History

Foundation of the College (1875-1880)

The College was previously a Portuguese commercial school named St. Saviour's College, established on Pottinger Street in 1860. Father Timoleon Raimondi, who was then the bishop of the Colony, convinced Rome to send the Lasallian Brothers to the British Colony. On 7 November 1875 six Lasallian Brothers landed in Hong Kong: Brothers Hidulphe Marie (Director), Hidulphe de Jesus, and Hebertus from the Boarding school of Marseilles; Brother Adrian Edmund and Aldolphus Marie from the Novitiate of London; and Brother Isfrid from Paris. They renamed the school after Saint Joseph, the patron saint of workers and the Universal Church.^[3] Steps of Pottinger Street near Queens Road Central Pottinger Street (砵典乍街; formerly 砵甸乍街) is a street in Central, Hong Kong. ...

At the time of the takeover the school had just seventy-five students. That year, hundreds of Portuguese families had taken refuge in Hong Kong as a disastrous typhoon had swept over Macao, so after weeks the enrollment had doubled and it became evident that an extension to the present building had to be contemplated.

School rally

The school rally was composed by Principal Brother Marcian in 1903.

All through our College a voice is resounding, Promptly respond to your duty's clear call. Harken you all for the trumpet is sounding, Your Mater's proclaiming her watchword to all. Chorus- Forward, not flinch nor fear, Ever with heart sincere, Render with joy to your Mater her due; All that is vile reject; Heaven will e'er protect, Sons of St. Joseph's valiant and true. Labour and Virtue your motto still bearing, Forward with courage in ways that are just; True to your standard be doing and daring, As faithful Josephians in Heaven you trust. (Chorus)

Onward and upward in life's earnest battle, Joyously bearing the brunt of the fight, Nobly forgiving for aught that may pain you, And bravely defending the cause of the right. (Chorus) Lift up your hearts for a Kingdom awaits you, Honour and Virtue with courage defend; Serve Him in life, who in death can reward you, And vow to be faithful and true to the end. (Chorus)
