In April 1967 the Chan family approached the Jesuits to ask if they would be interested in taking over the running of a secondary school to the building of which they intended contributing in memory of their father MR. CHAN SUI KI, a successful merchant and one time President of the Tung Wah Group of Hospitals -- a well known charitable organization in Hong Kong. Not wishing to accept the offer themselves, Fr. Cronin, the Provincial, proposed the offer to the La Salle Brothers. Eventually, it was decided that La Salle College accept the offer and transfer the existing evening school operating in La Salle College to the new building. The evening school under the supervision of Brother Herman Fenton operated from 3:00 until about 8:00 p.m. The government would provide the site and an 80% subsidy. The Chan family would donateHK$500,000 . ^[1]

In December, 1968 work began on the site. In April 1969 the foundation stone was laid by the then Director of Education, Mr. Gregg, and on September 3 the school moved into the classroom block -- 951 students and 34 teachers all told. All the while work on the school hall and the laboratories, library, geography, art-room, etc. and the Brothers' quarters (which unhappily provide an accommodation for only four) continued until December 12 when the building authority inspected the completed building in preparation for giving the final occupation permit. The official blessing and opening ceremony was performed on February 12, 1970 by Rev. Father Colombo P. P. and the Hon. J. Canning, Director of Education, respectively. ^[1]
