A NEW SCHOOL WITH A NEW MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE AND FOR STAFF TO BE

APPOINTED IN TIME FOR THE OPENING OF THE NEW SCHOOL IN SEPTEMBER.

THE EDUCATION ORDINANCE, IT WAS PUT TO HE BISHOP FOR HIS CONSIDERATION THAT THE EXISTING MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE SHOULD BE

ENLARGED BY INCLUDING PERSONS RECOMMENDED BY THE BISHOP AND THE

EXISTING MANAGERS. THIS ENLARGED MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE COULD DEAL

WITH TEACHERS CONTRACTS, MATTERS RELATING TO THE CHANGE IN

SPONSORSHIP, AND THE NAMING OF THE NEW SCHOOL BEFORE 31 MAY 1978.

OF THE CHANGES SHOULD BE MADE IN EARLY MAY.

TEACHERS CONTRACTS, BISHOP WU AND THE MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE OF THE

PRECIOUS BLOOD GOLDEN JUBILEE SECONDARY SCHOOL AGREED TO ASK THE

DIRECTOR OF EDUCATION TO ENLARGE THE MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE BY
