Working Groups

The Committee fulfils its mission through the work of its four working groups.

Others

The Committee on Home-School Co-operation had conducted 'home-school co-operation' visits to neighboring areas. The knowledge and experience gained by members during the visits helped the Committee in finding a better direction for long-term development of home-school co-operation in Hong Kong . At the beginning of the 21st century, the Committee keeps holding topical campaign annually. Apart from the Ceremony for 10th Anniversary of the Committee in 2003, functions with topics in "New Parents in 21st century", "New Century Learning-Family" and "Let's Create our Learning-Family" were also organized in the past few years.
