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.
