History

Foundation

In 1917 the Brothers of the Christian Schools[6], who had founded St. Joseph's College in 1875, opened a junior school on Chatham Road near the Rosary Church. At this time Kowloon was expanding rapidly, demand for school places was rising and Brother Aimar Sauron, the Director of St. Joseph's, realized that a new school building was necessary. He acquired a large plot near Prince Edward Road as a site for the new La Salle College. The site was immediately north of the city boundary, thus was technically in New Kowloon. That section of Boundary Street was not yet a formal road when the school site was bought, and was only gazetted several years after the school opened.

On November 5, 1930 Sir William Peel, the Governor of Hong Kong, laid the foundation stone of the new building.

La Salle College School Song


Verse I:

Boys of courage, boys of daring,
Full of manliness and will;
Spirits not for danger caring,
Hearts to conquer every ill.

Chorus:

We are sons of La Salle everyone,
And no matter where we go,
High aloft her flag we will hold,
And strive that her fame may grow.

Verse II:

There are famous schools in plenty,
With their heroes by the score,
And they flourish high and mighty,
But La Salle is something more.
(chorus)

Verse III:

From her lofty station pointing,
To the sky's majestic dome,
She would have us ever minding,
That above is our true home.
(chorus)

Verse IV:

Come whatever kind of weather.
Come the stormy days along,
When the Old Boys get together,
They will always sing this song.
(chorus)

After La Salle was finally built, its architectural beauty held people in astonishment. However, only after reopening the school for six years, La Salle College's schooling was once again affected when World War II struck Hong Kong in 1939. The British War Department immediately designated the campus as an concentration camp for German enemies. The camp was run for approximately six months, and during that time the Brothers managed to run the school in a temporary building at Perth Street.

Later, in 1941, the Japanese attacked Hong Kong, the school building was taken over by the British once again, but as a Relief Hospital. As the attacks on Hong Kong went underway, the Japanese also demanded use of the school building. After the surrendering of Hong Kong on Christmas Day, 1941, in February, the Brothers were expelled from La Salle College. During the Japanese Occupation, the College was used as a Military Hospital until August 1945. The school's operations was terminated until September 1946. Finally, the school was permanently returned to the Brothers for education.


After the War

For seven years the College thrived under the guidance of Brother Aimar. The students achieved excellent results in the Matriculation Examinations, the laboratories were getting into shape, four tennis courts and a full-sized football pitch were built and the statue of St. John Baptist de La Salle that now stands in front of the College was erected. The number of students increased to 805 in 1935 and 1,060 in 1939. Currently, the school has well over 1600 students and the number is increasing every year.

Brother Felix was appointed Director of the School in 1956 and re-acquired the College buildings from the military authorities on August 1, 1959. Student numbers grew steadily and this in turn led to a separation of primary and secondary divisions. La Salle Primary School was founded in 1957 and Brother Henry Pang was appointed Headmaster.

Towards the mid-1970s, the Brothers, under the directorship of Brother Raphael, decided the then aging building was functionally inadequate and would be too costly to refurbish. The old building with its distinctive Majestic Dome was knocked down to make way for progress. While classes were continuing, a portion of the school grounds were used to erect a new superstructure with modern facilities. The project was funded via the sale of part of the school grounds to various property corporations; therefore, the current College is notably smaller than that of the days of the Majestic Dome. The Governor of Hong Kong, Sir Murray MacLehose, officially opened the new school on February 19, 1982, in her Golden Jubilee year. // Sociological concept In social sciences, superstructure is the set of socio-psychological feedback loops that maintain a coherent and meaningful structure in a given society, or part thereof. ...

The current College building stands seven floors high from the "field level" (5 floors above ground level, and 2 floors below ground level with the field at the very bottom) and has an enrollment of almost 1,800 students. Its four blocks surround two quadrangles, the lower dotted with benches and greenery and the upper containing a standard size basketball court. The four blocks are named the North, East, South and West Wings after their position on the two quadrangles. There is an extensive range of facilities for academic use and for extracurricular activities, including sporting facilities. The new campus incorporates a standard size football field with artificial turf, a 400 m all-weather track (6 lanes), a 50 m outdoor swimming pool with electronic timing and an air-conditioned gymnasium encompassing 6 badminton courts and a basketball court. In addition, there are two outdoor basketball courts, a tennis court, a volleyball court, and a squash court[7].

Since the majority of the school buildings are above their standards, the Government is not responsible for the school's maintenance. Replacements of plant and machinery as well as the upkeeping of existing facilities require substantial sums of money. The Brothers, Principal Brother Francis, and some old boys initiated the idea of a Foundation whose sole aim was to provide sufficient funds to do just this. In early 1992, the La Salle Foundation[11] was established with Mr. Michael Sze as the first Chairman.
