Heung To Middle School Branch in Tse Wan Shan
On 17th October 1971 LI Shut-lung, Headmaster of the Heung To
Middle School announced to teaching staff that a new branch school would
open in Tey Wan Shan on 1st November 1971.
Special Branch enquiries
ascertained that the new school would be sited in an existing school
building on New Kowloon Inland Lot 2690 Sections A and E. Adjacent to
the school building on this Lot was a site already cleared for construction.
Further enquiries revealed that the premises had originally been those of
the Chi Wan School but that this school had ceased operation some time
previously.

Land Office records were checked and showed that N.K.I.L. 2690
had been purchased by the ROA Kwong Investment Co. Ltd. in April 1970.
The ROA Kwong Investment Co. is a small company set up in August 1969, the
director or the company and majority shareholder is TSANG Kam-cheung,
General Affairs Officer of the Heung To Middle School. Other major
shareholders are also staff of the Heung To, including the headmaster and
assistant headmaster. This land has, therefore, to all intents and
purposes been the property of the Heung To since April 1970. In December
1970 the ROA Kwong Investment Co. asked the Crown Land and Survey Office
if the lease on N.K.I.L. 2690 could be modified to allow the construction
of a six storey school building. In April 1971, prior to its suspension
of operation, the Chi Wan School sought and received permission from
Education Department to build a six storey new school building with modern
facilities. It is believed that it is this six storey building that will
be constructed on the cleared site adjacent to the existing school building.
It was not until August 1971, having received permission from Education
Department, that Chi Wan School announced that they were suspending opera-
tion and that the landlord I.3. the HOA Kwong Investment Co. would repossess
the premises.
