St. Joseph's College (SJC; traditional Chinese: 聖若瑟書院; Jyutping: sing3 joek6 sat1 syu1 jyun2; demonym: Josephian), established in 1875, is the oldest Catholic boys' secondary school in Hong Kong. It is located in the Central and Western District and has around 1,100 students on role. Apart from Chinese related subjects and French language studies, the medium of teaching is English.

The sponsoring body of the College is the Institute of the Brothers of the Christian Schools. Known as the 'Lasallian Brothers', the Institute's spirit is of faith and zeal: to have faith in God and an ardent zeal to teach the children, helping them in developing themselves so to live as brothers and sisters in a world of justice. In accordance, the mission of the College is "to educate students in areas of intellectual, physical, social, moral and emotional development" and "to impart a human and Christian education...and to do so with faith and zeal".

The north and west blocks of the College are declared monuments of Hong Kong.

History

Foundation of the College (1875-1880)

The College was previously a Portuguese commercial school named St. Saviour's College, located 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 arrived 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.

At the time of the takeover the school had just 75 students. That year, hundreds of Portuguese families had taken refuge in Hong Kong as a disastrous typhoon had swept over Macau, so after weeks the enrollment had doubled and it became evident that an extension to the present building had to be contemplated. Mgr. Raimondi purchased a house (Buxley Lodge) situated at 99 Caine Road for $14,000 in June 1876, and the Brothers at once moved into it.

Days at Robinson Road (1881-1917)

In April, 1880, Brother Cyprian was appointed Director. He had been a distinguished teacher in New York and Quebec and had held the directorship of several schools in his native land, Canada, previous to his experience in London and Paris. In order to cater for the needs of the fast-growing school, a piece of land in Glenealy below Robinson Road was bought and a two-storey Victorian building became home to the College in 1881.

In January, 1884, Brother Ivarch Louis arrived in Hong Kong as Director. The College had already secured a prominent place among the leading education establishments and its influence radiated through all the countries of the Far East, with boarding students from the Philippines, Indochina, Siam, Malaya and elsewhere. In 1889 he was called to Colombo and Brother Abban took his place. Enrollment had been increased to 409 and two Chinese staff were employed by the college; in the same year a third floor was added to the school building for the accommodation of the boarders. The wings were further added in 1901.

The new Kennedy Road campus (1918- )

On 13 February 1918, a fifty-second earthquake struck the colony and the Robinson Road campus was severely damaged. Subsequently Principal Brother Aimar bought the Club Germania with its commodious grounds at 7 Kennedy Road on 3 September - the splendid German building was confisicated by the Custodian of Enemy Property of the British Colonial Government since the outbreak of World War I. The top floor of the five-storey Victorian building was the Brothers' Quarters. The third floor was once a dormitory for students and boarders, while afterwards it served as the old Old Hall. The second floor was the office and quarters of the secretary; the first floor located the general office and recreation room. The ground floor was a library.

Noting that pupils living on the Kowloon side had to cross by ferry round-trip every day, Brother Aimar set up a branch school on Chatham Road, Kowloon, which, in 1932, became the La Salle College.

In order to accommodate more students, the North Block (Classroom Block) was erected in 1920 and was opened by Governor Sir Reginald Edward Stubbs. The Chapel Block (Science Block) was opened on 24 October 1925, housing the Chapel, laboratories, and Li Shek Pang Hall (the current Old Hall).

During the Japanese Occupation of Hong Kong from 1941 to 1945, the College was used as a clinical depot by the Imperial Japanese Army. Some Brothers fled to Vietnam and became guests of the Dominicans and the Jesuits, while others were kept as prisoners of war in the local concentration camps. The campus was kept in shape by a minor staffer called Ah Yiu, who would also smuggle essentials into the camps for the Brothers.

The College soon resumed class after the war. In 1962, Club Germania was demolished and a modern eight-storey building (New Building) was erected under Principal Brother Brenden Dunne. Governor Sir Robert Brown Black and Superior General Brother Nicet Joseph officiated the opening of the new building. Prior to the establishment of St. Joseph's College Primary School, classes in the College ran from Class Eight to Class One, equivalent to Primary Five to Upper Six today.

Campus

The College is located near the central commercial district of Hong Kong.

The college architecture is acombination of typical colonial European (British Imperialist) and modern styles. The Old Building (north block), constructed in 1920, houses most of the classrooms. The Chapel Block (west block) houses the Old Hall, music room, laboratories, lecture room and school chapel. These buildings were built in a Colonial style reflecting European influences; features include the clock towers, the turret and the verandahs built for ventilation. The two blocks are declared monuments of Hong Kong since August 2000.

The modern New Building (south block), which replaced the original Club Germania on the site, houses the higher grades' classrooms. The New Hall, senior laboratories, (such as biology and senior chemistry laboratory), a library and computer rooms are located here. The Multimedia Learning Centre (MMLC) on the second floor has been in use since 2000.

In 2007, the school had five new rooms : an art room, two staff rooms,which is Staff Room E and Staff Room F, a remedial room and an Information Technology Learning Centre (ITLC) under the new hall.

Staff

The College is governed by the School Management Committee. It is formed by the supervisor, the principal, two vice-principals, a teachers' representative, a Parent-Teacher Association representative, an Old Boys' Association representative and three Lasallian Brothers.

The faculty includes 67 classroom teachers, a careers mistress, a discipline mistress, a counseling mistress, a sports master, a librarian, one Native English Speaking (NET) teacher, a French teacher. Laboratory technicians, IT technicians and a library assistant are also employed. A part-time social worker is accessible to the students. The current school supervisor is Brother Chan Jeffrey, .

For the first three years of school, various subjects were introduced to students, including English, Chinese/French, Putonghua, Mathematics, Integrated Humanities, Religious Studies (Christianity), Music and Visual Arts. In order to raise students' awareness in business, Business Fundamentals was introduced. Integrated Science is introduced in Secondary One to Two, and by Secondary Three Physics, Chemistry and Biology are offered to students.

Previously, under the HKCEE system, classes from Form Four onwards two-stream classes (Arts or Science). Form Four and Five students would prepare for the Hong Kong Certificate of Education Examination (HKCEE) and all students had to take English, Chinese/French, Mathematics and Religious Studies (Christianity) as their core subjects. History, Chinese History, Geography, Economics, Commerce, Principles of Accounts, Travel & Tourism, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Additional Mathematics and Computer & IT were offered according to the streaming. The College was among the first schools to offer the highly regarded Travel & Tourism course, and study activities such as visits and study tours were strongly backed up by the industry.

The first local inter-school athletic meet with Queen's College and Diocesan Boys' School was held in 1899, and in 1903 the first local inter-school football league was formed with the two schools.

Heritage

School motto

LABORE ET VIRTUTE (Latin); "勤勞與美德" (Chinese); Labour and Virtue (English) — sums up the life of Saint Joseph. He was a workingman, a carpenter by trade and his virtue made him worthy to be the foster-father of Christ. This motto expresses the spirit that it is by hard work and virtue that a Josephian shall make a success of his life, and so remain true to the traditions of the College.

School badge

The badge of the College displays a shield divided into three divisions. The top division shows the Signum Fidei (sign of faith) - a five-pointed, radiant star, which is taken from the insignia of the Institute of the Brothers of the Christian Schools. It reminds people of the spirit of FAITH of the Institute. The right lower division shows three chevrons symbolizing broken bones, reminding students of the bravery and zeal the Saint promoted. The left lower division shows the book of knowledge on top (with the Alpha and Omega inscribed) and a lamp below; together they symbolize the importance of education, something which St. La Salle emphasised.

The shield stands with a compartment with supporters each of French lily, since the Lasallian family originates in Rheims, France. The top features a ribbon with the name of the College, and a crest with a cross (Catholicism) and a crown (used to symbolize Hong Kong as a British Crown Colony before 1997). Below the shield are three shells symbolising baptism. The motto of the College in Latin, Labore et Virtute, is also found at the bottom of the badge.

School colours

The combination of Green & White has become the official colours of the College over the years. Green represents Ireland's shamrock, while White represents France's fleur-de-lis. The Lasallian Brothers of the College mostly come from Ireland and France.

Shamrock: plant having leaves divided into three leaflets; symbolize the Cross and the Holy Trinity; the emblem of Ireland. Fleur-de-lis: a charge representing lily with six petals; symbolizing purity and the Holy Trinity; the symbol of ancient France.
