Interview Arrangement and Selection Criteria
  • All the branches of Sun Island will fairly and impartially admit students based on the following criteria:
    • ( 1 ) Performance of the child during the interview
      • The Principal or a teacher will interview each child individually with the company of the parents.
      • The objective of the interview is to observe the general development of the child through his/her interactions with the teacher, and thus to consider the suitability of the child to start schooling.
    • ( 2 ) Priority of acceptance will be given to the following children:
      • Relatives of the graduates and the currently enrolled students of the Branch to which the children are applying for admission. (For definition of relatives, please refer to “Definition of Relatives (for Enrolment)”.)
      • Children of the staff of Sun Island Education Foundation
      • Children who are living nearby (in the same district of the Branch)
  • Priority of acceptance will also be given to children from the below families who are applying for Whole-Day session in our school, however, parents have to provide corresponding documents to the school for verification. The provision of the corresponding documents is voluntary and will only be used for the purpose of the enrollment application of the children:
    • Families with two working parents (both parents are having a full time job)
    • Families who need to take care of one or more persons with a disability at home
  • Arrangement for admission application of Non-Chinese Speaking (NCS) Children: When interviewing NCS children, interpretation service (https://hkcscheer.net/interpretation-and-translation-services) for applicants could be arranged where necessary, or parents and children are allowed to be accompanied by a Chinese speaking relative/friend to facilitate communication. Non-Chinese Speaking (NCS) Parents can reach us at [email protected] OR fax to 2834 3322.
  • Number of Applicants to be interviewed: Taking into account of the limitation of time and manpower, our Branches will try their best to interview all the applicants. If the number of applicants is more than the Branch can cope with, the Branch will interview at least twice the number of vacancies of the Nursery (K1) Class being recruited, or about 85% of the total number of applications received.
  • Under normal circumstances, when the Branch formally receives the Application Form from the parents, the staff will inform the parents the date and time of the interview. Parents must accompany their children to attend the interview as scheduled. Parents who do not attend the interview arranged will be considered as giving up the application. If parents need to reschedule the interview, they have to inform the Branch as early as possible to make another appointment, provided that the Branch still has interview slots available. Parents, therefore, are advised to make sure that it is a possible arrangement when they are informed about the interview in the first instance to avoid any delay in their child’s application.
  • Date of Interview: According to the guideline of Education Bureau, all applicants of Nursery (K1) Class should be interviewed starting from November. We shall strive to conduct all the interviews in this month. Should individual Branch cannot complete all the interviews in November due to the number of applications, the interview period will be extended.
  • Notification of Interview Result (for the acceptance list and the waiting list students) : A Letter of Acceptance will be issued to parents before 15th December, 2023. Parents should return the reply slip to the school before the deadline stated in the Letter to confirm that the offer is accepted by the parents. Parents of children who are not on the acceptance list will also be notified in writing before 15th December. If the parents who want to put their children on the waiting list, please return the reply slip before the deadline stated in the letter.
  • Interview Arrangement for Pre-Nursery, Lower and Upper Class Applications: Interviews will be arranged as early as in September or October according to the arrangement of individual Branch. Parents will be notified the result of the interview as soon as possible after the interview. Thus, for admission of students other than Nursery (K1) Class, “first-come-first-serve” is one of the criteria in addition to the above mentioned selection criteria.
Registration of New Nursery (K1) Class Students
  • All the applicants for Nursery (K1) Class, who have been accepted, must register with the Branch during the “Centralised Registration Dates” specified by Education Bureau to confirm the place reservation for next school year. Parents must provide the original copy of the “Registration Certificate for Kindergarten Admission” (hereafter referred to as “RC”) and pay the Registration Fee to complete the registration.
  • If the RC has not yet been issued, parents must provide a confirmation letter from Education Bureau certifying that the RC application is being processed. Once the RC is issued, the parents should submit the original copy of the RC to the Branch as soon as possible.
  • If parents cannot provide the RC or confirmation letter from Education Bureau, the Branch will not process the registration of the child and will not reserve any place for him/her. Therefore, parents should submit their RC application as early as possible so that the admission application will not be affected.
  • The “Centralised Registration Dates” for 2024/25 applications is 4th to 6th January, 2024.
  • Parents who do not complete the registration during the “Centralised Registration Dates” will be considered as giving up the place reserved for their children.

Apart from making enquiry directly to us, parents may refer to the K1 vacancy information released by Education Bureau for any vacancies still available in Sun Island.
