Notes
Unless the Education Bureau announces the suspension of classes at the relevant education centre, the general announcement regarding the suspension of classes for all primary and secondary schools, special schools and kindergartens in Hong Kong shall not apply to our organisation.
In general, if competitions or classes are suspended due to typhoons or rainstorms, the Centre will make every effort to arrange make-up competitions or classes. If this is not possible, no make-up session will be provided.
