BY 1997, St Mark's School will have an additional building to provide more facilities for its students. The proposed four-storey block is under discussion with the Education Department and awaits approval.
Acting principal Mr Kan Shun-fat said the expansion would ease the need of classroom space and provide a more comfortable environment for students.
At present, the co-educational school is handling 24 classes although it was originally designed to house only 18.
''The new block will give us two remedial classrooms, another library, a computer room, an Integrated Science laboratory, two playgrounds - one covered and one roofed - as well as some Physical Education changing rooms,'' said Mr Kan.
Construction work for the building may begin any time and completion is expected within three to four years.
It will stand next to the present playground and will be equipped with additional facilities for table-tennis.
