Brief history and development
De La Salle Secondary School, N. T. was established in 1965 under the zealous leadership of its first Principal, Brother Felix Sheehan.
Among the Lasallian schools in Hong Kong, it has the distinction of being our only school with nature at its doorstep. The school has a grass football field and a large multi-purpose playground with basketball, handball and volleyball courts. There are also 2 covered areas, one where students can play badminton and the other where many extra-curricular activities are held.
With the support of teachers and parents, De La Salle Secondary School, N.T. has adopted Chinese as the medium of instruction.
At De La Salle, Forms 1 to 3 are streamed. Students in Forms 4, 5, 6 and 7 are placed in classes according to their interests in either arts or science. Forms 1 to 4 were all boys but Forms 5 to 7 were co-educational. Starting from 2007, all forms are now co-ed.
The school badge has as its motto Fides et Caritas—Faith and Love—which reminds the school community that their spiritual values should manifest true love in action.
De La Salle Secondary School, N.T., in keeping with good Lasallian tradition, fulfils a real need for quality education in the New Territories.
