Memo
To: All Staff
From: Jakie Mok, Secretary; Sports Development Committee
Date: May 20, 2010
A week ago, "Sports for Life" programme was sent to the parents, requiring them to select a sport they
wanted their child to play. Since then, our staff have received lots of calls from parents asking for more
information about it. Here is a memo (备忘录) for your reference when you answer the phones.
Sports 1: Basketball.
We expect that this will be the most popular of the four sports. Therefore, students should be advised to
sign up as soon as possible. Students will take a private bus to and from Kwun Tong Sports Park. To cover
the cost of hiring a bus, each student will have to pay ＄10 each time. There will be four basketball courts
available for our use with one teacher watching over each game.
Sports 2: Gym
We will be using St. Peter"s Memorial Park. There are two reasons for choosing this park. Frist, it is not
very busy and crowded before 6:00 pm. Second, it has lot of trees with plenty of shade. Students must bring
along two bottles of water to prevent thirst. Three activities, skipping, jogging, outdoor aerobics (有氧运动),
all of which are free of charge, will be arranged. And there will be a teacher on duty for each of the activities.
Sports 3: Hiking
Hiking (远足) will take place at Kowloon Peak. The activity will start at 2:30 pm and finish 90 minutes
later. Three teachers will accompany the students, and a hiking instructor will accompany each group of 15
hikers. Each instructor will cost ＄75/hr. Students are advised to bring plenty of water and sunscreen.
Sports 4: Swimming
The Kowloon City Aquatic Centre is a 10-minute walk from our school. Four teachers will go to the pool
and conduct the goings-on from the poolside. We will only be able to reserve the pool for one hour (i.e. 2:45pm
to 3:45pm). Only students skilful at swimming can take up this activity. The pool will have two lifeguards
present. Girls must wear a swimming suit. The cost is ＄10 per visit. |
