If young men are honest with themselves and others they will grow to be good men in the fulfilment of God’s plan for them. If young men at La Salle College respect themselves, others, and property, they will grow, aware of their responsibility to others and the environment. They will learn that rights are earned, and that honesty and respect are two core values of the ‘social contract’ upon which all modern societies depend. In this way La Salle College incorporates the five key values of the Hong Kong Secondary School curriculum - responsibility, commitment, perseverance, respect for others, and national identity.
La Salle College has two mottos, one in Latin, the other Chinese. The Latin motto Fides et Opera, means faith and works – that at La Salle College we are motivated by faith and good work.
