Hi, just chasing some information/advice on getting primary school aged kids into a HK International school. Anyone got experience sending their Aussie kids to an ESF school? Also, there seems to be 'long' wait lists for most of these schools, would love to know other experiences such as how long it took to get admission to the school of choice & how many other schools you need to also apply for? Any advice would be much appreciated.
