ABOUT US
De La Salle College Ashfield was founded in 1916 by the De La Salle Brothers and was under their direction until 1972, when lay leadership commenced. Today, the Lasallian traditions and charism are still highly valued by all of the College community and remain at the heart of the College.
De La Salle is a Catholic College established in the tradition of St John Baptist De La Salle. St John Baptist De La Salle established schools for all those seeking education through Christ and his influence on education was recognised by the Church with his recognition as Patron Saint of all Teachers.
This school is built to aim a calm, affectionate and respectful environment for students and staff, to walk patiently with students through hard times, to congratulate them in times of success, to challenge them and to make every effort to touch their hearts.
The Lasallian school strives to provide a well-disciplined, academic and spiritual environment. We aim to provide an excellent education for the diversity of students of all abilities. We are a place where a student who has not succeeded elsewhere can find a second chance; where gifted students are encouraged to use their talents to excel and for students to offer service to their community.
