Primary 1 admission registration
The Education Department reminds parents to go back to the school to which they have applied for a discretionary Primary 1 place for their children between 9 am and 5 pm tomorrow (Friday) or between 9 am and noon the following day (Saturday) to find out the results of their application.
They are also reminded that registration will take place next Monday and Tuesday (December 5 and 6) during school hours.
A spokesman for the Education Department advised parents whose children had been offered a Primary 1 place to note carefully the registration procedures and requirements of individual schools, such as a parent's copy of the Application Form for Admission to Primary One and the number of photos to be brought along to the school.
If they cannot register their children with the school within the specified period, they should notify the school, or through the Primary One Admission Unit of the Education Department on tel 572.4383 to make alternative arrangements.
"If parents fail to do so, they will be deemed to have given up the discretionary place offered by the school," the spokesman said.
Children who have not secured a discretionary place will be centrally allocated to a government or aided primary school.
The spokesman said: "Parents will receive a letter in late February or early March 1995 from the department requesting them to go to a specified distribution and collection centre to collect a 'Choice of Schools' form and a list of all government and aided primary schools in their home district."
Children will be allocated a Primary 1 place under central allocation according to parents' choices.
