Is it definitely going ahead ? For the first phase (the one for the upper car park and the music room redevelopment) I would say yes, very much to my (and our) disappointment though. For the second phase (the new school hall), it will depend on how much money the school is getting from us.

And of course , the whole thing is in the hand of the management board and who are we to stand in the way of this historical moment of the school ? The PSA has a representative sitting on the board and I think the PSA has given the go ahead signal to the school already.

Hi there folks,

It had been quite a while. Concerning the redevelopment, some 10 years ago when i was in the PSA Council, Gordon Wu came up with a very ambitious redevelopment plan. If you folks recall that particular scale model his plan was to known down the whole school and even bulldoze Mount parish and build a brand new school on top of it. A new road could connect Kennedy Road and Stubbs Road.

Unfortunately (or better say fortunately) the Government didn't approve the 'new road' part and the PSA and school board could not find the fundings. I could still recall they have not decided how to deal with the load yield radioactive stuffs in the caves back then. I wonder whether they had been cleared by now.

Anyway, most HK merchants and government officials alike are short sighted. All they care are $$$ and $$$ and nothing else. They should be kicked back to school and take their history class. In my very biased opinion every good administrator should study history so they could learn from the past and then help shape the future.

Anyway, enough BS. I'll try to come more often. At least during the holidays.

Best Regards,
Thomas
