The Primary School Profiles 2008 will be updated on the Internet September 8 allowing parents to check the latest school information online. Printed copies will be distributed to parents through kindergartens and childcare centres.

The profiles provide basic information on more than 500 local primary schools, including details on teaching staff, school facilities, class structure, school life, extra-curricular activities and school characteristics.

In addition to comprehensive school information, the profiles also depict the three steps in choosing a primary school to help parents make an informed choice.

The online version will be uploaded to the Committee on Home-School Co-operation's website. Copies of the printed version will be available for public reference at District Offices, public libraries, the Education Bureau's Regional Education Offices and the Central Resources Centre.
