66. Education. The Railway Club School, which had its 15th anniversary on 25th February, 1968, continued to function successfully with 278 pupils in seven classes ranging from Junior 1 to Special Form 1. The enthusiasm of the teaching staff of nine, including the Headmaster, contributed greatly to the success of the school.
The pupils' attendance was good, with an average of 99.10%. Of the twenty-one candidates who took part in the Secondary School Entrance Examination in May, 1968, eighteen obtained passes in all subjects. Ten pupils gained Government-allocated places in Secondary Schools.
The general health of the pupils was satisfactory. Vaccinations and inoculations against epidemic diseases were regularly given to them by arrangement with the Medical and Health Department.
67. Canteen Facilities. The Club's canteen at Hung Hom and the Railway Workshops' Canteen at Ho Tung Lau provided inexpensive meals for lower paid staff and catered for large parties of Railway Staff.
