Residents of Saddle Ridge Garden had, in the past, raised strong objections to the building of a new practical school at the school site in question.
The Education Department consulted the Sha Tin District Board and, having secured their support, further arranged a visit on January 9 for residents to two existing practical schools and distributed pamphlets to residents to enhance their understanding of this type of school.
The department will reply to residents to explain its position regarding residents' request.

Tuen Mun Road to re-open fully
A section of the New Territories-bound carriageway of Tuen Mun Road at Sam Shing Hui will resume three-lane traffic from 6 am on Tuesday (February 6), a spokesman for the Transport Department announced today (Sunday).
With the re-opening of this section, Tuen Mun Road will be re-opened fully to three-lane traffic in both directions.
The spokesman said: "The existing speed limit of 50 kilometres per hour and temporarily-reduced lane width for this section will remain unchanged until February 16 to allow time for re-painting of road markings and other re-instatement works.
"Therefore, motorists should drive with care and patience on this section of Tuen Mun Road."
Kowloon Motor Bus Route 60P serving Tuen Mun Town Centre and Sheung Shui KCR Station, which was specially introduced to help commuters during the lane closure period, will also be cancelled from Tuesday.
