A Hong Kong primary school opposite the scene of the deadly Tai Po fire is expected to take over another campus by the end of June, its principal has said, with pupils set to begin classes for the coming academic year at the new premises.
Parents of pupils at Tai Po Baptist Public School told the Post on Saturday that they supported the move, adding that their children were excited to start learning at the new site.
Education authorities earlier announced that the school would use the old premises of the former Church of Christ in China Kei Ching Primary School at Tai Po’s Fu Shin Estate from the 2026-27 academic year.
“We have a lot of confidence in the Education Bureau. They have promised that they would hand over the new campus to us by the end of June this year,” principal Siu Ting said.
She added that the institution had already told parents that pupils would start learning at the new premises in September.
Following the fire at Wang Fuk Court last November, which killed 161 people, the school’s students were relocated from their campus near the estate to Tai Po Government Primary School and NTWJWA Christian Remembrance of Grace Primary School for the current academic year.
