Parents who wish to apply under the Primary One admission system for a Primary One place for their child in any government or aided school in September 2006, are reminded to submit their applications from Monday, September 26.

The Education & Manpower Bureau said today parents should submit the completed application form with all supporting documents directly to the selected school during school office hours between tomorrow and Friday, September 30.

The bureau stressed parents should submit only one application form for each child, otherwise their application would be rendered void.

Parents may apply to a school in or outside the school net in which they reside. But they should take into account possible transport problems when selecting a school outside their neighbourhood.

Children who have accepted the offer of P1 places in Direct Subsidy Scheme primary schools will not be allocated P1 places in government or aided primary schools through the POA System.

Parents who opt to apply only for Central Allocation should submit the completed application forms and supporting documents by January 20, 2006, to the bureau's School Places Allocation Section, 2/F, Lui Kee Education Services Centre, 269 Queen's Road East, Wan Chai.
