Campus and Location
Campus
Our College's architecture is an interesting combination of traditional European and
modern styles. The Old Building, constructed in 1920, houses the Form 1 to 3
classrooms as well as the Form 4 & 5 art stream classrooms. The Chapel Block on
the west side houses the Old Hall, Music Room, Science Laboratories, Lecture Room
and School Chapel. The New Building, which replaced the original Club Germania on
the site, houses the Form 4 & 5 science stream classrooms as well as all Form 6
& 7 classrooms. The Physics, Chemistry and Biology laboratories as well as the
library and both junior and senior computer rooms are located in this building. The
New Hall is also part of this structure. Our primary and kindergarten sections now
occupy their own premises in Wood Road, Wan Chai.
Location
St. Joseph's College is comprised of three buildings: the old building which was
erected in 1920, the chapel block which was completed in 1925 and the new building
which was opened in 1963 by Sir Robert Black. 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. After years of expansion, St. Joseph's College now provides
education for about 4,200 students in the Kindergarten, Primary School and College.
Our College is located at 7 Kennedy Road which is only five minutes walk from
Central - the heart of Hong Kong - and our neighbours include St. Joseph's Church
and Hong Kong Park. St. Joseph's Path, which joins Kennedy Road and Garden Road,
runs along the east side of our College.
