Christian Values, Respect, Teamwork, Enjoyment, Discipline & Success. Year 7 2017-2018 Christian Values, Respect, Teamwork, Enjoyment, Discipline & Success.

Ethos Mr Turner De La Salle is a Christian school within the Lasallian family of schools. Our Ethos is very important to us and we believe it makes us unique. We believe that God created each of us with unique & special talents. Some of us will excel academically, others through sport or through social interaction.

Ethos Our knowledge of the boys as individuals is very important to us. The boys are expected to learn how to work together as a team. They will understand their own strengths but they also need to value the strengths of those around them.

Ethos- Pastoral Mr Sharrock Boys learn from those around them. Our House system is designed to facilitate this. Boys from DLS Primary will be placed in the same house as those from external primary schools. They will act as peer mentors to aid transition to De La Salle. The boys will learn from older boys who will practically demonstrate our ways.

Ethos- Academic Mr White During the course of the year you will have two interim reports and one full report. There will be a parents evening on the XXXX for you to meet your son’s teachers. In the Spring term you will have one to one parent consultation meetings with your son’s teachers. Finally in the Summer term you will have a one to one meeting with your son’s House tutor to discuss how the year has gone and to set targets for Year 8.

Ethos- Spiritual Mr Cook De La Salle is a disciplined environment and the boys are expected to behave appropriately. We accept that boys will make mistakes and our behaviour system is designed to reward positive behaviour (merits) and correct negative behaviour (demerits). Reconciliation is key to our discipline system; boys make mistakes, we encourage them to be open about them, accept the consequences and seek to put right their error.

Ethos- Spiritual Our House system is designed to support our community. Houses are Peary Stanley Rhodes Scott
