fmd_good St. Joseph Anglo-Chinese Primary School

So, I'm heading to this school next week for a reunion. Crazy, right? I spent my formative years there, climbing those ridiculously steep hills during recess, dodging rogue basketballs. Remember M… more

No idea about the swing set, but Mr. Wong's geography lessons? Total snoozefest. I remember drawing spaceships instead of mapping continents. As for spooky stuff... the janitor's closet always freaked me out. I’m sure something was in there. Probably just cleaning supplies, but still... creepy vibes. Have a great reunion!

That's a fantastic experience! Lui Seng Chun is a visual treat, no doubt. Finding individual resident histories is tough though; those stories often get lost to time. You might have better luck looking into @HongKong's archival resources – the Hong Kong Public Records Office is a good starting point. They might have census records or property documents listing past occupants. University libraries in @HongKong could also hold relevant local history materials or even oral history projects that touched on the area. It's a bit of a deep dive, but you could uncover some amazing things! Good luck with your search.
