6th January 1932

La Salle College formally opened her doors to students on 6th January 1932.
6th Jan 2022 marks the 90th Anniversary of our school’s establishment.
The story of La Salle begins in 1917 when the Brothers of St. Joseph's College opened a junior school on Chatham Road, near Rosary Church. Kowloon was expanding rapidly at that time and demand for school places was rising. Br. Aimar, the then Director of St. Joseph's, realized that a new school building was necessary. He acquired a piece of land on Boundary Street in the late 1920s as a site for the new La Salle College.
On 5th November, 1930, Sir William Peel, the Governor of Hong Kong, laid the foundation stone of the new building. By 3rd December 1931, the work on the building and the playgrounds was sufficiently advanced to allow the opening of eight classes under the management of five Brothers from St. Joseph's College and four Assistant Masters, Messrs. Charles Dragon, Francis Chan, James Ng and Benedict Lim, from the Chatham Road School. 303 students were present on that day.
On 6th January 1932 came the formal inauguration; seven Brothers headed by Rev. Br. Aimar as Director, took over and a few days later 40 boarders occupied their quarters in the west of the building. There were then 540 students in 14 classes.

1932

Maybe I am right
Maybe I am wrong

One thing I know for certain

Is he is the one who makes my heart sing that song.

Maybe you are gone.
Maybe you were never here.
I will always pray

In your arms I was near.

Maybe this you will read.
Maybe nothing you have ever seen.
Regardless, my heart will always believe
Even if you never know of this love from me.
1932
I will always love you!
This will never stop
Even when the numbers no longer hop
That make my heart bobbity bop.

My love 4u

will always dream

of that one day
When I can say it 2u
