I came across this chinese name 翠蘭崗 which describes the place the campus located on when it was at Club Street. But I can't find the official English name of it. After reading your article, I supppose it maight be "Chui Lan Hill". It would be so good if you know the detail about this.

I am no exception. Gradually, enrolment in Chinese schools dwindled, as parents felt that their children would be disadvantaged if they didn’t get an education in English. By the 80’s, all schools switched to English as the main language of instruction. With the closure of Nanyang University, it choked off the opportunities for further education for the Chinese-stream students. Chinese schools suffered a natural death. What remained, are these schools with only their Chinese names.nahnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7826590137201441127.post-68178783268216401812009-10-28T12:12:31.487+08:002009-10-28T12:12:31.487+08:00Victor = Lo Pan, Por ZiVictor = Lo Pan, Por Ziprofessorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00809618698123403356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7826590137201441127.post-10233909136416207972009-10-28T00:05:04.016+08:002009-10-28T00:05:04.016+08:00Vic, you are a man of many identities (and talents...Vic, you are a man of many identities (and talents?)
