#### Queen's College
The maximum enrolment was 673, and the average attendance 594, or 88%. This shows a falling off from 1929, and the low percentage inevitably militated against educational efficiency. As was the case last year, the incidence of sickness among the Staff was noticeably high.
Mr. A. H. Crook, O.B.E., M.A., the Headmaster, went on leave, pending retirement, in March, after over 27 years' connection with the school. His place was taken by Mr. F. J. de Rome, M.B.E., B.Sc., transferred from Headmastership of Ellis Kadoorie School. Messrs. L. B. Holmes, B.A. and R. H. Griffiths, B.A. joined the Staff during the year.
Out of 35 boys presented for the Matriculation Examination of the Hong Kong University, 10 passed and 2 obtained the Senior Local Certificate. One pupil was awarded a King Edward Scholarship tenable at the University. 81 boys sat for the Junior Local Examination and 28 passed.
#### King's College
The maximum enrolment was 944 and the average attendance 863.
7 Matriculation and 5 Senior Local Certificates were awarded by the Hong Kong University to boys in Class 1. A "King Edward" Scholarship was gained by one of these, who also obtained "Honours". 23 boys in Class 2 passed the Junior Local Examination.
The School Library continues its usefulness and has been increased by a number of additional volumes, some English and some Chinese. The hours, 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. daily, remain popular with parents, pupils, and staff.
News concerning past pupils includes the following Examination successes. Lo Tung Fan, Barrister, Gray's Inn, London; Tsui Pat Po, Ho Fook Medical Scholarship at Hong Kong University.
#### Ellis Kadoorie School
The maximum enrolment was 459 and the average attendance 411.
Mr. W. Kay, M.A. succeeded Mr. F. J. de Rome, B.Sc. as Headmaster when the latter was transferred to Queen's College in March.
