(REMINDER) Bus Service Registration

Dear Parents, 

We hope you are having a wonderful summer. As the first school term approaches, we kindly remind you to register your child for the school bus service as soon as possible if needed.

School Bus Arrangements

Our school bus service is run by an outside company, Kwoon Chung Motors Company Limited.

Routes: Bus routes operate across Hong Kong Island, covering areas from Chai Wan (Island East) to Pok Fu Lam (Island West) and South Horizon (Island South).

Schedules: The Bus Company will tell parents about specific bus pick-up and drop-off points and times about one week before school starts.

Route Operation: The bus routes depend on the number of children who sign up. This means some locations might not have bus service. We advise parents to confirm their transport plans before enrolling in kindergarten.

Fees: Bus and escort (bus mother) fees are paid each term, no matter the distance.

Private Arrangement: This bus service is a private arrangement between parents and the bus company. 

Application: If your child needs school bus service, please apply using the registration link as soon as possible.

Any questions, changes, or concerns should be sent directly to Kwoon Chung Motors Company Limited.

K1 Induction Weeks: For K1 induction weeks, to help with a smooth start, the full bus service will not be available. In the second week, if your child will be taking the bus, please do not wait at school to say goodbye, as this can increase anxiety. A quick and cheerful drop-off helps your child settle in.

Any questions, changes, or concerns should be sent directly to Kwoon Chung Motors Company Limited.

Confirmation of School Place and Advance Fees for 2025/26 - ESF Hillside International Kindergarten

Dear Parents

As we approach the end of the school year, we are writing to let you know the procedure to confirm your child’s place for 2025/26. If you will be withdrawing your child and have submitted the Withdrawal Notice to your school, please ignore this letter.

Every year, parents need to reserve a school place for their child for the following year by making an advance payment of September’s fees as a surety.

Advance Payment

The advance fees for K2 students in the next academic year 2025/26 are HK$9.580. These advance fees will be used to offset the tuition fees for September 2025. If there is a revision of fees in the next academic year, the difference will be payable in September 2025.

Please note that your child’s school place will not be confirmed if we do not receive your advance fees before the payment due date or if there are any outstanding tuition fees on the account without prior arrangement at the beginning of the next academic year.

Settlement

The advance payment will be debited from your designated bank account on 1 August 2025. Please ensure that there are sufficient funds in the account.

If you have not set up the direct debit authorisation yet, please complete the Direct Debit Authorisation Form and send it back to ESF Centre, G.P.O. Box 11284, Hong Kong by 1 June 2025 as it may take up to six weeks for the bank to process the direct debit.

If your monthly tuition fees are being settled by your employer directly, please make the payment by cheque on or before 15 July 2025:

1. Click here to download and complete the Cheque Payment Slip;
2. Send the cheque payment slip together with a crossed cheque made payable to “The ESF Educational Services Ltd” to “G.P.O. Box 11284, Hong Kong” on or before 15 July 2025. Post-dated cheques are not accepted.

Student Withdrawals

If you are withdrawing your child at the end of this academic year, please submit the student withdrawal notice via the ESF App by 1 June 2025. Otherwise, we will assume that your child is returning after summer and parents are liable for the tuition fees for September 2025 even if the student does not return to school.

Should you have any queries regarding the above, please contact our Billing Team at billing@esfcentre.edu.hk

We would like to thank you for your cooperation on this matter, and we wish your child every success in 2025/26.

Yours sincerely
