De La Salle College, Belfast

De La Salle College is a Catholic boys' secondary school and college in Belfast, Northern Ireland. As of 2018 the school's enrollment was around 1,100.

History

La Salle enrolled its first 275 students in September 1966. The head of the school was Brother Cornelius.[1] La Salle Secondary School became known as La Salle Boys School.

The school continued to operate on its original site while using the old Cross and Passion site on the Glen Road. The Junior School (years 8-10) used the Glen Road site from the late 1980s before consolidating at one site at Edenmore Drive, following the completion of a new building. The old buildings were suffering from severe dilapidation after almost 40 years. In 2009 construction was completed. At this time it became known as De La Salle College.

The college also serves as an Entertainment Venue and Multi-sports venue in after school hours.
