Dear Members of the Hong Kong Lasallian Family,
Welcome back students, staff and parents!
What a joy it is to open our school doors again on September 1, 2025, and look forward to the exciting months ahead. We hope you all had a restful and enriching summer, filled with time for family, new experiences, and moments of service to others. Now, let’s embrace the opportunities this new academic year brings!
As we embark on this journey together, let’s reflect on the timeless wisdom of our founder, St. John Baptist de La Salle:
“Do not be afraid of difficulties, but overcome them with joy.”
This quote reminds us that challenges are a natural part of life and learning. Instead of being daunted, we are encouraged to face them with optimism and a positive spirit. It’s through overcoming these hurdles, together and with joy, that we truly grow and learn.
This year is particularly special as we continue to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the Lasallian Mission in Hong Kong! We have a vibrant calendar of events planned that will strengthen our bonds and celebrate our rich heritage. Get ready for impactful initiatives like the Medical Outreach, the adventurous Camino de La Salle, the energetic Joint Lasallian Primary Schools Sports Fiesta, and the insightful LEAD School Leaders Congress. These activities are wonderful opportunities for us to connect, learn, and live out our Lasallian values.
A significant date to mark in our calendars is November 7. This day holds immense importance for the Hong Kong Lasallian Family as it marks the official day the De La Salle Brothers first arrived in Hong Kong in 1875. It’s a powerful reminder of the humble beginnings of our enduring mission and the incredible legacy built over a century and a half.
Let’s make this academic year one of growth, discovery, and continued celebration of our shared Lasallian spirit. We’re so excited for what the months ahead hold!
Fraternally yours,
Br Dennis Magbanua FSC
Head of the Hong Kong Lasallian Family
