Annual PTA Membership & Other Details for 2018-2019

Dear Parents,

Welcome, once again, to the 2018/2019 PTA Online Ordering System.  Please follow the steps below to place your child(ren)’s order – please note this order relates to the academic year your child is going into in August 2018, NOT the current academic year.

STEP 1 – LOGIN TO THE PTA ONLINE SHOP via the following school website: wis.edu.hk, click on the round pink PTA icon, located on the front page, on the same line as “STRENGTH FROM DIVERSITY”.  If you have forgotten your login details click on Forgotten Password/Family ID under the LOGIN section of the Online Shop and submit your email address.  New details will be emailed to you.

STEP 2 – PROCESS YOUR PTA MEMBERSHIP by clicking on the PTA fees icon and add to cart before proceeding with your order(s).  Under the ESF Ordinance, all families must be members of the WIS PTA.  Membership is per family and payable annually. The current fee remains at $450.

Please tick the box regarding the school directory if you do NOT want your details to be included.

STEP 3 – PLACE YOUR STATIONERY AND UNIFORM ORDERS
Once you have added the PTA Membership fee to the ‘cart’ you can proceed with the ordering of stationery and uniform.  If you have more than one child at the school, you can place all the orders together.  Once you have completed your order, press the submit button.

STEP 4 – SUBMISSION PROCEDURE.  Once you have submitted your order, print off the confirmation and submit this together with your cheque, made payable to WIS PTA LTD, as soon as possible to:  PTA Office, West Island School, 250 Victoria Road, Pokfulam, Hong Kong.

ORDERS WILL ONLY BE PROCESSED ONCE PAYMENT HAS BEEN RECEIVED.

STEP 5 – BUS APPLICATION.   This must be separate from PTA Fees/Stationery & Uniform Orders.  A new bus pass is required for the start of each academic year.   Please ensure you enclose a up to date PASSPORT SIZED PHOTO and a stamped, self-addressed envelope with your application form and payment cheque(s).

Please be reminded that a NEW BUS PASS is required for the start of the new term in August.  Passes are processed on a first come first served basis, seats cannot be reserved/guaranteed.  Even if you have placed your application online, if payment has not been received you can still lose your seat on the bus.  There are a number of buses that fill up quickly.

You can check if payment has been received by logging on and looking under the ”History” section of your account.

STEP 6 – COLLECTION OF ORDERS:
If you wish to collect your order prior to the summer holiday the deadline for RECEIPT OF PAYMENT is WEDNESDAY 13 JUNE. You / your child can then collect on the 25 – 27 JUNE. (9am – 3.00pm)

All orders made after this deadline and before Tuesday, 7 August 2018 can be collected prior to the start of term on Saturday 11 August from 10am – 4pm and Monday 13 August from 9am – 4pm.

The PTA Shop will be open during the first week of school for collection of online orders ONLY.  Please allow 3 days between submission of the order and collection, for packing by our volunteers.

If you have any problems with processing your orders via the online shop, please do not hesitate to contact the PTA office on pta@wis.edu.hk.

Please note the PTA Shop  will be closed on 28 and 29 June for stocktaking. The last day for walk-in sales in the PTA shop is Wednesday 27 June.  It will re-open on Saturday 11 August for the collection of online orders.

We hope you all have a wonderful summer break.

Yours faithfully,

PTA Team
Yvonne Brown (Stationery), Jen Lai (Uniform), Anne Mason (Buses), Melissa Fitzgerald  (Administration)
