De La Salle College

Our Enrolment Policy

De La Salle College is proudly an open entry, non-zoned Catholic Boys College. Places are offered as per our Enrolment Policy as follows:

  • First priority: Brothers of boys who are already attending the College. This is based on a principle of equal opportunity within a family.
  • Second priority: Sons/grandsons of former students.
  • Third priority: Baptised Catholic boys from Catholic primary schools.
  • Fourth priority: Baptised Catholic boys from non-Catholic primary schools.

When places are available, the College does accept non-Catholic families who desire a strong values-based education for their son in the Christian tradition.

All students are expected to participate in the Religious Education program of the College.

How do I Enrol my Son?

Applications for enrolment must be made on the College’s Application for Enrolment Form.
For more information please call our Admissions Team on 9508 2100 or email our Registrar.

Application fee

The application fee is $65 including GST. This fee must be paid before an application can be processed. The application fee is not refundable. Please note that an application for enrolment does not constitute an offer of a place.

When Should I Enrol my Son?

Applications are accepted from birth. We suggest that families apply to enrol their son as early as possible. It is not until closer to the intake year that parents are required to commit themselves to the enrolment.

Applications are sorted first into the enrolment priority groups and secondly into date of application order, with the earliest application date holding the highest position. By submitting the application early, you will secure a higher position on the wait list.
