Former Principals of St Joseph's School

xx
This post is a tribute to those great men (for the first 106 years from the Mill Hill Fathers and De La Salle Brothers) who have given so much of their lives since 1882 to lead, build and develop St Joseph's School, the institution which has provided the finest education for most of us.

The years in brackets indicate the period they served as Principal.

Rev. Fr. Aloysius Goossens
(1882-1884)

Rev. Fr. Anthony Heidegger
(1884-1931)


Rev. Fr. Aloysius Hopfgartner
(1931-1934)


Rev. Fr. John Vos
(1934-1941; 1945-1948)

Rev. Fr. Adrian de Vos
(1948-1949)


Rev. Bro. Patrick
(1950-1955)


Rev. Bro. Henry
(1955-1960)


Rev. Bro. Hilary McGroary
(1960-1963)


Rev. Bro. Albinus O'Flaherty
(1963-1969)


Rev. Bro. Columba Gleeson
(1970-1988)


Mr Gerald Lee
(1988-1999)

Mr Leonard Chang
(short period in 2000)

Mr Dominic Pan
(2000-2008)


Profound gratitude to all these leaders of St Joe. Many of us would not be what we are today without them and the teachers who moulded our learning and values.

We will feature the principals of St Joseph's Primary School later.

  3. Bro Columba has hardly changed. Some of us met him earlier this year and he looked almost the same as before.
