Dear Parent/Student
Welcome to our new campus, we trust you had a very relaxing summer break and are ready

Please read through this guide carefully to decide which are the right ECA activities for
you/your child. All ECAs will run for 9/10 sessions this term on the date and time shown
(trips/fixtures and holidays permitting). It is expected that students commit to the ECA for
the entire term to ensure they get the most out of it and allow teachers to plan most
effectively for the group.
Once you have decided on the activities to take part in you can register an interest via the
Ilearn page (link on the e bulletin) and send a cheque into the ECA office located on the first
floor of the Kowloon Bay campus.

Senior InfoWith Universities now looking for students to have an array of skills and experiences on top
of academic qualifications we would encourage students to ensure they have a balance in
their choices and show a commitment to the whole term. To acknowledge this students will
receive a detailed ECA report at the end of the Year to support their academic report.
Please note that last year some students either signed up for activities and quit after two
sessions or were signed up for an ECA by their parent and failed to attend.
It is important that the ECA sign up process is carried out with both parent and child
present to ensure all parties are happy with their ECA choices.
