presented, of whom 5 matriculated, 3 passed the Senior Local Examination, and 6 passed the Junior,—a total of 56% passed. In the Matriculation Examination, 1 candidate gained "distinction" in English and Botany, and 1 Junior candidate was awarded "distinction" in English.
Drawing is particularly good throughout the School; the results of an examination held under the auspices of the Royal Drawing Society were distinctly above the average.
The Pupils assisted as usual at the Annual Sale of Work in connexion with the Ministering Children's League, and on Armistice Day. The girls of Classes 3 and 4 also raised a sum of £24 in aid of the London Hospital.
During the troublous period of the year many of the senior boys joined the St. John Ambulance Brigade and did very useful work, while others were employed at the General Post Office and in other offices in the Colony.
Games and Sports are in a flourishing condition, swimming being especially popular. There is a very efficient Troop of Girl Guides under the command of Miss Owen Hughes and Miss Holyoak.
Victoria British School.—The Maximum Enrolment was 50 (70 in 1924).
The Average Attendance was 25 (30 in 1924).
A modified "Dalton Method" was adopted in Classes 6 and 7, but later in the year it was found advisable to return to Class Teaching.
Work done is generally satisfactory but Arithmetic calls for improvement.
The Medical Officer reported "Eyesight and Hearing very good." During the year several pupils were absent suffering from malarial fever.
Kowloon Junior School.—The Maximum Enrolment was 104 (83 in 1924).
The Average Attendance was 70 (59 in 1924).
Handwriting throughout the school calls for attention. Arithmetic and Composition are good.
Drawing is very good.
Peak School.—The Maximum Enrolment was 56 (62 in 1924).
