Sport
De La Salle College has a proud sporting tradition. Sport is considered a high priority and an integral part of each student’s education and is compulsory for every student at the College, whether it be at the elite or recreational level. If a student has the ability to represent the College he is expected to do so.
As members of the Associated Catholic Colleges’ Victorian competition, high quality interschool competition is offered to Years 7–12 students in the major carnivals of swimming, athletics, cross-country running, and with tennis, cricket, Australian Rules football, soccer, hockey, basketball, tennis, golf, table tennis, volleyball and chess. Our students are also involved in state level competitions in cycling, weight lifting, lacrosse, triathlon, futsal and beach volleyball.
Years 7 students also participate in Rally Days involving these sports. Primary students participate in inter-school sports and Lightning Premiership Netball, Soccer, Softball and Football days.
Our college also provides opportunities for students to experience a number of cultural and social sporting activities. We currently run a senior football trip to Perth which incorporates a visit and competitive match with Clontarf Indigenous Football Academy and a Senior Cricket Tour to Adelaide. We are in the process of expanding these initiatives to include other sports as well as incorporate other significant experiences to enrich the sporting program here at De La Salle.
Our primary objective of our program is to instil in our students a love of sport which will encourage the boys to enjoy a lifelong involvement in sport.
