Special arrangements for schools in bad weather
The Education Department today (Monday) drew the attention of all kindergartens, schools and parents to the arrangements made by the department in the event of tropical cyclones and heavy rain in the summer months.
Under the arrangements, the Education Department will announce the closure of all kindergartens through radio and television stations when tropical cyclone warning signal No. 3 is hoisted.
When a No. 8 or higher signal is issued, an announcement will be made to close all schools for the day.
In the case of rainstorm warnings operating on a colour coded warning system of green, amber, red and black the department will make an announcement to close all schools once the "red" or "black" warning is issued.

A spokesman said: "Whenever possible, the department will make the first school closure announcement before 6.15 am for AM and whole-day schools and before 11 am for PM schools and the PM session of whole-day schools.
