‘You can’t have both the fish and the bear’s paw’: principal

But Instituto Salesiano vows to preserve what it can

Instituto Salesiano Principal Jacob Yu Fu-keung said yesterday that the preservation of an over century-old building on the school premises and the school’s expansion cannot be done at the same time.

Yu made the remarks during a press conference at the school yesterday.

According to media reports late last year, the over century-old edifice, which serves as a primary school, faces possible demolition as the school looks to erect a new one in its place.
