The former name can only be seen on the other side, not from the sidewalk. From the sidewalk, one can only see the name of the charity group, which is the namesake of the primary school.

That's interesting to know. Here's a mention of the pavilion and the stone from the AMO document:

At the landward end of the Bridge, there was a substantial two-storey pavilion. It was used to greet Chinese imperial officials. Locals named it as the “Pavilion for Greeting Officials”. Two stone tablets were erected inside the pavilion with inscriptions on them recording the 1873 and 1892 works of the Bridge. The pavilion was demolished during the reclamation of Kai Tak residential development between 1916 and 1920. The entrance stone tablet of the pavilion which reads as “Longjin (龍津)” still remained at headquarter of Lok Sin Tong (樂善堂) in Kowloon City.

Any ideas what happened to the stone after 1920, and how it ended up at the school?

As author of the said CMP for LTSB 11 years ago and posted out from Archaology Unit in March 2011, those sentences or details couldn't be recalled now. The Taikoo communal kitchens(waritme stoves) is the last assignment, and I no longer work for AMO starting from 2 July 2020. Here is the link you may find more information:-
