Find school open house information on the school’s own website. Start with MOE SchoolFinder to identify the correct school, then follow its official website link and look for “Open House”, “Admissions” or “Announcements”. For secondary schools, the Schoolbag open-house listing is another useful starting point; confirm the final arrangements with the school.
Before putting a date into the family calendar, check the event year, start and end times, location, whether the session is physical or virtual, and whether registration is required. An old open-house page can still appear in search results. If the current invitation is unclear, contact the school through the details on its official website.
Did you know the best visit question is often a very ordinary one: “What would a normal week look like for my child here?” Bring questions about subjects, learning support, CCAs and the journey from home. An open house helps you understand a school; attendance itself should not be treated as an admission advantage unless the official admission rules expressly say so.

Turn the visit into a useful comparison
Choose two or three schools to understand properly before filling every weekend. Write the same short questions for each visit so you can compare the answers fairly. A lively performance may be memorable, but the everyday routine matters more when your child will attend for several years.
Ask what happens when a student needs a concept explained again, how parents receive updates, and how the school helps new students settle. For a primary-school visit, ask about the transition into Primary 1. For a secondary-school visit, ask how subject offerings and learning support work for the incoming cohort.
For secondary decisions, keep posting groups and subject levels separate. Ask about the school’s actual arrangements rather than assuming a posting group determines every subject. The subject-combination guide can help with the next questions.
During the visit, let your child ask one question too. Afterwards, invite a concrete answer: which lesson, space or activity could they imagine using? “It looked nice” is a beginning; “I could ask for help there” tells you more.
Your next step
Open the official event page and save its registration confirmation if one is required. Record the event year alongside the date, then check the page again before travelling. If you cannot attend, ask whether the school has a current prospectus, virtual tour or another way to answer your questions.
