***************************************
The following is issued on behalf of the Committee on Home-School Co-operation:
The Committee on Home-School Co-operation (CHSC) will upload the e-version (in Chinese and English) of Primary School Profiles 2012 on Wednesday (September 5). The printed version (in Chinese) will be delivered to kindergartens and kindergarten-cum-child care centres for distribution to parents with children at the K3 level in the current school year.
Primary School Profiles 2012 contains information provided by individual schools showing the position as at April 2012. The profiles provide basic information on more than 500 local primary schools, covering school facilities, teaching staff information, class structure, school life, extra-curricular activities and school characteristics.
With comprehensive school information as well as the "Message for Parents from the Chairman", the profiles aim to assist parents in making an informed choice of primary schools.
The e-version of the profiles enables schools to update their information on the Web directly whenever necessary, and parents can obtain the most up-to-date school information.
The profiles are divided by districts. Parents of children who will study at Primary One level in September 2013 will receive the printed version of the profiles for the district in which they live through their respective kindergartens or kindergarten-cum-child care centres. For children not attending kindergartens or kindergarten-cum-child care centres, parents may obtain a copy from the School Places Allocation Section of the Education Bureau (EDB).
The public can access the e-version of the profiles by visiting the Primary School Profiles website at www.chsc.hk/primary or m.chsc.hk/primary (mobile version). Copies of the printed version will be available for public reference at District Offices, public libraries, Regional Education Offices and the EDB's Central Resources Centre.
For enquiries about the profiles, please call the EDB's Regional Education Offices (Hong Kong: 2863 4646; Kowloon: 3698 4108; New Territories East: 2639 4876; and New Territories West: 2437 7272) or the CHSC secretariat (3698 4376).
