La Salle College (LSC; Chinese: 喇沙書院, Mandarin pinyin: Lǎshā Shūyuàn, Cantonese jyutping: laa3 sa1 syu1 jyun2 ) is a leading boys' secondary school in Hong Kong. It was established by the Brothers of the Christian Schools, a Roman Catholic religious-teaching order founded by St. John Baptist De La Salle.
La Salle College is one of the limited number of schools in Hong Kong that teach in English.[5] The school curriculum uses English as medium of instruction in all subjects with the exception of Chinese-related subjects and French.
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.[7] 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 in 1928. 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 in 1929.
On 5 November 1930, Sir William Peel, the Governor of Hong Kong, laid the foundation stone of the new building. By 3 December 1931, the work on the building and the playgrounds was sufficiently advanced to allow the opening of eight classes for 303 pupils, under the management of five Brothers from St. Joseph's College and four Assistant Masters from the Chatham Road School. [8]
The formal inauguration took place on 6 January 1932. Seven Brothers, headed by Rev. Brother Aimar as Director, took over and a few days later 40 boarders occupied their quarters to the west of the building. There were then 540 students in 14 classes. About one third of the students had a European (especially Portuguese) connection.

After La Salle was finally completed, its architectural beauty held people in astonishment. 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.
However, in 1939, La Salle College was affected when World War II commenced in Europe. On 3 September 1939, Britain declared war on Germany, and the British War Department in Hong Kong designated the campus as an internment camp for German nationals arrested in Hong Kong that very same day, those interned included, as a young man, the renowned German engineer Gerhard Neumann. The camp was run for approximately eight months, during which time the Brothers managed to run the school in morning and afternoon sessions in the College Annex across the road (the building which was to become La Salle Primary School in 1957).
On 8 December 1941, the Japanese attacked Hong Kong, and the school building was again taken over by the British Military, this time as a relief hospital. As the attacks on Hong Kong were underway, the Japanese too demanded the use of the school building, and after the surrender of Hong Kong on Christmas Day 1941, the Japanese took over the building. In February 1942, the Brothers were expelled from the College and the school's operations was terminated until the September of 1946. During the Japanese occupation, the College was believed to have been used as a Military Hospital until August 1945.
After the war
School recommenced in September 1946, but by the end of 1949, the civil war in China was coming to an end, and most of China was controlled by the Communist Government of Mao Zedong, and the People’s Liberation Army was rapidly advancing southwards towards the HK Border. Owing to that threat, the British Army reinforced their garrisons in Hong Kong. In need of a hospital, the British Army demanded the use of the College grounds, supposedly for 12 to 18 months only. Meanwhile, the Hong Kong government would erect wood hutments on a plot at Perth Street, Ho Man Tin. The supposedly temporary occupation dragged on for some 10 years, taking the concerted efforts of the Local Government, British Parliament and Vatican to finally dislodge the Army in the August of 1959.
A new beginning
Post-war development
Brother Felix was appointed Director of the School in 1956 and re-acquired the College buildings from the military authorities on 1 August 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. [9]
In 1964, The La Salle College Evening School was commenced within the Majestic Dome Campus; then in 1969 The Evening School was separated and became the Chan Sui Ki (La Salle) College in Homantin. 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 Cheung Kong owned by Li Ka Shing; therefore, the plot of the current College is smaller than that of the days of the majestic Dome. The Governor of Hong Kong, Sir Murray MacLehose, officially opened the new school on 19 February 1982, in her Golden Jubilee year.
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 track and 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 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.[10]
Recent years
To enhance communication between teachers and parents, a Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) was established in January 1995 and has become an integral part of the life of the school.
In September 1996, the track and field were in urgent need of resurfacing. The La Salle Foundation, with the help of the PTA, raised over five million Hong Kong dollars and the Hong Kong Jockey Club contributed the same amount. The project was completed in October 1998 and the facilities were renamed the La Salle College-Jockey Club Track and Field.
In December 1998, La Salle College hosted the 3rd gathering of the Asia-Pacific Lasallian Educators' Congress; about 130 delegates from the Asia-Pacific region took part. As a direct result, the Hong Kong Lasallian Family Office was established in April 1999 with Brother Thomas Lavin as Coordinator. This Office aims to draw together the various members of the Lasallian Family in Hong Kong.
In December 2004 more than 150 Brothers and young Lasallians joined together in Hong Kong for the Seventh Asia-Pacific Lasallian Youth Congress, chaired by Brother Thomas Lavin, under the theme "Together in Faith-Full Service".
During the summer of 2005, the construction work of the School Improvement Program (SIP) ended with the completion of two new wings, the Aimar Wing and the Cassian Wing, named after the first two principals of the school. The SIP provides an additional 32 rooms, with new facilities including computer rooms and a multi-media learning centre.[11]
In 2009, the refurbishment of the track and field was completed at a cost of 8 million. The 4th generation turf is laid as the surface of the football pitch. There are also a new discus throwing circle and safety cage, a javelin practice area. The tennis court was also resurfaced.
Admission
72% of La Salle College's total Form 1 intake is from its feeder school, La Salle Primary School, with 28% from other primary schools. Applicants would attend interviews in English which are conducted by the Supervisor and the Principal. Other criteria include applicants' performance in extracurricular activities, awards and certificates and academic excellence. In addition, La Salle College applicants may apply for French[12] as an alternative to Chinese.
School associations
The Old Boys' Association (LSCOBA) is an organization that intends to unify old boys around the world, as well as contributing to the College by, for example, sponsoring scholarships, organizing career talks and supporting various school's events. Its membership as of 7 June 2006 reached 5,367.
The Student Association (LSCSA)[13] represents current students, and its Executive Committee is chosen through elections open to students of Form 2 and higher every year. It consists of five boards, namely the Clubs Coordinating Board (CCB), the Discipline Board (DB), the Class Representatives' Board (CRB), the Publications Board (PB), and the Secretariat (SEC).
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[14] was established with Mr. Michael Sze as the first Chairman.
Layman principals
As Hong Kong education law requires school principals to retire at 60 years of age, Brother Thomas Lavin relinquished the position in 2004, and flew to Bethlehem for ministerial works in 2005. Dr. Paul Lau (劉煒堅) then became the first secular principal of La Salle College. Lau had completed his primary and secondary education at La Salle Primary School and La Salle College in earlier years.
Lau resigned in 2006 with effect from 31 August 2006, citing personal reasons, and was succeeded by Mr. Wong Yen-Kit (王仁傑) as Acting Principal. Shortly after, Brother Thomas Lavin, the School Supervisor, announced that Mr. Wong Yen-Kit would take up the position of the Principal with immediate effect.[15]
Mr Wong Yen-Kit retired as Principal on 31 August 2010. He is succeeded by Brother Steve Hogan, a former Principal of De La Salle College, New Zealand.[16]
Achievements
Academic
Required by Hong Kong law, schools must have two examinations every year: Mid Year and Final Examination. In between the two examinations, students are provided feedback on their performance through continuous assessment,[17] which accounts for 20% of the total subject mark.
The school consistently produces scholars who excel in public examinations. In 1993, the school produced the first ever student achieving 10 distinctions in Arts subjects in the Hong Kong Certificate of Education Examination (HKCEE). In 2001, four students of the school attained the top score of 10 A's, a feat repeated in 2008. Two years later, the class of 2003 scored a total of 501 A's, the most distinctions a single school had ever achieved in a single sitting in the half-century history of the HKCEE.
LSC counts 5 winners of the Hong Kong Outstanding Students Awards,[18] ranking 16th (tied with Wah Yan College, Hong Kong, Madam Lau Kam Lung Secondary School of MFBM and Queen Elizabeth School) among all secondary schools in Hong Kong.
Extra-curricular
La Salle College has over 50 clubs and societies which combined, with overlaps, consist of every member of the school. Clubs are divided into academic, cultural, religious, interest, service and sports groups. In addition, joining clubs is mandatory.[19]
The College's students are active in academic, cultural and sports competitions. They have a Champion record of the Joint School Chinese Debating Competition and the Hong Kong Mathematics Olympiad, as well as a School Grand Prize Winner record of the Hong Kong Olympiad in Informatics.
In sports, La Salle College has conquered badminton champions in all grades in 1993-1994, 2003–2004 and 2004-2005 in the Kowloon Area. In addition, La Salle has won the championships in athletics, badminton, basketball, cross country, fencing (Grand slam in 2010), football, hockey, squash (16 consecutive years,1994–2010) softball, swimming, table tennis, tennis and volleyball. Table tennis team has been named the Overall Champions 7 years in a row during 2000-2007.
The Omega Rose Bowl, and its successor the Bauhinia Bowl,[20] is awarded to the secondary school with the best all-round sporting performance in the Hong Kong Island and Kowloon region. La Salle College has been the Boys School Champions 26 times, by far the most awarded secondary school in the Boys' Schools section. La Salle College also holds the record of receiving the Rose Bowl, predecessor of the Bauhinia Bowl, for the longest period of 17 years between 1974 and 1991.
Currently, La Salle College is one of the best schools in Hong Kong in terms of sport[21] and academics.
School Spirit
The Interschool Athletics Meet[22] takes place every year in March. It is not only an external sports event, but also an opportunity for all La Salle students to show their Lasallian spirit.
Most of the top schools take part in this event and ever since the commencement, La Salle and Diocesan Boys' School have been competing to run for championship in the competition. In the academic year of 2007-2008, Diocesan Boys' School was the champion while La Salle came first runner-up, after receiving the Bauhinia Bowl for 8 consecutive years. La Salle College also holds the record of receiving the Rose Bowl, predecessor of the Bauhinia Bowl, for the longest period of 17 years between 1974 and 1991.
Prayers
Classes maintain the tradition of praying before almost every class (depending on the teacher). The prayers are usually led by students on duty, Catholic boys or sometimes the teacher, and commonly include a Hail Mary, Glory Be to the Father or The Lord's Prayer, and the prayer is closed with the unique Lasallian lines: "St. John Baptist de La Salle - Pray for us; Live Jesus in our hearts - Forever".

By tradition, alumni of La Salle College are called La Salle Old Boys, and the alumni association is called La Salle College Old Boys' Association.[23]
