Salient points

1. The successful applicant may be given a choice of the following two allocation options for the vacant school premises/school site, i.e. (I) to sign a Tenancy Agreement and pay nominal rent* for use of the existing school building without demolition; or (II) to be granted the site and the structures thereon at nominal premium* by signing a Private Treaty Grant, then demolish the existing structures and re-construct a new school building.  The ultimate manner of allocation is subject to the Government’s discretion. 
   
   
2. The successful applicant is required to allocate at least 70% of the school places to non-local students.  For existing international schools who applied for expansion through this School Allocation Exercise, the said student mix requirement would be applied to the entire school (i.e. all existing campus(es) as well as the new campus allocated in this exercise).
   
   * The offer of nominal rent or premium is subject to the future school sponsoring body possessing relevant tax-exemption status and incorporation status, as well as the Government’s prevailing policy.  The Government reserves all right on offer or not any nominal rent or premium.
