History of S.F.X.S.
In 1893, the Marist Brothers were invited to teach
in
St. Francis Xavier's College, Shanghai, which was founded by
the Jesuit Fathers. In 1896, our Brothers were given
full responsibility for the College.
After the College was re-organized in 1950, our Brothers
came to
Hong Kong and gave religious instruction in St. Martin's English School.
Two years later, the Brothers were asked to take over
St. Martin's.
In 1954, with the help of the Education Department,
new school premises were built at the junction of
Maple Street and Sycamore Street.
This is our Brother school, St. Francis Xavier's College, Kowloon.
- 1964 S.F.X.S. Outlook.
During the early 60 years, the ex-British
Hong Kong Government
intended to develop Tsuen Wan to be a new town.
Due to the rapid increase in the population in Tsuen Wan
and extremely high rate of demand on secondary school
(There was only one secondary school in T.W. at that period),
Rev. Bro. Bosco Wei representing the Marist Brothers (the First Principal
of SFXS)
decided to found a college in Tsuen Wan so as to foster outstanding youngsters.
