Basicly, when we went to the Abacus school visit.. Frances, the principal told us that if you are invited and the letter didn't say waiting list, they will offer a place as long as the child is true Cat 1 child and has no special needs that the school cannot accommodate. They did ask us our preference at Abacus, because with the new school time there (12:30 - 3:30), some parents actually prefer the afternoon session. We were offered AM class and needed to pay the deposit by mid-Feb. They respond very quickly and answer parents' questions. They did mention that many students leave at K2 to go to other IS reception classes and GSIS.
karenchan... I shouldn't worry too much about it. Good luck
