71. Sports. During the year the Club entered a team in the miniature football competition organized by the Hong Kong Chinese Civil Servants Association. The Club were the runners-up in this competition.
72. Education. During the year under review the Railway Club School continued to function successfully with seven classes of forty pupils each, as in the previous year. The pupils' attendance was good with an average of 98.2%, and their progress in studies was very satisfactory. All the sixteen candidates permitted to sit for the 1959 Joint Primary 6 Examination passed every subject required in the examination, while eight did particularly well and were allotted places in secondary schools by the Education Department. In view of the good result of 100% passes and 50% credits the Education Department have specially allowed the school to send two additional candidates to sit for the 1960 Joint Primary 6 Examination.
73. In order to provide an all-round education for the pupils, extra- curricular activities have been regularly held throughout the year. They were classified under the divisions of moral, academic, art and dramatic, recreational and excursions. Gardening continues to be a subject of interest for the older pupils. With a view to improving the academic standard of the pupils, extra free tuition lessons were held after school hours for backward students and for the senior classes from the begin- ning of the school session. The school staff are to be commended for their painstaking efforts and unfailing co-operation.
74. Canteen Facilities. The Club's Canteen continues to provide cheap meals for the lower paid staff and to handle the catering of large parties for Club members.
75. Other Social Activities. A party organized by the Club for the children of Club members and the students of the Railway Club School was held on 24th December, 1959. Some 700 children attended this party. A very entertaining programme of short plays and songs was put on by the students and a magic show by famous local magicians was provided by the Club. Food, soft drinks and toys were distributed to the children during a break in the performance.
