This photo was taken in about 1981 when Quarry Bay was temporarily relocated from Kings Road to Victoria Barracks, before their final move to Braemar Hill. My youngest brother Adam Bottomley is in the photo and I believe he moved to Peak School in September 1982, so not later than that. Also in the photo are other Cavendish Heights friends of his: Jimmy Thompson III (whose family are still in Hong Kong), “Jo-Jo” Wright and Richard Strachan. Headmistress Miss Joyce Mackenzie (1934-1990) is in the centre of the back row. I can also see Mrs Rita Mundy at the back, fourth from right, another long-term teacher at the school. I wonder if anyone else recognises people in the photo?

This photo brought back so…
This photo brought back so many memories. Your photo was shared to an FB group and so many of us were trying to spot themselves in the group photo. I definitely see Mrs Deal (first from L), Mrs Gately (3rd from L) and Mrs Hughes (4th from L).

I'm glad this photo brought back some memories for you and your friends. I posted it on the Quarry Bay School Alumni FB group which is perhaps where you saw it. Not many people have joined that group yet. Hopefully it will catch on.
