We'll be moving to HKG for 6mths starting next Jan ... any schooling suggestion for my 6 years old boy? Does the JK schools in HKG accept "short-term" enrollment?

Would recommend you contact the Singapore International School and other International primary schools. Check the GeoKids Directory for a full list. Personally I wouldn't tell the school that you are here for only a short stay. To be honest, people who plan to come to HK for a short period end up having their contracts extended and staying for years.
Good luck!

Primary school question
We are in the midst of trying to find a primary school for our soon-to-be four year old. One of the things that you need to know about schooling in Hong Kong is that it is competitive and that there a very wide variety of options. For example, there are all the international schools, Australian Int'l, Canadian Int'l, American Int'l etc. and each of them has strengths and weaknesses. There are also the ESF schools, schools that focus on language (mandarin, for example), montessori vs. traditional methods. If you have something in mind or objectives/preferences for your child's schooling, you might want to share that which would make it easier for people to give you advice.
And yes, Casa dei Bambini is for 1-6 but their primary school is, I believe, called International Montessori School.
Additionally, the SCMP (local english newspaper) publishes The Good Schools Guide that runs down many of the various options, sorted by type and location. You should try to get a copy of it.
