77. Apart from the regular bi-weekly extra-curricular activities held in the school, two excursions were organized to the New Territories- Sha Tin and Tai Po. The Boy Scout Group sponsored by the School participated in the Hong Kong Golden Jubilee Jamborette held in December 1961. Gardening continued to be a subject of keen interest to pupils of the upper classes. They managed, with success, to handle in their spare time a vegetable and flower garden of over twenty thousand square feet in area. The result of their work has considerably brightened the atmosphere of the School.
78. Free tuition lessons were regularly given after school hours to backward children. A quiet room for self-study was provided for those pupils whose home environment was not suitable for study. Teachers are to be thanked for this extra work.
79. Generally speaking, the health of the pupils has been improving. Judging from the record of attendance, there was a drop in sick leave. During the year, arrangements were made with the Medical Authorities to give our pupils anti-cholera inoculations and inoculations against diphtheria.
80. Canteen Facilities. The Club's Canteen continues to provide cheap meals for the lower paid staff and to handle the catering of large parties for Club members.
81. Other Social Activities. A picnic to Wu Kwai Sha was held in April 1961 and another picnic to Tai Po was held in November 1961. Both were organized by the Club and were thoroughly enjoyed by the members and their families.
