Hi there,

If I have not misread the circular (which I have received three times, two printed, one email), phase I appeared to be funded by the Government.

Best Regards,
Thomas

Here is some more information for you guys.

The project is broken down into 3 phases. Phase 1 is the development of a 4-storey building on the upper car park and the music room, this phase is wholly (or mostly if not wholly) funded by the government and I believe a $39 million fund has already been granted (or at least approved). Phase 2 is the additon of one extra floor on top of this new building and is to be funded by the school (meaning the old boys). From a planning point of view, these 2 phases are not separable, meaning that when we do the first phase the second must be in mind already. Given that a Stephen Yow has already donated $5 million, the remaining should just be a piece of cake. These 2 phases combined is what I referred to as the first phase in my previous postings.

The final phase (or the 3rd phase) is the tearing down of the existing school hall and the building of a multi-purpose building comprising an elevated school hall, 2 floors of classrooms on top of it (and some more carpark spaces underneath it, if I remember correctly). And this is where the bigger chunk of money is needed.

So, San Tsai, to make the long answer short, yes, phase 1 is definitely going ahead along with phase 2. Phase 3, it depends.
