Come and meet the PCLS admin team this Sunday, 11/10 at 2:50 pm in the cafeteria.  We’ll give an overview of the school operation and the events we have planned for this school year. If you are new to the school, there’ll be a lot of useful information and you’ll have a chance to ask questions.

We will play a game of bingo in the meeting to get to know each other. All participants will receive PCLS goodies and winner of the bingo can choose from one of these prizes: Ding Tai Fung mug 鼎泰豐Q版小籠包馬克杯 or Sky lantern necklace 天燈項鍊
