The School has organised a cocktail party to launch the celebrations for its 60th Anniversary. Over 100 guests attended and shared many stories as they discussed the School’s many achievements. A feature of the reception was an 8-metre-long exhibition panel of the School’s major milestones including early prospectuses and historical photos.

Over the past 60 years, the School has been nurturing students and helping local people gain professional qualifications to help them grow in their careers and help Hong Kong grow too, Since the School opened in 1957 as the HKU Department of Extra Mural Studies it has accommodated more than 2,600,000 course enrolments.
