I got the feeling the OP with 4 kids was on a very tight budget. No matter, schools are a headache; hope OP is able to find some decent suitable places.
Can an expat child attend a local govt/aided primary school?

have heard PLK Camoes Tan Siu Lin is good
Thanks, Portia. That's exactly my point. Since DGS was mentioned - and it's not exactly cheap at around $50,000/year, considered that you also need to spend several thousand dollars to buy text books on top of it as well.
I don't know how Maryknoll Convent runs their program. It's free if you can get a space at year 2. I know its former sister school Marymount on HK island used to offer an alternative at Year 3 for students to switch to 100% English program without Chinese - if Chinese ends up to be too difficult to follow. So Maryknoll might be similar. (These two schools used to be run by a group of nuns from Maryknoll, but the nuns at Marymount left in the early 1980s. It used to be called Maryknoll Sisters' School.)
