Weekday ASAs - Repulse Bay
Registration for ASAs held in Repulse Bay, Monday to Friday will be offered through the SchoolsBuddy platform, using a preference-based registration process.
The Activities Brochure will be updated 2 weeks before the registration opening date. Preference-based registration opens on December 2, there is no rush to be the first one logged in. The registration period allows you one week to select your child's preferred ASA programs. Once the registration period closes, an automated allocation system will evenly assign classes based on student preferences. You will receive an email notification of your child’s allocated ASA on December 10.
To accept your allocated ASA
You must complete the payment process before December 31. You can make payments through the SchoolsBuddy platform for the HKIS-operated programs (soccer, swimming, and basketball). The third-party providers will email you directly to arrange payments for all other ASAs.
If you plan to drop an ASA
Please email the provider directly so they can release the space for other students to register through the “join request” function on SchoolsBuddy.
Students will also be removed from an ASA if payments are not finalized before December 31.
Late Opportunities
As parents finalize class schedules, some places may become available in programs. These will be reflected in the SchoolsBuddy system and join requests can be made by parents. These will open between Jan 7-10.

Terms & Conditions
Most of our activities are run by Third Party Providers, who have their own Terms & Conditions for registration. Please remember to carefully read through these before you register your preferences for an activity. Even though you are selecting programs through the SchoolsBuddy platform you are agreeing to engage in a third-party program on their published T&C’s and you will make payments directly with these external companies once the process is completed.
