De La Salle works towards community service, advocacy and social justice education to ensure Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ rights are universally recognised and respected. 

INCLUSIVITY (Unity) 

De La Salle strives to be a place where diversity is respected, where no one is left out, and where everyone finds acceptance and a sense of belonging especially Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.  We value and recognise the cultures and heritages of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, as a proud part of our national identity.
