Giving Opportunities
De La Salle College has grown and developed over its more than 110-year history through the generosity and giving of a great many selfless men and women since the school first commenced in 1912.
Your support allows the college to invest in our facilities, in students and in resources that enhance the educational experience for all our students both now and into the future.
Your gift, whether large or small, has a real and positive impact on De La Salle College and on our educational mission.
Building Fund
Provide a gift to the Building Fund and enhance the learning environment for students.
The college is continuously looking to provide innovative physical spaces that enhance learning and meet the future needs of students. A gift to the De La Salle College Building Fund will help ensure that our students have access to modern resources and facilities that enhance both learning and wellbeing.
All gifts over $2 to our Building Fund are tax deductible within Australia.
Scholarship / Bursary Fund
Provide a gift to the Scholarship Fund and give forward to future generations of students.
By providing a gift for Scholarships, you can support students whose financial circumstances would prevent them from attending De La Salle.
Means tested Scholarships enable students to be able to access a De La Salle College education.
A transformational gift to Scholarships can make a significant difference to the lives of many students; this can be for a limited period or in perpetuity.
Library Fund
Donations to the Library Fund ensure that our physical and digital collections contribute to the development of our students and foster a love of reading and life-long learning skills.
Bequests
Leave a Gift in your Will.
A bequest to De La Salle College, no matter the size, provides a lasting benefit to the school and its students. It is in fact an investment in the future of the college and in the generations of students to come.
“The true meaning of life is to plant trees under whose shade you do not expect to sit.”

Welcome to the Jean Baptiste Society
The Jean Baptiste Society was established to recognise and honour the generosity of those who have chosen to leave a gift to De La Salle College in their Will whilst still alive.
Members of the Jean Baptiste Society maintain a close and enduring connection to the College through an annual lunch or dinner, special events, advance tours of new facilities and other activities. Your generous gift will be recognized in selected College publications unless you wish to remain anonymous. While we encourage everyone who has included De La Salle College in their Will to notify us, we understand that some may not seek recognition.
“I am grateful to the College for not only the education I received but the life values the College helped me develop as a young man and the direction those values provided for my working life.
I am confident that my gift will allow future students similar opportunities to those I experienced and help them develop into their best selves whilst at the College and beyond.”
Paul Shannon (OC 1971), Bequestor and member of the Jean Baptiste Society
