope first to enter SJS then  SC will be 99% for sure. however, we are at the bottom of the pirority list. so i believe the waiting list at SJS is really long and long....
I've just sent application to JIS, actually I like this school most as excellent campus / environment, IB program, my girl can take japanese as second language program, not many local students, but it only has primary section at this moment, well, tuition fees is expensive, too. but imy girl still may not have good chance to enter this school as it has only one class per grade.
ah.... headache....

joenkm

I applied Rennaisance and CAIS, CAIS offered interview but I may properly drop off the interview. I chose SJS as my first priority so Rennaisance will not give me interview in the coming near future. Ren may offer interview later because ESF said if 1st priority failed then 2nd choice may give you chance providing if they have room.

My boys currently in NIS and Kingston, will move to HLYIS because I opt for English curriculum, I myself grad from London and family are there, so I'd rather stick on British Cur and that's why I will turn down CAIS even so many good comments about this school.

Hi,

I have a question.  My son was born in June 2002.  If I want to apply P1.  What time I need to send the application form?

many thanks,
