This unavoidable facelift would raise the standard of the hostels if completed. While arrangement is ongoing with the Student Affairs Unit to secure alternative accommodation for sizeable number of male and female that this renovation affected.

Traditionally, balloting and allocation of bedspaces mode remains unchanged and the new commencement date will be announced soon.

Furthermore, kindly be informed that payment of School Charges is a crucial prerequisite for hostel balloting and allocation.
