St. Joseph's College Branch School 聖若瑟書院分校 /
The predecessor of La Salle College, the mother school of Bruce Lee.
Built in 1917, now Windsor Mansion 29-31 Chatham Road South
Brother Aimar was the man whose vision and courage led to the eventual establishment of La Salle College. In the 20's, the Government encouraged people to buy land around Kowloon Tong and to set up a residential area. The shift of the Portugese Community from Hong Kong Island made the establishment of a Catholic school there imperative..............
On 6 January, the College opened its doors officially to 540 pupils in 14 classes......
A branch of St. Joseph's College had already functional at Chatham Road since 1917 but very soon, the need for a larger school was evident. So in 1924 Brother Director Aimar roamed the hills of Kowloon in search of a site and eventually found it.
