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 (SJC) is 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.
 We believe that our mission and spirit 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 believe that in co-operation with parents we work to form the minds and characters of
students and become transformed in the process as teacher and student help each other grow as
persons.
 We believe that success in school means more than good examination results. Students must
learn how to learn, to think and to live virtuously.
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.

SCHOOL HISTORY
SJC has a history of 141 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.
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. Homework and assessment grades can be modified based on students’ individual
needs.
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 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
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
Page 12
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.

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

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)
