Prevocational school applications close Thursday

Parents of Primary 6 pupils are reminded that the deadline for applications for Secondary 1 places in Prevocational Schools in the 1995-96 school year is Thursday (December 15).

An Education Department spokesman said completed application forms should be returned via the pupil's primary school.

"Once a pupil is selected for admission to a prevocational school, he will not be eligible for allocation to other schools. However, unsuccessful candidates for prevocational schools are still eligible for central allocation of school places in the Secondary School Places Allocation exercise," he said.

The spokesman said all applicants would be invited to attend an interview on February 11 next year. Those who are not invited for interview by January 26 should contact the Education Department's Secondary School Places Allocation Section on 2891 2200.
