University Fair hosted by Canadian International School of Hong Kong (CDNIS) on 8th March 2024

Dear Parents of Year 12 Students,

Canadian International School of Hong Kong (CDNIS) will be hosting a university fair on Friday 8th March 2024, from 4 pm to 6.45 pm.

This event is open to the public, and to support our Year 12 students who are interested in attending the fair we are planning to arrange a school bus to take the students there.

The participating students will leave DBIS at 3.15 pm on the date of the event. At the end of the fair, the students will depart from CDNIS on their own. Students can choose to take the complimentary shuttle offered by CDNIS, with prior registration required. Please note that DBIS will not be responsible for the participating students once they arrive at the fair. 

To register for the school bus departing from DBIS for the university fair at CDNIS, please complete and submit this jotform by Wednesday 28th February 2024. Please also understand that we will only be running a bus from DBIS if we have enough participating students signed up for it.
