Parent FAQ

How does the discretionary allocation scoring work for Lai Chi Kok Catholic Primary School?

The school follows the Education Bureau's POA system. In the discretionary phase, scoring typically includes: whether parents are alumni, siblings currently enrolled, parents as school staff, and religious affiliation. Specific scoring details can be found in the EDB guidelines and the school's 'P1 Admission Notes'. It is advisable to call the school to confirm the scoring criteria for the current year.

Does my child need to be Catholic to be admitted?

No, subsidized schools cannot reject applicants based on religion. However, having the same religion as the school may earn extra points in discretionary allocation (e.g., for Catholic schools, 'same religion as the sponsoring body'). Non-Catholic families can still apply but may not receive those points. Please refer to the school website or EDB score table for details.

When is the school open day usually held?

Open days or school briefings are typically held from September to October each year. Exact dates are announced on the school website (http://www.lcps.edu.hk) under 'Latest News' or 'School Events'. You can also call the school office to inquire.
