Bellios Public School

Hi Sean - Perhaps start with the Old Girls' Foundation website. The most useful parts should be the following:

1. School history 1890-2010 (http://bogf.org/index.php/memoir120th) - This page contains among other things, (i) the book's table of contents, (ii) at least part of Chapter 1, and (iii) instructions for obtaining a copy.

2. School magazines from 1948 to 1998 (http://bogf.org/index.php/book) - these seem to be fully available for download in PDF format and as such look like quite valuable resources.

Pre-war school records have all been looted or destroyed during the Japanese occupation according to the 1948 school magazine (see paragraph 2 of the Principal's Report on Page 17). Taken together with discussions elsewhere about DBS and Queen's College (http://gwulo.com/node/8581), it appears that HK school records have suffered an extremely high war casualty rate.  I'm only guessing here, but it's likely that the school magazine started publication sometime before the war - and if so, some copies may still be in the school or certain old pupils' possession.
