"Extreme Condition"

According to the “extreme condition” policy issued by the Government, students are advised to stay in the place they are currently in or in safe places when a warning is announced by the Government. When the warning is in force, parents should stay alert to further EDB’s announcements.

Pick-up Procedures

When a parent collects his/her child from the classroom, the class teacher will note down the name and telephone number of the parent or designated adult so that further contact can be made when necessary. The Emergency Release Registry would be carefully kept by the class teacher to ensure a clear record at the school. Parents should understand that it will take a moment (about 15 ~ 20 minutes) for the processing.

Contingency Plan

The School will take care of those children who come to the school despite of cyclone signal until the end of class session time, so that their parents can receive them. The School will have staff appropriately to handle this contingency, but there will be no class.
