Ethos

De La Salle College, Waterford was founded in 1891 by the De La Salle Brothers and serves as a Catholic school for boys. The aim of De La Salle College is to develop an atmosphere of friendliness, discipline and co-operation where everyone can experience respect, encouragement and support. While every school is a community in which adults and young people live and work together, the Lasallian school is inspired by the vision of St. John Baptist De La Salle, that Gospel values must permeate the life of a Christian school in such a way that students internalise those values and reflect them in their behaviour. All who work in the College constantly strives to make De La Salle College a welcoming institution. Our behaviour management strategies and pastoral care structures are built on the principles of justice and fairness. We endeavour to fulfil our mission in partnership with parents / guardians, staff, students, trustees and the community.

The role of the Animation Team is to promote, encourage and support the Lasallian ethos within our school. This offers an opportunity to promote a positive environment in the College, through which the Lasallian core principles will continue to be visible and lived each day.
