Invitation to stand for election of
Parent Manager and Standing Committee Ordinary Member

Dear Parents,

        It’s time for the PTA of HKUGAC to hold their 3rd Annual General Meeting (“AGM”). 

On 15th May 2010 when the 3rd AGM is scheduled to take place, the Chairman of PTA will deliver his Annual Report and the Income/ Expenditure Account for the past year will be reviewed.

        Another important agenda item for the 3rd AGM is to re-elect Standing Ordinary Committee Members and Parent Managers who will complete their year/s of office on 15th May 2010:

• At least six (6) New Standing Ordinary Committee Members of PTA,
• One Parent Manager and one Alternate Parent Manager for the Incorporated Management Committee (“IMC”)

    The elected Parent Manager and Alternative Parent Manager will work closely with the IMC in terms of policy matters of the School.  Standing Committee Ordinary Members of PTA, on the other hand, will work closely with parents 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 the Parent Manager and PTA Standing Committee Ordinary Members.  Parents may choose to stand for the election of either or both posts.
Besides, the following important documents will be relevant concerning the election.  They will be posted on the School’s website for reference and review:

i.           Constitution Document for HKUGA PTA,
ii.          Role and responsibilities of the Parent Manager,
iii.         An extract of relevant sections of the Education Ordinance
iv.         Ethical code required in the Parent Manager Election

        Should parents wish to run for the election 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 2010 and 5:00 p.m. on 20th April 2010 after which the nomination period will be closed.

        Let’s join hands and work together for the immediate and longer-term benefit of our children.
I look forward to your participation.

Sydney Wong
