A Plaque in memory of extension work in 1988

Location: 6/F of main building

Chong Gene Hang College is the first school in Chai Wan far away from the city centre. Back in the 70s and early 80s, the transportation network was not well developed. Quarters were built on the top floor (6/F) to save the traveling time of the Brothers. However, the Brothers preferred living in St. Joseph’s College, so the quarters became vacant. To fully utilize the space and increase the number of classrooms, extension work on the top floor was proposed in 1988. Various fund-raising activities, such as a Fun Fair and walkathon, were held. Mr. Ma, the chairman of the Oriental Daily Charity Fund, donated 150 thousand dollars to support the extension work. With the help of Mr. Ma and other donors, seven more classrooms were built so that there are no floating classes. For showing our deep gratitude to the donors, a plaque was made and hung on the wall on the sixth floor of the main building.
