News & Events:

• PGC’s church-wide Fire Drill will take place today 12:30-13:30. Congregants are strongly encouraged to participate in order to get familiar with the emergency operation.  To ensure the Drill will be carried out smoothly under a safe environment, no traffic in PCA school campus will be allowed after 12:15 today until completion of the drill.  As a kind reminder of PCA Fire Exit Notice:

(a) use of any closest Fire exits on emergency as a rule of thumb

(b) There will be 2 EAPs (Evacuation Assembly Point).  One at the Open Area near Playground at the back of school.  The other one in the front by the roadside

(c) Upon Evacuation, NO parents should go to children area to find their children to avoid panic, delay or loss of children
