Hi, I'm hoping that someone out there might be able to help me with some information. My husband will be relocating to HK in December and depending on school places (we will be applying for ESF places) I hope to come with our 2 children who are 7 and 5 at the same time (but I'm not holding my breath!). I was chatting with someone in ESF Admin who told me that she had heard there were some Kindergarten/Nurseries that were offering Year 1 classes to children who were on waitlists but couldn't remember which ones they were. Has anyone heard of this and, if so, which nurseries these are? Many thanks

Thanks Cara very useful information for me - can now start to contact some kindergartens. The question was prompted by the knowledge that currently there would be a year 3 space but of course this can all change overnight! Thanks again.

DMK in Discovery Bay have also for the first time doing a K3a class - basically for those 6 yrs olds (Year 2) waiting to get a school place.
Also yes, Woodland Schools are doing a Year 1 place.

Southside Academy is running a K3 - P1 class. It is in Repulse Bay. Highly recommended. PM me for further info or call the Principal, Mrs Alison Sewell, on 2592 7527. They have 1 or 2 places available at present.
One thing to bear in mind is that in the kindys you will find most of the older kids have moved on to primary, so your child could possibly be the oldest one surrounded by a lot of younger ones. If this is something that might be a problem then look for a kindy offering a K3-P1 class, such as Southside (mentioned above).
