THE school community at De La Salle College have come together to celebrate the school’s recent successes. Joining staff were parents, representatives from the De Lasallian Order, NI Commissioner for Children and Young People Chris Quinn, Paul Maskey MP, Pat Sheehan MLA, Councillor Paul Doherty, as well as CCMS and EA representatives and a range of community partners who work with the school. One of the major successes highlighted was the outcome of the most recent ETI inspection report, which highlighted the excellent educational opportunities offered and praised the positive relationships between teachers and pupils. Speaking on behalf of the school's Board of Governors, Vice Chairperson Jennifer Ferguson, said: "We have a special mission to nurture and support our most vulnerable children. In keeping with the school’s Lasallian ethos, we welcome and will continue to welcome boys of all abilities. “As our Mission Statement acknowledges, the staff of De La Salle College believe in each and every one of our young men and work collectively to create a ‘place of opportunity’. Our staff understand that they are working with young people who are still developing and growing, and as a whole school community we encourage and support every pupil to grow and excel in everything they do. It is most welcome that the latest ETI Inspection report recognises the excellent work of all our school staff and this positive report is a worthy cause for celebration."
