St. Joseph's Anglo-Chinese School (Chinese: 聖若瑟英文中學; often abbreviated as SJACS) is an aided boys' secondary school in Kwun Tong District,[1] Hong Kong. Founded in 1958 by Rev. Bro. Paul Sun, it was the first secondary school located in Kwun Tong. It is a Catholic school affiliated with the Diocese of Hong Kong. The patron saint of the school is Saint Joseph, and the school anniversary day is 19 March, the feast of St. Joseph.
History
The school was founded by Rev. Bro. Paul Sun in 1958 in a villa on Kwun Tong Road, now the premise of St. Joseph's Anglo-Chinese Primary School (SJACPS). At first, the primary and secondary sections operated together. In 1967, the secondary section moved to 61 Kwun Tong Road, which is now the ex-premise. In 2008, the school celebrated its Golden Jubilee, and in January 2011 moved to Jordan Valley New Campus.
In the academic year of 2017–18, the school celebrated its 60th Anniversary (Diamond Jubilee), whose celebrations included several open days and carnivals, facility upgrades, the Diamond Jubilee Walkathon, Brother Paul Sun's Memorial Rites, and several others, all with the theme of "Homecoming" - featuring alumni as the star of the theme. Due to the packed frequency of events, the cancellation of the second term joint-test was required.
