Elite school halts HK$1 billion redevelopment project indefinitely as a temporary Hung Hom site is deemed too polluted for pupils

The redevelopment of the Hong Kong International School's Repulse Bay campus has been put on hold after the management rejected a second temporary site offered by the Education Bureau.

The school has decided to drop its plan to move its lower primary pupils to the Hung Hom site currently occupied by the English Schools Foundation's Kowloon Junior School.

The school had earlier rejected an offer to relocate to Chai Wan, a 25-minute drive away, citing transport issues.

The school confirmed yesterday that the redevelopment had been put on hold indefinitely until a suitable temporary site could be identified.
