During the Tsing Ming holidays a number of scouts were involved in a motor-bus collision, on the Castle Peak Road, while proceeding to camp at Un Long. Three were injured one fatally. The accident, which cast a gloom over scouting, evoked world-wide sympathy. A special letter of commendation, addressed to Scout Master Kong, for devotion to duty and endurance under great trial and distress, was received from the Chief Scout, Sir Robert Baden Powell.
On the whole, the health of the school has been good: two cases of Diphtheria occurred-one amongst the Staff. Numerous minor cases
were treated at the Western Dispensary, the Government Civil and the Ho Miu Ling Hospitals.
The school continues to serve as the "Practising School" for the University.
During the year a Scholarship, to be called the "Chan Shek Shan Scholarship" and available in Class 3 from the end of 1925, was endowed by the late Mr. Chan Shek Shan.
