Registration Essentials - Tai Tam ASAs

All weekend ASAs and weekday ASAs in Tai Tam

The information below will help you enroll your child into one of our After School Activities (ASA) programs held Monday to Sunday in Tai Tam, and our weekend ASAs in Repulse Bay, including the popular Saturday Learn-to-swim program.

Step Registration Instructions

The SchoolsBuddy platform is used for Signup of HKIS activities. Families are required to activate their SchoolsBuddy account prior to registration day and become familiar with the platform. SchoolsBuddy accounts are provisioned using the personal guardian contact email addresses registered in PowerSchool. Do not use the @hkis.edu.hk account to attempt to login SchoolsBuddy. For help setting up an account contact help@hkis.edu.hk.

Preference-Based Signup is being used this term for the first time and sign-up/selections open on Aug 1 at 12 noon. Sign-ups finish on Aug 7 at 12 noon. Your confirmed allocations will be sent via email through SchoolsBuddy on Aug 8 at 4 pm.

Important: Preference-Based Signup is different from Instant Booking Signup that was used in previous years. The major differences are:

• Signups will be open for one week from Aug 1 at 12 noon to Aug 7 at 4 pm. Regardless of what hour or day you submit your selection, your child will be allocated to the group(s) of your preference based on an algorithm using these preferences.
• Everyone will have 5 choices across a week, with number 1 as the highest. Your child's chances of getting into a specific group increase if you use preference #1. See more info below.
• Selections, submissions can be modified an unlimited number of times within the signup period.
• There is no need to pay during signup. You will be asked to pay later once your child is confirmed.
• There is no signup for waiting lists.

The major similarities of Preference-Based and Instant Booking signup are:

• The same platform, login, interface, and payment system* (Payments are completed via SchoolsBuddy for Aquatics, Soccer, and Basketball. For other ASA, parents will need to settle payment with the 3rd party providers directly.)
• Due to the popularity of the program, not everyone will get a place in a group

Weekday Activities - Tai Tam

The ASAs offered at Tai Tam during the week are primarily to serve students on that campus, or Lower or Upper primary students who live in the area. However, we understand that some students may make a bus change request to attend these classes. It is important that students are met at the designated bus stop so they can be safely directed to their activity. The 3:00 pm bus change requests are made directly with the Repulse Bay Bus Coordinator and operate outside the Activities Office system. Please make sure to use the published program dates for any bus change requests.
