PARENTS of Primary 6 pupils often face a tough time when it comes to picking the right secondary school for their children.
But the children themselves also feel a bit apprehensive and worried as they are unfamiliar with secondary school life.
To help dispel their fears, pupils and parents were offered a valuable opportunity to experience secondary school life early this week.
About 140 pupils from 24 primary schools in Tai Po and their parents took part in a special event called ''Law Ting Pong Secondary School Experience Day''.
The event was the first to be organised by the Tai Po-based new school.
According to headmistress Mrs Emily Ma Fung Wai-yung, there was an underlying reason for organising the event. ''When we moved to the district in January 1992, we wanted parents to know more about the school,'' Mrs Emily Ma said.
