Principal’s Welcome

Welcome from the Acting Principal

Welcome to De La Salle College.

It is a privilege to lead a school that has been at the heart of the West Belfast community for sixty years. As a proud West Belfast woman and a mother of three boys, I understand how important it is that young people feel known, valued and supported to become the very best version of themselves.

As a Lasallian school, we are inspired by the vision of St John Baptist de La Salle and a belief in the dignity and worth of every person. 

While much has changed since our school first opened its doors, our commitment to serving young people and our community remains as strong as ever.

Our motto, "A Place of Opportunity: Where Every Journey Matters," captures what De La Salle is all about. Every pupil arrives with their own story, talents, interests and ambitions. 

Our role is to help them grow in confidence, discover their strengths and leave us ready for the next stage of their journey.

What makes De La Salle special is our people. We are proud of the strong relationships that exist between pupils, staff, families and the wider community. By working in partnership, we create opportunities for young people to learn, contribute, develop, lead and succeed, both inside and beyond the classroom.
