Portuguese Community School / Escola Camoes, Cox's Road [????- ]

The satellite view of the area shows there is still a low-rise building at this location, though I'm not sure if it's the original building used by the school or not.

I've seen several mentions that the school was created by the Portuguese community in the 1950s, but I don't know if the building was built at that time, or they moved in to an existing building.

Any further information, photos & memories gratefully received.

Completion date from the school website:

Bishop Hall Jubilee School was established in 1961 to commemorate the Silver Jubilee of the Right Reverend Ronald Owen Hall as the Bishop of the Anglican Diocese of Hong Kong, Macao and South China (now reorganized as Hong Kong Sheng Kung Hui Province). The laying of the foundation stone on 10th December 1961 marked the blessing of God to this school, which was founded in the aftermath of World War II, a time when the number of students in Hong Kong was on the rise.

Looking East across Western Street. The Building on the left is Balls Court. The building in the centre is possibly an extention to the school. In the foreground is a Roman Catholic Chapel on the current site of Kings College. Upper right of the picture is Craigellachie
