Special arrangements for schools in bad weather

The Education Department today (Friday) drew the attention of kindergartens, schools and parents to the arrangements made by the department in the event of heavy rains and tropical cyclones in the summer months.

In the case of rainstorm warnings, which are operated 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.

All schools will also close for the day when tropical cyclone warning signal No 8 or a higher signal is issued.

Closure of all kindergartens when tropical cyclone warning signal No 3 is hoisted will be announced through radio and television stations.

The Assistant Director (Schools), Mr Kwan Shu-tsun, 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.

"In case students are already on their way to school when rainstorm warning signal red/black or tropical cyclone warning No 8 is issued, schools should arrange with teachers and staff to look after the students until it is safe for them to go home."
