All students must have a school-registered Personalised Octopus Card. This is used for registering daily attendance, which is essential for health and safety. Students must swipe-in to register their arrival time on campus. If a student leaves campus during the day and then returns, they should swipe-in again upon their return. Students who leave campus during the school day MUST go to Reception for the sign-out process. Year 12 and Year 13 students may use their Exit Pass.

Students can apply at any MTR branch office for a Personalised Octopus Card. Application forms can be downloaded at this link:
