Student Life

We know that our boys learn best when they are valued, have a deep sense of security and are supported to take the risks that will help them to develop further. We want our boys to achieve their full potential, enjoying learning that offers a sense of challenge and fun. Our work in the area of student wellbeing is deeply collaborative work. It is shared, and reciprocal learning that enhances other learning programs and enrichment opportunities such as the Personal Development Program.

Ultimately, we are working to ensure our boys grow into driven, discerning and considerate men. Our Lasallian tradition places particular emphasis on inclusion and the unique gifts of each individual person. As Saint John Baptist de La Salle would attest, children and young people who are happy, confident and able to establish meaningful relationships are better placed to achieve positive learning outcomes. De La Salle provides a safe and effective environment that contributes to positive learning outcomes and the wellbeing of students, staff and the broader community. I am regularly inspired by the leadership, courage and genuine care our boys display when they are out in the community. True community service is an attitude; something you do because it is right and just. Our boys regularly rise and display immeasurable courage when the going gets tough. Courage, character and commitment are fostered in communities that care. All of those qualities are demonstrated in the pastoral team that support and challenge our boys to be their best.
