The School continues to make progress.
The building has been improved; two Class rooms have been enlarged and a new lavatory built.
Belilios Public School for Girls.--The Maximum Enrolment was 653 (558 in 1921).
The Average Attendance was 589 (521 in 1921).
The Head Mistress in her Report states that “the year has been uneventful",--it has been, in fact, a year of very successful hard work.
Extracts from the Report are given below,--
The School is full, many girls being refused admission at the beginning of each term.
Changes in the Staff have been fewer than usual.
The strike of servants affected the School as a whole but little, except on the first day, and even then attendance was 478. During that troubled week, lunch was cooked at School for servantless members of the Staff, and our gratitude to the volunteer cooks was very real. Two of the Staff (Members of the Nursing Division) answered an appeal from the Victoria Hospital, and cooked dinner for the Nursing Staff and patients.
In the Local Examinations of the Hongkong University six girls passed the Senior, four gaining Distinction in Needlework, and one Distinction in English. In the Junior, six girls passed, two with Distinction in Needlework, and one with Distinction in English.
The Nursing Division has had a course of lectures in First Aid, and all the eleven candidates passed the examination. Mrs. Hickling was kind enough to lecture, Dr. Thomas to examine. The Division was inspected by Sir Eric Stuart Taylor in November.
The senior Classes went to a matinee of "The Tempest", and saw the film "The Three Musketeers" at the Coronet. These visions of bygone ages are very helpful in increasing historical knowledge: they were certainly very enjoyable.
The health of the School has been good,
I am glad to say that the school is as keen as ever on giving help to those in need; among other "good works" the girls support two cots for sick children, (one in the Nethersole Hospital and one in a London Hospital) and raised the sum of $1,307 at the Ministering Children's League Bazaar.
