Conferencing with the teachersThere are times when parents wish to conference with
the class teachers. We would ask that all parents use the appropriate communication channels to arrange times to meet with staff. Teachers cannot have a conference/discussion with you at certain times - they are responsible for 27 other students as well as your child.
Share the ‘good news’ not just the ‘bad.’Use email carefully. More than 5 sentences may mean it
is better to arrange a meeting.If you need a Chinese interpreter we can arrange this for
you. Alternatively, you can have a member of your family provide a Chinese translation if needed.
We do have ‘formalized’ conference times but these also include the students – at RCHK they are an important part of the conference process.
School uniformParents need to ensure that thechildren are appropriately dressed in the RCHK school uniform.School shoes should be black or tan. On days when the students have PE class they are able to wear the PEUniform (or House T-shirts) to school. Sports shoes may be
wornon these days.
School bags• Large enough to fit:
- Communication bag- Snack bag (in a bag with handles)- Water bottle- Lunch (if bringing home lunch)- Hat- Bus tag
At RCHK we …
respect ourselves respect others respect the environment DON’T FORGET NO HAT NO PLAY - please
remind your child to bring a hat.
NO HAT NO PLAY!
Attendance at eventsThere are times when Primary students are
invited to attend Secondary school events – concerts, plays etc.
It is important to note that social events organized by Secondary students are solely for Secondary students. Primary students are not able to attend.
