May I ask which school? Bradbury has a lot of movement usually (a lot of expats), QBS is not too bad either, possibly others. These are also the bigger schools on the island (with Kennedy) so more chances (than Peak and Glenealy). Agree, HKA may not be very easy. Fees have increased big time as well. But definitely worth looking at. Good luck! I feel lucky we arrived a month before Y1 applications started, found a preschool and twins just got accepted as ESF as well. I know lots of not so happy people.
