Parent Experience

History

Kiangsu & Chekiang Primary School was established in 1953 by the Kiangsu and Chekiang Residents’ Association (Hong Kong). The school began as a Mandarin-medium institution serving the local community in North Point. Over time, it expanded to include a full primary and secondary programme. In 1993, the school introduced its International Section, offering an English-medium curriculum with daily Mandarin instruction. The school remains owned and operated by the Kiangsu and Chekiang Residents’ Association, continuing its long-standing commitment to bilingual education.

Community

The school fosters a strong sense of community through regular events that bring together students, teachers, and families. Activities such as “Meet the Teacher” sessions, annual progress reporting, and cultural celebrations strengthen parent-school engagement. While specific event listings vary each year, the emphasis on collaboration and communication between families and staff is consistently reflected in the school’s published materials.

Parent Teacher Association (PTA)

The Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) was founded in the mid-1950s, shortly after the school’s establishment. The PTA works closely with the school to promote cooperation between parents and teachers and to support student development. It organises a variety of community activities, including spring outings, festive gatherings, and award programmes, which encourage family participation in school life. The PTA operates under an elected executive committee, with regular updates and event announcements published on its official website.
