Re: DGS
Hi there,
The whole campus is being rebuilt now and they are targetting for the new school year of 2011.
Might have to check their website for more info, but I believe the old buildings had been demolished sometime between 2009 and 2010.
Best Regards,

I've added a completion date
I've added a completion date of 1913, taken from the school's history page:
In 1913 the School finally moved to its present site in Kowloon. Read more...
The school's previous site was Rose Villa, over on Hong Kong island.
