St. Thomas's Secondary School Revisited

Remember this famous road that we all used to go to school?
As you walk along it, look to your right and see the open football field with the Jubilee Hall beyond. And the double storey building directly in front of our vision housed the school office and the principal's quarter.







Looking up the hill on your left, see the building that housed the school library, the scout's den, the lower form six classrooms and the lecture theatre.







But if we proceed along the main road, we will come to the James Wong Kim Ming Hall. Here, remember the hall where we had our daily assembly? This building housed the upper form six classrooms. Remember the concerts and plays staged at the Wong Kim Ming Hall?






As we enter the school ground, let us look for the building that housed the science laboratories. Hey, all science students of our school days, remember the biology and chemistry labs? Is there a physics lab too (I cannot remember)?






Opposite the laboratories is the building that also brings memories. The homes of the fourth and fifth formers. Remember that the fourth forms were on the ground floor while the fifth forms were on the first floor? And that our bell ringer was busy every hour, marking the end of each period?
