Note:
- Please pay attention to radio or television announcements made by the Education Bureau during typhoons/rainstorms or visit the webpage of the Hong Kong Observatory
- If Education Bureau announces the closure of schools after the start of the school day, the School will activate our weather contingency plan to ensure that the school will stay open and the staff will look after the pupils who are already in school or on their way to school. Safe and proper arrangements will be made for these pupils to return home at an appropriate time.
- Parents are advised to exercise their discretion in deciding whether or not to send their children to school at the time of inclement weather. Parents should keep their children at home if they consider that local weather, road, slope, traffic or transport conditions at that time are still not completely normal. In such circumstances, allowance will be given to the affected students for lateness or absence from school at their discretion on the day when inclement weather or flooding occurs.
- When Red Rainstorm Warning Signal is hoisted, normal pupil dismissal procedure will be applied. The School will ensure the road condition is safe before allowing pupils to go home.
- When Black Rainstorm Warning Signal is hoisted, pupils are not allowed to leave school for the sake of safety. They will be retained until the signal is cancelled or lowered. Parents should NOT rush to school to collect their children under dangerous conditions.
