With the hard work of Colonel E. G. Stewart, the original college staff and students, St. Paul's College re-opened by taking over the old St. John's Hall premises at Bonham Road. St. John's Hall was a residential hall of the University of Hong Kong under Sheung Kung Hui (Church of England).
An outdoor swimming pool, named St. Paul's College Alumni Association Tse Yu Chuen Swimming Pool, was opened. Its construction was made possible by funds from parents, old boys and, most importantly, the Alumni Association.
