SED officiates at opening ceremony of new school premises of Tai Po Baptist Public School     
     Dr Choi said that the relocation of TPBPS to its new premises at Fu Shin Estate is not merely a change of location, but also a significant moment for all teachers and students to reunite and embark on a new page together. The new school premises not only represent a safe, stable and conducive learning environment created through the collaborative efforts of all parties for teachers and students, but also embody the professionalism and perseverance of the principal and staff, the efforts of the students, and the support of parents, fellow schools and the wider community.

     To ensure that TPBPS can operate in the new premises at Fu Shin Estate as scheduled in the new school year, the Education Bureau (EDB) proactively took forward the renovation works, and the premises were delivered in accordance with the standards applicable to new school premises, with a view to meeting the school’s needs. The works included refurbishment of the external walls, classrooms, toilets and the assembly hall, resurfacing of the ball court, and replacement of electrical units, air-conditioning units and the lift, among other items. The total estimated cost of the aforesaid works and the subsidy for the school to procure additional furniture and equipment (including network and communication facilities) is about $43.6 million. In addition, the EDB has set aside a one-off grant of $1 million for TPBPS to meet expenses related to its relocation to the new premises at Fu Shin Estate for supporting the school’s smooth relocation to the new school premises.Issued at HKT 11:30
