ESF Places
What is the low-down on ESF schools?
I was told by 1 person they have to offer you a place if you speak no Chinese, but another disagreed with this.
I rang them to check and they were very vague.
What is everyone's experiences?

No, but it effects your priority for an interview.
***********
*
Applications in higher categories will be invited for interviews before those in lower ones, regardless of the date of application.
3. CATEGORIES THAT DETERMINE INTERVIEW PRIORITY:
Category 1. First language English speaking students who cannot attend a local school because of insufficient grasp of Cantonese.
Category 2. Students whose first language is not English who cannot attend a local school because of insufficient grasp of Cantonese.
Category 3. Students with English as an additional language, who qualify to attend a local school.
Within each category priority will be given to students who:
* have brothers or sisters already attending the school
* are attending an ESF Educational Services kindergarten (for Y1 only)
* are former students returning from a period overseas
* have a parent who is a full time employee of the ESF
* are the children of former students of the school.
A student who has no place in a Hong Kong school, on arrival in Hong Kong, will take preference over a student with a place in another Hong Kong school.
