Grade 12 NS
A reminder that there is a meeting for all Grade 12 boys doing NS on Thursday, October 8 in Science Lab 6 at 1pm. If everyone is on time this should be a short meeting. If you cannot make the meeting you must see me or email me before.
Grade 12 – Hong Kong University
Applications for Hong Kong University opened in September and will remain open until January 29, 2010. If you are interested in applying you should do so soon and then send your final results when you get them in January. When applying you are strongly advised to include a personal statement (Part D), even though it is optional and even if you are not applying for a scholarship.
Students who had a preliminary scholarship interview in early August and want to apply to HKU must complete the application form. If you do not apply HKU will assume you are no longer interested. You are advised to apply well before the January deadline.
