IV. School Major Concerns 2012/2013
1. Green Education
a. Green School (2011/2012)
Cultivating among the stakeholders an awareness ofthe Four Principles of Waste Reduction – “Reduce”, “Reuse”, “Recycle” and “Replace” (Principles of 4Rs) and incorporating them into the learning and teaching activities.
b. Green Life (2012/2013)
Encouraging the stakeholders to implement the “Principles of 4Rs” in their daily life and adopt a cleaner and greener lifestyle for Environmental Conservation with the following strategies:
- Interaction and Recognition
- Back to Nature
- Energy Conservation and Generation
- Recycling and Waste Reduction
c. Green Community (2013/2014)
- Promoting healthy, eco-friendly and sustainable living to the people of the community.
- Instilling in the stakeholders a commitment to the environment and social responsibility through the activities and interaction with the community.
To establish a Green School, a variety of strategies have been successfully put into operation at Munsang to help the stakeholders become more aware of Environmental Conservation since September 2011. As a continuation of Green School, Green Life is chosen as School Major Concern of 2012/2013 to promote a cleaner and green lifestyle on campus as well at home. Needless to say, Green Life is definitely a mission impossible without the support of parents. We earnestly request your support to help accomplish the major concern and strengthen home-school co-operation. Below is a brief outline of the events to be held this year for your reference.

VII. Student and Parent Handbook 2012/2013
The Student and Parent Handbooks are for the easy reference of both students and parents. The content of the handbook covers information of the "parent-teacher correspondence", "school rules and regulations", "examination regulations", "assessment criteria", "remedial programs", co-curricular activities", etc. Parents are invited to make good use of the handbook for getting to know us more and also for communicating with us.
VIII. Students' Medical History
In order to provide our students with better support services, you are invited to supply the information of your children's medication condition by completing the attached reply slip and returning it to the Class Teachers on 5th September, 2012 (Wed).
IX. P.E. Lessons and Sports Activities
It is our objective to provide students with balanced development in integrity, intelligence, physical fitness, gregariousness and aesthetic. Physical Education is therefore a compulsory subject in our formal curriculum and all students must attend P.E. lessons.
If a student suffering from serious health problems (e.g. chronic heart disease, injuries, surgical operation, and other diseases concerning internal organ or acute infections) wishes to be given exemption from P.E. / swimming lessons either temporarily or on a long term basis, application should be made to the Physical Education Department of the school on/before 15th September, 2012. The application should be in the form of a letter signed by a parent of the student, together with a medical certificate given by a doctor practicing western medicine. The student who has been granted exemption is still required to attend the P.E. lessons as an observer. Furthermore, he/she will not be allowed to participate in any extra-curricular sports activity until a written application to resume his/her P.E. / swimming lessons is made by his/her parents. The school holds no liability in this connection.
We therefore urge you as parents to make an early application to the school pursuant to this letter where you consider that your son/daughter cannot do vigorous physical exercises either temporarily or on a long-term basis. Appropriate arrangements will then proceed accordingly.
X. Careers Committee

XII. Moral and National Education
For the information of parents, the Education Bureau has never requested all schools, both primary and secondary, to start integrating Moral and National Education into the formal curriculum in September 2012. While there is a 3-year preparation period for primary schools, that for secondary is 4-year.
Accordingly, both Munsang College and Munsang College Primary School have decided to make good use of the above-mentioned preparation period to get ourselves well-prepared enough, pedagogy-wise and teaching material-wise, before we formally introduce the subject to our students, most likely, by the end of the preparation period given.
XIII. Message from the Principal
In order to remind students and parents of the important school programmes / functions / events, a total of five "Message from the Principal" will be printed and also uploaded onto the school homepage in this academic year on the dates listed below and parents are invited to offer us their opinions on school administration on the reply slip:
3rd September, 2012, 13th December, 2012, 21st March, 2013, 20th May, 2013, 10th July, 2013
Parents are also invited to view our homepage for a comprehensive picture and the most updated information of the college.
May I wish all my students another fruitful year with great achievements!
Yours sincerely,
Kuby CHAN
