Attention TV and radio duty announcers:

     Please broadcast the following special announcement by the Education Bureau concerning schools, and repeat it at suitable intervals:

     As the Tropical Cyclone Warning Signal No. 3 is now in force, classes of AM and whole-day kindergartens, schools for children with physical disability and schools for children with intellectual disability are suspended today (September 25).

     If the Hong Kong Observatory cancels the Tropical Cyclone Warning Signal No. 3 before 10.30am, classes of PM kindergartens will resume today unless advised otherwise.

     Classes of other day schools, including primary and secondary schools, and classes of evening schools resume today. If the premises or the surrounding environment of individual schools are still undergoing cleaning or repair works, schools may decide whether to continue to suspend classes according to their school-based needs. They should inform all parents and students of the arrangements as soon as possible. Nevertheless, these schools should keep their premises open under safe conditions and arrange staff members to take care of students who have a genuine need to return to school in a safe place within the school premises in accordance with the established guideline on contingency measures. Parents should consider factors, such as their home conditions, the road conditions in the vicinity and the local district weather when deciding whether to send their children to schools.
