Invitation to stand for election of
Parent Managers and Standing Committee Ordinary Members

Dear Parents,

It’s time for the PTA of HKUGAC to hold our 4th Annual General Meeting (AGM).

On 28th May 2011 when the 4th AGM is scheduled to take place, the Chairlady of PTA will deliver her Annual Report and the Income/Expenditure Account for the past year will be reviewed.

Another important agenda item for the 4th AGM is to re-elect Standing Committee Ordinary Members and Parent Managers as follows:

• Six (6) New Standing Committee Ordinary Members of PTA, who will complete their term of office on 30th June 2013; and
• One Parent Manager and one Alternate Parent Manager for the Incorporated Management Committee (“IMC”) , who will complete their term of office on 20 September 2011

The elected Parent Manager and Alternative Parent Manager will work closely with the IMC in terms of policy matters of the School. The six newly elected Standing Committee Ordinary Members, on the other hand, will work closely with the existing Standing Committee Ordinary Members elected last year to support the school in its day-to-day business. In all these aspects, they work for the ultimate benefit of all the students of the School.

I would like to invite all parents to run for the above posts. I have enclosed herewith the Nomination Forms and Nomination Rules concerning Parent Managers and PTA Standing Committee Ordinary Members. Parents may choose to stand for election of either or both posts.

Besides, the following important documents concerning the election will be posted on the School website and the PTA website for reference and review:

1. Constitution of HKUGAC PTA
2. Role and responsibilities of the Parent Manager;
3. An extract of relevant sections of the Education Ordinance; and
4. Ethnical code required in the Parent Manager Election.

Should parents wish to run for either or both of the posts, please return the completed Candidate Statement(s) to the School’s General Office (Attn: Mr. Sydney Wong, the Election Supervisor) between 9:00 a.m. on 29th March 2011 and 5:00 p.m. on 14th April 2011 after which the nomination period will be closed.

Let’s join hands and work together for the immediate and longer-term benefit of our pupils.

I look forward to your participation.

Sincerely yours,
Sydney Wong
Election Supervisor
