History:
Founded in 1912, De La Salle College provides a Catholic education in the Lasallian tradition for students in Years 5 - 12. A non-zoned Catholic boys’ school; De La Salle College welcomes students throughout the Melbourne metropolitan area.
Established over a century ago with 54 boys in a parish hall, our College now educates over 1,000 students across three campuses – Tiverton, Holy Eucharist and Kinnoull. Each campus is aligned for each stage of your son’s development. The College has an open enrolment policy and provides a contemporary learning community that encourages and supports personal excellence.
Description:
At De La Salle, boys’ education is our speciality. Our tailored approach to learning, wellbeing and personal growth recognises the unique journey of each student. With expert teaching, hands-on experiences, strong pastoral care and innovative programs, we help every boy discover his strengths, passions and purpose.
De La Salle is more than just a school – it’s a vibrant, inclusive community where lifelong friendships are formed. Through our House system, co-curricular programs and leadership opportunities, boys develop confidence, resilience and a strong sense of belonging.
Our five core values – Faith, Respect, Inclusivity, Social Justice and Education – guide our College culture, creating a safe and supportive environment where boys feel challenged to achieve, while always knowing they are cared for.
Our academic offering is broad and personalised. Programs such as Accelerated Learning, Gifted and Talented Education, the Year 10 STRIVE Program and targeted Education Support cater for diverse learning needs. A strong STEM focus is balanced with rich opportunities in the Arts and our High-Performance Sport Program.
In Senior Years, students can complete the VCE through both the traditional and Vocational Major pathways, with the option to incorporate VET studies. Beyond the classroom, our Domestic and International Tours and Immersion Programs give students the chance to build global awareness, independence, compassion and resilience.
