Conflicts over Hong Kong’s protest crisis reached a local secondary school on Thursday as dozens of students and alumni denounced the handling of a singing battle between rival student groups.

Chaos also erupted at Chinese University on Thursday with more than 100 students storming the faculty building to demand to speak with the vice chancellor over his alleged lack of support for students arrested since the citywide protests started in June.

At S.K.H. All Saints’ Middle School in Mong Kok, about 50 students, alumni and students from nearby schools gathered outside campus on Wednesday to protest against the school’s handling of a clash between government supporters and opponents.

A 17-year-old Form Six student, who only gave her name as Z, said she and about 10 other students skipped class and went to the playground to show support for the 18-year-old student who was shot in the chest by the police in a protest in Tsuen Wan on Tuesday.
