Students will need to be fully vaccinated to attend ASAs during the school week. In line with EDB guidelines, please see below how a student can be classified as being fully vaccinated with 2 doses:

• Received 2 doses + 14 days have passed since day of 2nd dose = classed as fully vaccinated with 2 doses.

• Received 1st dose at least 14 days before Covid infection + full recovery from Covid = classed as fully vaccinated with 2 doses. 

• Received 1st dose 30 days after full recovery from Covid = classed as fully vaccinated with 2 doses.

For weekend activities that take place in the gym, swimming pool, or the field, the vaccine pass applies, and those 12 and above will need to be vaccinated in order to access campus. Those under 12 are exempt from the vaccine pass. 

Those participating in all other weekend activities do not require vaccination, as long as they are not full-day activities. 

Please check out the HKIS Central website, where the most updated information is shared with the community.

No. Unfortunately, the EDB does not allow any exemptions from their fully vaccinated requirements even for those medically exempt.

Yes, at LCSD Venues there are no Vaccine Requirements for Children 11 years and below and for those 12 to 18 years, while double vaccination is required, there is no 14 day rule and medical exemption is taken into account.

The rules relating to School Activities are decided by the EDB (Education Bureau) while the rules for the LSCD Venues are decided by the HAB (Home Affairs Bureau). None of the rules are decided by HKIS; we are just obliged to follow them.
