Message from Principal

St. Joseph's College is one of the most prestigious schools in Hong Kong with a long tradition and heritage of 145 years. Twenty-seven years ago, I stepped into SJC in great anticipation on the first day of school, and embarked on my journey of teaching Josephians Chinese. Today, I am greatly honoured to have the opportunity to serve SJC as the 30th Principal. In time of pandemic, learning and teaching in the new normal would be very challenging. I strongly believe that together with a team of dedicated and passionate staff, we could overcome whatever challenges ahead.


Have you ever been daunted by a Mathematics question, over which you scratched your head in puzzlement? As long as we do not give up, we can make it through. Remember how happy and excited you were the moment you figured out the answer after days of hard thinking?


Have you ever been discouraged by a series of mishaps in preparation for the Open Day? As long as we do not give up, we can make it through. Remember how content and satisfied you were when this large-scale annual event concluded successfully?


Have you ever been disheartened by harsh athletic trainings at the expense of sleep and relaxation? As long as we do not give up, we can make it through. Remember how delirious with joy you were when you were crowned the Champion?


Similarly, in face of the new normal, we must not lose courage but brave the challenges. As long as we do not give up, we can make it through. Together with our professional staff, I am confident that we would continue to unleash our students' potential to the fullest by constantly trying out new ways of learning and teaching with an open mind over this trying period of time.


You are welcome to visit SJC on the annual Open Day. I would be more than happy to share with you the many legacies of St. Joseph's College.

Principal
