The School now consists only of Classes 6 (the lowest) to 1 (Matriculation). All pupils in Class 1 were presented for the Senior Local Examination of the Hongkong University, and all in Class 2 for the Junior Local Examination. The results were. Senior Local, 7 entered, all passed; Junior Local, 14 entered, 13 passed, one with Distinction.
The chief cause of the weakness in the Junior Class is undoubtedly undue promotion. This has been dealt with; promotion has been made more difficult and throughout the school pupils who, through irregular attendance or other cause, show themselves unable to maintain reasonable progress in their Class, are demoted. An improvement in work done is already apparent.
More attention is being given to Mathematics, and Algebra and Geometry are now commenced in Class 4.
Two new Class rooms have been added during the year.
The health of the pupils was very good.
Kowloon School, Junior,--The Maximum Enrolment was 67 (77 in 1921).
The Average Attendance was 53 (54 in 1921).
The Average Attendance as compared with the Enrolment, is very satisfactory, especially in view of the fact that the pupils are of tender age and cannot well attend on days when the weather is not good.
This School is the Preparatory Department of the Kowloon British School. The examination of pupils in the highest Class (Class 7) is conducted jointly by the Head of the two Schools mentioned, and on the results of this Examination pupils are promoted to the Senior School.
Special attention is devoted to Kindergarten work, and the latest approved methods are followed. The children are happy and interested and the results are very satisfactory.
The health of the school was very good. There were no cases of infectious diseases during the year.
Peak School.--The Maximum Enrolment was 70 (60 in 1921).
The Average Attendance was 50 (52 in 1921).
Attendance is unsatisfactory; pupils are frequently absent without reasonable cause.
