[编辑] Heritage

[编辑] School motto

LABORE ET VIRTUTE -- Labour and Virtue -- 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.

[编辑] School badge

The badge of the College displays a shield divided into 3 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 3 chevrons, i.e. broken bones, reminding people 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 the Colony of Hong Kong 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.

[编辑] Mascot

The combination of Green & White has become the mascot of the College over the years. Green represents Ireland Shamrock, while White represents France Fleur-de-lis. The Brothers of the College mostly come from Ireland and France.

[编辑] Campus

The College is located at 7 Kennedy Road which is only five minutes walk from Central, the central commercial district of Hong Kong. Neighbours include St. Joseph's Church and Hong Kong Park. St. Joseph's Path, which joins Kennedy Road and Garden Road, runs along the east side of the College.

The College's architecture is an interesting combination 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 Classical influence. Features include the clock towers, the turret and the Verandahs built for ventilation in the days with no air conditioning. The two Blocks are declared monuments of Hong Kong.

The modern New Building, which replaced the original Club Germania on the site, houses the upper form classrooms. The senior laboratories, library and computer rooms are located here. The New Hall is also part of this structure.
