Kowloon Junior School. The maximum enrolment was 107 and the average attendance 82. Miss M. Cooper, B.A. was Head Mistress throughout the year. This school presented pupils for the Royal Drawing Society Preparatory Examination, and the results were excellent. All 13 entrants passed, 12 with honours, while one pupil was awarded a special prize and an illustration by another pupil was included in the Society's Annual publication of reproductions.
23 scholars from the school were promoted to the Central British School.
Victoria British School.-The maximum enrolment was 41 and the average attendance 30. These numbers were affected by a slight epidemic of small pox at the beginning of the year. The work and discipline were good.
Instruction in drill and games is given by a visiting Gymnastic Mistress, and the Hall has been equipped with regulation "wall-bars".
The maximum enrolment at the Peak School was 65 and the average attendance 49. The discipline and progress of the pupils were very satisfactory.
The figures for Quarry Bay School were almost identical with those for Victoria British School-maximum enrolment 42, and average attendance 31. A high standard of work in all subjects has been maintained, and, as in the other British Schools, the Examinations of the Royal Drawing Society are taken.
The school Garden continues to prosper, and the First Annual School Sports were held informally in February, 1930.
2. GOVERNMENT SCHOOLS-GAMES.
Owing to the continued shortage of suitable playing fields, the most popular games are those which can be successfully organised on school premises, viz. volley-ball, basket-ball and ping-pong. Football, however, is played by the pupils of most schools on public Recreation Grounds, several schools holding Inter-Class Competitions.
By courtesy of the Honourable Director of Public Works 4 schools, namely, King's College, Ellis Kadoorie School, Wantsai School and the Indian School, were granted free use of the Government Bathing Beaches during the summer months.
King's College, in addition, organised Aquatic Sports in its own swimming pond.
Lawn Tennis is played by the two senior Anglo-Chinese Schools-Queen's College on its own ground at Causeway Bay, and King's College in the school play-ground.
