Our Vision & Values
At De La Salle College, we’re not just a learning community; we embody the very essence of personal excellence. Our mission extends beyond education; we aim to ignite a passion for greatness in every student, in all facets of their lives.
Our mission is clear: to prepare our young men not only to thrive in society but to lead it. With a foundation deeply rooted in the Lasallian faith experience, we instil in our students the values of respect, inclusion, and the desire to welcome all.
Respect is at the heart of everything we do. It defines our interactions within the college and shapes our approach to the world beyond our gates. This ethos is crucial as we cultivate young minds to advance the ideals and principles of democracy – valuing elected government, the rule of law, equal rights, freedom of religion and speech, and a commitment to openness and tolerance.
Our curriculum and extracurricular programs are designed to nurture future citizens who are not only aware of their democratic rights and responsibilities but are also prepared to defend and promote them.
Education for Every Student
De La Salle College proudly upholds an academically non-selective, open enrolment policy. We provide the infrastructure, support, and technology needed for every student to achieve his personal and professional aspirations.
Mission
De La Salle College is more than a Catholic Boys’ College; it’s a community where students are empowered to LEARN to their fullest potential, LIVE according to Lasallian values, and LEAD with conviction and spirit.
Vision and Philosophy
Our foundation is built on over a century of tradition and innovation. We stand as a testament to Lasallian education, emphasising academic excellence, innovation, and a supportive Christian community. Here, young men are prepared for the future, discovering their potential and mission within a faith-filled environment. Our commitment extends to serving the marginalised and fostering respect for all.
Our Values
Our Lasallian ethos guides, nurtures, and challenges us, driving all our endeavours. We are a part of the global Lasallian network, striving for educational excellence that is meaningful, relevant, and creative in the 21st century. Our values are reflected in the five core principles set forth by St John Baptist de La Salle:
- Respect for all people: Honouring the dignity of every individual.
- Quality education: Fostering curiosity, creativity, critical thinking, and striving for excellence.
- Inclusive community: Celebrating diversity and welcoming all.
- Concern for the poor and social justice: Standing in solidarity with the marginalised and advocating for the voiceless.
- Faith in the presence of God: Recognising the living presence of God in our community and the world.
