VISION
We aim to touch the hearts of the students confided to our care; in turn they touch the hearts of many
more in our society, our country, our world with the talents and virtues they developed in their young
years.

MISSION STATEMENT
The mission of St. Joseph’s College is to impart a Human and Christian education to those
entrusted to our care within the Lasallian family, and to do so with Faith and Zeal.
We strive to educate students in areas of moral, intellectual, physical, social, aesthetic and
emotional development. This process will take place in an environment conducive to learning
and in the context of interaction between staff and students.
Our mission is successful when our students
1. love their country, develop their talents and appreciate their culture;
2. understand and accept themselves and others;
3. think logically and critically and express themselves effectively;
4. clearly know what they believe and why they believe;
5. maintain physical fitness and mental health - avoiding excesses and abuses;
6. possess social awareness and a sense of responsibility for the common good.

SCHOOL MOTTO
Our College is named after Saint Joseph, and our school motto, "LABORE ET VIRTUTE" ( Work and Virtue )
sums up the life of this great Saint. He was a workingman, a carpenter by trade and his virtue made him
worthy to be the foster-father of Jesus Christ. This motto expresses the spirit of our school. It is by hard
work and virtue that a student will make a success of his life and so remains true to the best traditions of
SJC.

JOSEPHIAN SPIRIT
The Christian Brothers and their devoted school staff are willing to give you their best under
noble traditions. They are anxious that you make your own the Spirit of the School, and that you
pass on to future pupils of ST. JOSEPH'S COLLEGE the spirit you have inherited. School Spirit
can be seen in your loyalty to God, your commitment to your school duties and your care and
concern for others.
Your school therefore expects you to acquire good practices like:
Punctuality;
Respect for your teachers and schoolmates;
Personal discipline in behaviour and dress;
Obedience;
Honesty; and
Good sportsmanship.

SCHOOL HISTORY
SJC has a history of 148 years. It was established by the Christian Brothers (De La Salle Brothers) in the
nineteenth century. In 1875, six La Salle Brothers took over St. Saviour’s College, which was founded in
1860, and renamed it as St. Joseph’s College.

In 1876, the College expanded and moved from its original premises in Pottinger Street to a larger one
at 9 Caine Road, known as Buxley Lodge. Five years later, a lack of space again resulted in the College
being moved to Glenealy below Robinson Road. Then, in 1918, an earthquake caused severe damage to
the premises and the school had to move again to the present site – 7 Kennedy Road, formerly known
as the Club Germania (the German Club).

The Old Building where the S1-3 classrooms are now situated was erected in 1920; at that time the
number of students was about 650. In 1925, the Chapel Block was completed and in 1963 the block on
Kennedy Road was replaced by the present building. The New Building was opened by Sir Robert Black,
the then Governor of Hong Kong. In 1968, in order to admit more students, the primary section was
transferred to an independent establishment at 48 Wood Road, Wanchai. In 1974 St. Joseph’s
Kindergarten was established on the top floor of the Primary School Building.

In 2005, we started the process of building a new annex-Agabeg Annex, as an essential addition to the
modernization of our school facilities. The Annex was eventually established in the summer of 2007. It
is located at the former table tennis court, which is next to the basketball court under the New Building,
comprising a new staff room, an ITLC, an art room and a multi-purpose room. It is named after the late
Mr Godfrey Avryl Agabeg, a devoted alumnus who generously donated a total of three million dollars for
the development of our school campus.

In 2016, the Education Bureau allocated the vacant school premises at 26 Kennedy Road in the Central
& Western District to the Director in Hong Kong of St. Joseph’s College for the physical extension of the
St. Joseph’s College. The new facilities, which include classrooms for Secondary Four and Six students
and venues for a variety of extra-curricular activities, has come into service since September 2018.

After years of growth, SJC now provides education for around 2,000 students in the Primary and the
College. The College has produced highly competitive and versatile students, and a large number of them
have been successful in their careers.

POLICY ON HOMEWORK AND TESTS

1. Objectives
Homework and assessment contribute toward building responsibility, self-discipline and lifelong learning
habits. It is the intention of our teachers to assign relevant, challenging and meaningful homework
assignments and assessments that reinforce classroom learning objectives. Homework and assessments
should provide students with the opportunity to complete unfinished class assignments, apply
information they have learned, and develop independence.
Assignments and assessments include:
 Practice exercises to follow classroom learning
 Preview assignments to prepare for subsequent lessons
 Extension tasks to transfer new skills or concepts to new situations
 Creative activities to integrate multiple skills toward the production of a response or product
To promote a good understanding of the inter-relationship between the various knowledge and principles
and develop students’ problem-solving skill through applying the knowledge acquired, students are to sit
for written assessments in a continuous and regular manner. The level of difficulty of the assessments
should reflect the ability of students and the requirement of the course. The principal aims of the
assessment are to stimulate students’ learning and to evaluate the effectiveness of learning and teaching.
2. Roles and Responsibilities of Stakeholders
Teachers should
 assign relevant, challenging and meaningful homework and assessment task that reinforces
classroom learning
 give clear instructions and make sure students understand the task(s)
 mark the homework and assessment and/or give feedback
 keep accurate and thorough records of students’ performance
 communicate with other teachers about students’ performance
 involve parents and contact them if a pattern of late or incomplete homework develops

Students should
 write down assignments in their “Student Diary”
 understand the requirements of all assignments and assessments and take the initiative to ask
questions if necessary
 work on homework and assessment tasks independently whenever possible, which reflects their
learning outcome
 produce quality work
 make sure assignments are done according to the given instructions and completed on time

Parents of the junior form students should

 set a regular, uninterrupted study time with their child each day
 monitor students’ organization and daily list of assignments in their “Student Diary”
 assist students with the completion of assignments by means of guidance and advice
 be supportive when students get frustrated with difficult assignments and assessment
 contact teachers to stay well informed of the students’ learning progress

Page 12
School profile 2023-24

3. Late Work Policies

Students are expected to submit work on time. The failure to submit work on time frequently will be
dealt with, using any of the following at teachers’ discretion or year level policy.
 mark deduction
 zero mark
 communication with parents
 after school detention

Students who are unable to hand in homework due to an absence will be asked to do make-up work.
Students are granted a grace period for their submission of assignments in case of absence from school.
It is the students’ responsibility to catch up any missed work due to their absence from school.

For S. l - 3: The form-teacher of each class would assign one student to be responsible for putting down
all homework assigned each day and dates for assessments and tests on the blackboard. The assigned
homework each day and dates for assessments and tests should also be recorded in a special Assignment
Book kept by a specially assigned student for record purpose and future reference. Each student must
record all homework given and dates of assessments and tests in their own Student Diary.

Parents could log in our school eclass at http://eclass.sjc.edu.hk using your parent account, choose
eService and then eNotice to learn about Announcements, Circulars (Extra-Curricular Activities, Parent-
Teacher Association, and School Administration), Teaching and Learning (Assessment and Examination
Syllabuses, Assessment and Examination Schedules, and Teaching Syllabuses), and Extra-Curricular
Activities Calendar.

For S4 - 6: Like S. l - 3, the assigned homework each day and dates for assessments and tests would be
recorded in an “Assignment Book” kept by a specially assigned student.

The special Assignment Book for each class will be collected at the end of each term for inspection.

Examination is replaced by Mock Examination to be held in January and February.
2. Assessment Tests
These are uniform tests for S 1, 2 and 3. They are held twice a year, in October and March.

promotion to a higher form. The yearly result is composed of one-third of the half-yearly
exam score and two-thirds of the final exam score.

Whether a student is promoted or not is based on both his academic performance and
conduct over the whole academic year.

If the number of days of truancy amounts to one-third of the total number of school days
or more over an academic year (approximately 60 days, including post-exam activities and

application for sitting the final examination is made and approved by the school.

MEASURES FOR INCLEMENT WEATHER CONDITIONS

In light of the experience at times of tropical cyclones and heavy persistent rain, the school has
decided to have the following school measures for inclement weather conditions:
1. Students will not be penalized if they arrive late or cannot attend school because of poor
weather, road, slope, floods, and traffic or transport conditions.
2. On examination days, school will have special consideration for those who cannot return
to school or arrive late because of the aforementioned reason(s).
3. At times of tropical cyclone and heavy persistent rain or when the tropical cyclone signals
or rainstorm warnings are lowered and there is no announcement for the closure of schools
from the Education Bureau, parents should use their discretion in deciding whether or not
to send their children to school. If it seems to them that local weather, road, slope, traffic
or transport conditions at that time are still not completely normal, they should keep their
children at home. The parents (not the students) should inform the school office (3652
4888) by phone. The next day, the students should give a letter of explanation from their
parents and the student handbook to the form-teachers before school. If parents wish to
know whether the school will be closed at times of bad weather, they may phone the school
office.
4. If the Permanent Secretary for Education announces the closure of schools after some
students have set out for school or if schools are in session when the Permanent Secretary
for Education announces the immediate suspension of classes, the school will activate the
contingency plan to deal with closure of school or suspension of classes. The school
premises will remain open to ensure that students are kept in school until it is safe for them
to return home and the school will try to help look after the students arriving or leaving to
ensure their safety. Please be reminded that an announcement on closure of school or
suspension of classes does not mean that all students are to be sent home immediately.
5. Parents are strongly advised to visit our school website (http://www.sjc.edu.hk) for the most
updated school announcements.

SCHOOL RALLY
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 watchward to all.

(Chorus)
Forward, nor flinch nor fear, ever with hearts 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. (Repeat 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. (Repeat 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. (Repeat Chorus)
