De La Salle College Cronulla is a Catholic systemic, senior secondary, co-educational day school, located in Cronulla, a southern suburb of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.

Established in 1936 by the De La Salle Brothers, the college currently caters for approximately 460 Years 11 and 12 students[1] from the Sutherland Shire parishes of the Archdiocese of Sydney.[citation needed][clarification needed] The College is under the patronage of the Archbishop of Sydney, George Pell.[citation needed]

De La Salle College is one of 18 Lasallian Schools in Australia,[2] and in 1994 appointed its first lay headmaster.

The school is also affiliated with the Catholic Secondary Schools Association NSW/ACT,.[3]

History

The De La Salle Brothers purchased a bushland property, 'Kilkivan Grange,' in 1936 for the purpose of a College for Catholic boys and used an existing house on the property for boarding students.

Brother Donatus Slattery was appointed the inaugural Principal of De La Salle College Cronulla in 1936 and was a much-loved gentle man who died in Sydney in 1962.

From 1936 to 1967, students from Primary classes to Leaving Certificate level attended the College, but in 1967, in co-operation with the nearby De La Salle College in Caringbah, the present structure of a Senior College for Years 11 and 12 only was established.

In 1975, the College admitted girls for the first time, accepting school certificate graduates from Our Lady of Mercy College, Burraneer.

In 1990 the College became part of the Sydney Archdiocesan system of schools, administered by the Catholic Education Office.

Former Principal Brother Stan Carmody (died 5 Feb 2011 aged 92) encouraged the development of the senior Rugby League team which produced NRL greats such as Jonathan Docking and Andrew Ettingshausen.[4]

In 1994 the first lay principal was appointed.
