The athletic side of the school has been developed and both boys and girls now play and enjoy the games commonly played in Home Schools. Swimming continues to be very popular; with one or two exceptions all the pupils swim,—and swim well.
The Boxing classes are well attended and the boys are developing considerable skill.
Kowloon School, Junior.—The Maximum Enrolment was 106. The Average Attendance was 54.
The circumstances under which this school was opened have already been detailed in the Report on the Kowloon School.
The Average Attendance, as compared with the Enrolment, is low but may be explained by the fact that all the pupils are of very tender age, and cannot attend on days when the weather is not good.
The Medical Officer reports that the health of the children is satisfactory.
The school is now well equipped and progressing satisfactorily.
Peak School. The Maximum Enrolment was 60 (62 in 1920).
The Average Attendance was 52 (39 in 1920).
The attendance, usually unsatisfactory, has been better except during the months of May and June.
The school work shews some improvement.
Drawing, French and Physical Training are important features. Practically all the girls in attendance belong to the Brownies or Girl Guides.
A Committee of the Board of Education visited the school in November; the following is extracted from their Report:
"Impressions generally pleasing were received throughout inspection, especially in the attention given to discipline, order and physical drill.
There has been further improvement in the regular attendance of pupils."
Belilios Public School for Girls.—The Maximum Enrolment was 558 (577 in 1920).
The Average Attendance was 521 (508 in 1920).
A Normal School has been opened to train women as Vernacular Teachers, a two years' course being given. There were twenty-six applicants for the twenty seats in the Class on its formation. Practical teaching forms an important part of the course and criticism lessons are given regularly. The Training given is already proving to be of value.
