Parents of primary school pupils can get the latest information on more than 400 local secondary schools online with the launch of the Committee on Home-School Co-operation Secondary School Profiles 2005-2006.

The profile offers basic information on secondary schools by school net - such as school characteristics, facilities, class structure, extra-curricular activities and fees - to aid parents' choice of schools.

Current Primary Six pupils will be the first batch of students to benefit from the new senior secondary curriculum to be introduced in 2009. As such, the profile has included for parents' reference the schools' preliminary planned elective subjects and/or career-oriented studies at senior secondary level.

Schools may make changes to the offers, though, based on the actual school development as well as manpower and financial resources in the coming years.

To read the latest secondary school profiles, click here. Copies of the printed version will be available at district offices, public libraries, Education & Manpower Bureau regional education offices and the committee's parents' centre from December 12.

Parents of primary school pupils will receive the printed version on a district basis through their schools.
