Maryknoll Convent School 瑪利諾修院學校

A wonderful afternoon at the campus of Maryknoll Convent School!   Rarely do we have large school campuses in the urban areas of Hong Kong, Maryknoll Convent School is truly a rare gem in the city.  Located in Kowloon Tong, the campus houses a cluster of brown brick buildings which first started service in 1936. 

瑪利諾修院學校建於1936年，乃香港小數於市區擁有大型校園嘅學校。 四月十六日有幸獲邀走入校園速寫，遊覽校園一圈，塔樓與背後城市相映成趣，於是停低以畫為紀。

Sketching at Maryknoll Convent School 瑪利諾修院學校寫生

Today I went to Maryknoll Convent School as the school campus was open to public as a participant of Heritage Fiesta, a programme that aims at celebrating the various historic architecture in Hong Kong as well as educating the public about the importance of preserving them.  It was a hot dry day and fortunately I was able to settle in the shade of a large tree and sketched the entrance to the school.  

今年發展局文物保育專員辦事處邀請了 瑪利諾修院學校 參與「古蹟周遊樂2013」並開放小學部校園給公眾參觀。今天天晴趕燥，好在大門有大樹遮陰，作畫時不至曬到滿頭大汗。

香港日治時期，受二戰戰事影響，瑪利諾修院學校一度停課。雖然學校於1943年局部復課，但校舍大部份位置於1942年至1945年期間曾改作日軍醫院
