The decrease in numbers is due to severe tests in English being given to the entrants and to the closing down of one class. At the Annual Examination 78% of the upper school were promoted while in the lower school 92% passed.
26. At the Examination held by the Hong Kong University, nine were presented for Matriculation. All failed to pass, but two were awarded Senior Local Certificates.
