About the Handbook 1. This Handbook provides parents with the necessary information regarding school policies and

Handbook will be accurate and up to date one month before the new school year. Updated information

will be posted on the College Homepage whenever necessary. Parents will be informed at the same

To the parents

When parents enroll their children in our college, we assume that they are pledging to work together with

teachers and staff members in educating the students. Effective communication between parents and the

college is an essential part of this process. You are strongly encouraged to read this Handbook and also the

students’ handbook carefully.

During the school year, please check the Student Handbook every day for messages from the college

concerning your child. There is space in the student handbook for you to write to the class teacher of your

child too. You are also welcome to call the General Office for any enquiry.
