Learning

With an emphasis on consolidating core knowledge, skills and understanding, our curriculum enables students to develop a deep sense of themselves, others and the wider world.

De La Salle students are supported and challenged all the way from the small family environment in Years 5 – 6 to the larger cohorts of Years 7 and 8. In Year 9, student learning is focused on solving real-world problems, developing teamwork and independence. At Year 10, students are encouraged to explore the diverse academic options, with a view to selecting the best pathway through VCE or VCE Vocational Major in Year 11 or VCAL in Year 12.

We know that every student learns differently. That’s why our Specialised Programs, including Accelerated, Gift and Talented Education, STRIVE Program and Education Support programs and services, enable all students to reach their potential.
