LADY WILSON OPENS NEW SCHOOL BUILDING
THE OPENING OF A NEW BUILDING AT THE LUTHERAN SCHOOL FOR THE DEAF STANDS AS AN EXAMPLE OF HOW MUCH CARING THERE IS IN HONG KONG, LADY WILSON SAID TODAY (WEDNESDAY).
SPEAKING AT THE DEDICATION OF THE FIRST-EVER PURPOSE-BUILT BUILDING OF THE SCHOOL, LADY WILSON SAID THE PROJECT REPRESENTED A GREAT DEAL OF DEDICATION, GENEROSITY AND HARD WORK OF MANY PEOPLE INVOLVED.
CLEARLY THE REPROVISIONED BUILDING WOULD FACILITATE TEACHING, ENCOURAGE THE PUPILS, AND LEAD THE SCHOOL INTO THE 1990S, SHE SAID.
LOOKING BACK, LADY WILSON NOTED THAT WHEN THE LUTHERAN SCHOOL FOR THE DEAF BEGAN ITS WORK IN 1968, THERE WERE ONLY EIGHT CHILDREN AND ONE TEACHER, OPERATING OUT OF RENTED ACCOMMODATION.
"TWENTY-THREE YEARS LATER, THE SCHOOL PROVIDES EDUCATION FOR OVER 200 HEARING-IMPAIRED CHILDREN RANGING FROM PREPARATORY TO SENIOR SECONDARY LEVEL.
"THERE ARE NOW ROOMS FOR HOME MANAGEMENT, TYPING AND COMPUTER STUDIES, ARTS AND CRAFTS AND SCIENCE, SHE SAID.
C
PUPILS WHO HAD REACHED SECONDARY 5 LEVEL WERE ALSO ENCOURAGED TO SIT FOR THE HONG KONG CERTIFICATE OF FDUCATION EXAMINATION IN SUCH SUBJECTS AS CHINESE, ENGLISH, MATHEMATICS, ART, TYPING AND COMPUTERS STUDIES IN ORDER TO BETTER EQUIP THEMSELVES FOR EMPLOYMENT OR FURTHER EDUCATION, SHE ADDED.
THANKING ALL THOSE WHO HAD TAUGHT IN THE LUTHERAN SCHOOL FOR THE DEAF, LADY WILSON SAID GRADUATES FROM THE SCHOOL WOULD LOOK BACK IN GRATITUDE AND APPRECIATION FOR THE EDUCATION THEY HAD RECEIVED THERE.
