Departure
The Garden
As you leave the school for La Salle Road, you cannot help but notice the garden or quad. Over the years it has changed its appearance as new formats were introduced.
Back Entrance / Exit
The back exit of the school is a convenient short cut to Kowloon City. The steps leading up to Nga Chin Wai Road are pretty steep.

According to Brother Herman Fenton, the oldest living De La Salle Brother in Hong Kong, (aged 91 at time of writing), the lyrics of our School Song were written by Brother Marcian who was Principal of St. Joseph’s College 1921 ‘V 1922 and also Principal of a number of LaSallian schools in Malaysia. The melody, a French martial air, was supplied by Brother Cassian Brigant, Principal of La Salle College 1946 ‘V 1947. The School Song is beloved by generations of LaSallians and “when the old boys get together they will always sing this song”. The song reminds us to strive to realise our full potential on earth while not forgetting that “above is our true home”. The tune is catchy and stirring, rousing the sons of La Salle to indeed be “something more”.
