Please ensure students are collected promptly after school.

Lessons

Students have a ‘homeroom’ teacher who delivers most of the class lessons (Maths, Language, Unit of Inquiry – See the Learning at QBS page for more curriculum information).
In addition, students have daily Mandarin lessons, one PE, and one Expressive Art lesson per week. These lessons are taken by specialist teachers.
Students also visit the Learning Centre once per week to borrow books and may have lessons with the Teacher Librarian as part of their Unit of Inquiry.
ICT is used as a tool for learning and teaching, where appropriate, in all curriculum areas. The specialist ICT teacher will deliver lessons alongside the class teacher as needed.

Snack/Lunch

Students bring their own snacks to school.
Snack and lunch are eaten in the classrooms.
Quarry Bay School promotes ‘healthy’ eating as part of a balanced lifestyle. We would also prefer students minimise waste by using reusable containers.
Please remember that QBS is a nut-free school and is respectful of food allergies for some children.
Please check with your class teachers before supplying birthday cupcakes in case of dietary intolerance.
Lunches can be brought to school in a named container.
Since September 2023, QBS has been working with an external provider, Zebratasty. The lunch boxes are prepared off-site daily and delivered to classrooms before lunchtime. You do not need to order every day to enjoy this service.
If you would like to enrol in the Hot Food Lunch Service, please register and order online directly with Zebratasty by following the link https://zebratasty.h1.hotlunchonline.net/. Please contact Zebratasty directly by phone (T: 3565 4120) or by email (schoolmeal@zebratasty.com) should you have any question or further request.

Uniform

QBS uniform can be ordered directly from www.schooluniform.hk
Quarry Bay School students proudly wear their uniform. This is an expectation.

It is always pleasing to see the students so well presented in their uniform as it fosters an ethos of high standards in our school community.
