32. The first number of the School Magazine had a very enthusiastic reception.
33. Kowloon Junior School.—Head Mistress: Miss Cooper, B.A. The maximum enrolment was 111 (107 in 1930). The average attendance was 90 (82 in 1930). The health of the school and the work done during the year were satisfactory. Twenty-eight pupils left at the end of the year on promotion to the Central British School.
34. Victoria British School.—Miss Buckwell took over the duties of Head Mistress when Mrs. Clark went on leave in April. The maximum monthly enrolment was fifty-two and the average attendance thirty-six. Except for some cases of measles and chickenpox the health of the school was satisfactory. The work during the year was generally good.
35. Quarry Bay School. The maximum monthly enrolment was thirty-six, with an average attendance of twenty-five. This school maintains a high standard of work. A very successful sports meeting was held. The garden continues to flourish.
36. Peak School—Head Mistress, Mrs. P. Y. Stark. Maximum Monthly Enrolment was seventy-eight and the Average Attendance sixty-one. The school entered sixteen pupils for the Royal Drawing Society Examination and thirteen passed, four with honours. Work was very satisfactory and the discipline good.
GOVERNMENT SCHOOLS—GAMES.
37. The Recreation Grounds Committee this year placed at the disposal of the Director of Education two more playing fields—one at Caroline Hill and an additional one at King's Park. This has helped to reduce the shortage of recreation grounds, but the time is approaching when good playing fields should be provided in the Western outskirts of the city.
38. Football, cricket, hockey, tennis, volley-ball, basket-ball and hiking are freely indulged in all the schools. Each school has its annual Athletic Sports Meeting. Badminton is popular in two schools and ping-pong in nearly all. Quoits has lately been introduced in one school. Swimming is the great summer pastime. Hundreds daily find their way to North Point, Kennedy Town, Lai Chi Kok and King's College swimming bath. The percentage of children able to swim is steadily increasing and is most marked among the girls—some of whom now venture to swim across the harbour.
39. The gardens at Quarry Bay School and the Indian School continue to flourish. Horticulture and Arboriculture have been introduced to the new Un Long School.
