COMPLETED FORMS SHOULD BE RETURNED BETWEEN OCTOBER 6 AND 10 TO ONLY ONE GOVERNMENT OR AIDED PRIMARY SCHOOL DIRECT IN WHICH THE PARENT WISHES TO APPLY FOR A DISCRETIONARY PLACE.
THE SCHOOL MAY EITHER BE WITHIN OR OUTSIDE THE DISTRICT IN WHICH THE FAMILY LIVES. BUT PARENTS ARE ADVISED TO SELECT A NEIGHBOURHOOD SCHOOL IN ORDER TO REDUCE UNNECESSARY TRANSPORT PROBLEMS AND TO TAKE THE POINTS SYSTEM INTO CONSIDERATION WHEN SELECTING A SCHOOL.
GENERALLY, THE POINTS SYSTEM IS BASED ON THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SCHOOL AND THE CHILD'S FAMILY AS WELL AS THE CHILD'S AGE.
THE SPOKESMAN EMPHASISED THAT ONLY ONE APPLICATION FORM CAN BE SUBMITTED FOR ANY ONE CHILD.
+ IF PARENTS ARE FOUND TO HAVE APPLIED TO MORE THAN ONE GOVERNMENT OR AIDED SCHOOL, THEY WILL AUTOMATICALLY FORFEIT THE PRIVILEGE OF BEING ELIGIBLE FOR A DISCRETIONARY PLACE, HE SAID.
PARENTS OF CHILDREN WHO CANNOT USE CHINESE AS THE LEARNING MEDIUM SHOULD SEEK ADVICE FROM THE DEPARTMENT'S PRIMARY ONE ADMISSION UNIT AT 269 QUEEN'S ROAD EAST, WAN CHAI (TEL. 5-742383) BEFORE SUBMITTING THE APPLICATION FORM.
SCHOOLS RECEIVING TOO FEW APPLICATIONS FOR DISCRETIONARY PLACES MIGHT NOT BE ALLOWED TO OPERATE PRIMARY ONE CLASSES, AND IN SUCH CASES, CHILDREN ALREADY ACCEPTED BY THESE SCHOOLS FOR DISCRETIONARY PLACES WILL HAVE TO BE SUBSEQUENTLY RE-ALLOCATED TO OTHER SCHOOLS WHICH HAVE VACANCIES.
IF PARENTS DO NOT WISH TO APPLY FOR A DISCRETIONARY PLACE IN ANY PARTICULAR SCHOOL, THEY SHOULD RETURN THE COMPLETED APPLICATION FORM BETWEEN OCTOBER 6 AND 10 TO ONE OF THE FOLLOWING COLLECTION CENTRES FOR CENTRAL ALLOCATION BY THE DEPARTMENT WHICH WILL TAKE PLACE EARLY NEXT YEAR.
