Registration of successful applicants will take place on December 6 and 7 (Wednesday and Thursday) during school hours. Parents are advised to note carefully the registration procedures and requirements of individual schools, such as the parent's copy of the Application Form for Primary One Admission and the number of photographs to be brought along to the school for registration purpose.
Registration of the child with the school will be regarded as binding on both the school and the parent.
The spokesman said: "If parents, for matters of grave importance, cannot register their child with the school within the specified period, they should notify the responsible person of the school concerned to make alternative arrangements.
"If they fail to do so, they will be deemed to have given up the discretionary place offered by the school."
Parents of children who are unable to secure a discretionary place at this stage, together with those who only intend to take part in the Central Allocation, will be informed by letter in late February or early March 1996 to go to a Distribution/Collection Centre in their home district for choice of schools.
The Education Department will then allocate to the children Primary One places within their home district in accordance with parental choices as far as possible. Detailed procedure of the Central Allocation will be announced later.
