After School Activities Guide for Expats:

The majority of schools in Hong Kong offer full extra-curricular activities which include music, sports, languages and arts and crafts. These extra-curricular activities are generally not included in the instruction fees and command additional charges. Moreover these extra-curricular activities are limited to the students of the school concerned and are not open to outsiders. However, Hong Kong is equipped with numerous organizations which conduct a wide array of extra-curricular activities for children, as both local and expat mum are quite determined that their children have a chance at well-rounded development by way of these extra-curricular activities.
