Principal’s Message

Welcome to our college.

De La Salle Catholic College Cronulla seeks to provide an environment that perpetuates the work and charism of St John Baptist De La Salle. The college achieves its mission by providing programs that challenge students to do their best in an environment of strong pastoral care.

Today, the College caters for Years 11 and 12 girls and boys but will grow in 2024 to welcome our first Year 7 co educational cohort in conjunction with Years 11 and 12. During 2025-2027 while accommodating Years 11 and 12 students the College will continue to expand to include Years 8, 9 and 10 to be a fully fledged years 7 – 12 Catholic co-educational College offering both an academic and vocational pathway for families in the Eastern Shire.

With God as Leader,

Mr Stephen Mahoney
Principal

De La Salle Catholic College Cronulla - About Us - Our ParishWe celebrate all significant moments in out college calendar with liturgy, prayer and celebration and it is the expectation that all members actively participate.

Our major liturgies mark the opening of the school year and it is here we acknowledge the academic achievements of students from the previous HSC cohort. We celebrate Founder’s Day with a liturgy honouring St John Baptist De La Salle and the brothers of the college.

The graduation Mass marks the end of students’ time at the college and is a very special time for graduates and their families. We conclude the year with a Mass of Thanksgiving and award Year 11 students with their preliminary certificates.

On a smaller scale religion classes have the opportunity to celebrate Mass on a less formal basis in the classroom. Students play an important role in the choir, readings, the formal processions or organisation. As a community all participate as active members of the gathered assembly.
