De La Salle College, Orange

De La Salle College, Orange was a Catholic boys' School located in Orange, New South Wales. It was located in Summer Street.

Patrician Brothers

The Patrician Brothers, an Irish order of Catholic teaching brothers, established a boys' school in Orange in 1890.[1] Fourteen ex-students died in World War I.[2]

The Patrician Brothers left Orange in 1927, when Bishop O'Farrell expelled the order from all schools in the Bathurst diocese following a dispute over syllabuses.[3]

De La Salle Brothers

The De La Salle Brothers arrived in 1928 to take over the school. Additions to the Summer Street site opened in 1937[4] with glass bricks "incorporating the most modern ideas in natural lighting,"[5] and a handball court in 1939.[6]

In 1977 the school was absorbed into the co-educational James Sheahan Catholic High School.[7]
