In 2013 it had one class per year, but it was scheduled to have four primary 1 classes with a total of 128 students the following year. In 2013 the school was receiving an expansion including classrooms, a library, and a teachers' room due to an increase in students who are Hong Kong residents living in Shenzhen.[7] ## Transport The area is far from its nearest major road, [Sha Tau Kok Road](/source/Sha_Tau_Kok_Road), connecting [Fanling](/source/Fanling) to [Sha Tau Kok](/source/Sha_Tau_Kok). Branch roads connect to the major road via the [Ping Che](/source/Ping_Che) area in the south. ## Climate The name of Ta Kwu Ling is frequently heard in weather reports, since it often experiences the highest and lowest daily temperatures in Hong Kong, due to its inland location. Temperatures near 0 °C (32 °F) occur once every few years, while daily minimum temperatures of 5 °C (41 °F) or less are common during winter.
