SIX MORE GOVERNMENT PRIMARY SCHOOLS

TO HAVE WHOLE DAY SCHOOLING

Another step has been taken by the Education Department to

re-introduce whole day schooling from next September in six nore government

primary schools in areas where there are sufficient primary places.

The Assistant Director of Education (Primary), Mr. K.S. Yeung,

said today that five of the schools are on Hong Kong Island and one

in Kowloon.

"They bring to seven the total number of government primary

schools with whole day sessions," Mr. Yeung said.

The existing whole day school is the Pokfulam Government Primary

School. The others going into single session are: Arsenal Street Police

Primary School, Eastern Hospital Road Government Primary School, Hollywood

Road Government Primary School, Morrison Hill Government Primary School

and the Yu To Sang Memorial School all on Hong Kong Island and the Tai

Hang Tung Government Primary School in Kowloon.

Parents or guardians who wish to seek admission for their children

to Primary 1 in these seven schools and other bi-sessional government primary

schools can do so between May 10 and 26 when application forms will be

available from these schools in Hong Kong, Kowloon and the New Territories.

Only children born between September 2, 1965 and September 1, 1967

will be considered for admission. In other words, they must be six years of

age or under eight by western reckoning on September 1, 1973.
