A 1990 map book shows the Yu To Sang Memorial Secondary School on this site.

Hi

A friend of mine who lives in Mui Wo recently toured me in the surrounding villages. We walked through an old abandoned school in Wo Tin, very close to the silvermine waterfall (I wonder how I never noticed it before). There is nothing left  in the three classroom building but one sign on the wall marked 1962, portraying the original management team.

I couldn't find anything online about the school, does anyone know about it?

58, Tai Po Road

It's the building next to the roundabout in this photo:

1939

On 28th November 1939, item 633 in the Gazette announced "Tenders invited for New Teacher's Training College, Bonham Road, Hong Kong" and that "The work consists of the erection of a three storied building in reinforced concrete with basement to central portion, drainage, site work, and caretaker’s quarters."

1941

Originally Edenhall, the old mansion on the site was used as the school building along with one half of Westbourne Villa (No 84 Bonham Road), where Rhine Court is today. A purpose built school was built c1960 before being replaced with the Scholastic Gardens development in the mid 1990's

I found a few mentions of the school in the 1960 thesis "Educational development in post-war Hong Kong":
