Covered playground-looking from the east

The Wu Jieh Yee Plaza, a 930 sq. m multi-purpose covered area, ensures the continuation of activities despite adverse weather conditions. It serves as a pre-function lobby area for activities held in the auditorium upstairs.
     
Covered playground-looking from the south

The 6 m high ceiling opens up the vista of lawn area and allows the free flow of air between the lawn and the Stubbs Road area. Facilities on the left include a prayer room, a gym room, changing rooms, lavatories and more. 

     
Roof garden

The tanquil Cheung Lap Kwun Garden on the roof provides a 350 sq. m haven in which students can conduct activities or relax in a peaceful environment against the backdrop of the breath-taking panoramic view of Wanchai.
     
Classrooms on the roof

The 3 classrooms adjacent to the roof-garden are partitioned with folding doors that can be opened up to create a large multi-purpose room. White-boards and AV equipment are installed in the classrooms. Full height folding glass doors facing the roof garden to the north make the classrooms bright and airy.
