Having seen this photo on Facebook dated to 1958 showing the vacant lot of the future school, I guess the school would have been built between 1960 and 1961.

It looks as though it was already open in 1959, as a search for "yu to sang memorial school" in the SCMP returns the first result on 10 July 1959. There are regular mentions of the school throughout the rest of that year as it was used in the evenings as a Civil Aid Service training centre.

1959 good enough.
