The Education Bureau announced today that five schools will remain suspended tomorrow due to nearby road blockages, as affected by the Tai Po fire and obstructed traffic.

The five schools are CCC Fung Leung Kit Memorial Secondary School, Tai Po Baptist Public School, S.K.H. Yuen Chen Maun Chen Primary School, H.K. & Kowloon Kaifong Women’s Association Sun Fong Chung College, and Po Leung Kuk Lau Chun Kindergarten.

For class suspension arrangements, parents are advised to refer to the latest announcements made by the bureau and the schools.

Regarding Primary 1 Discretionary Places, relevant schools have successfully contacted all affected parents today and made special arrangements for registration procedures.

To assist schools in supporting students in need, the bureau has prepared a crisis management resource kit tailored for the fire incident, which includes counselling suggestions for schools and parents, special class period materials and Q&As to help teachers and parents assist students in coping with the incident.

Furthermore, the bureau has contacted counsellors of the Teachers’ Helpline (tel: 8100 3361) for stepping up their telephone counselling and support.

Educational psychologists and officers of the bureau’s Tai Po District School Development Section will maintain close contact with the schools and continue to provide necessary assistance.
