History

De La Salle Caringbah was established in 1958 as a Years 5–10 boys school and eventually settled to educate Year 7–10 students. Our Lady of Mercy College, Burraneer Bay is the Years 7-10 girls school. Students from both schools then transfer to De La Salle Catholic College Cronulla for Years 11–12.

De La Salle Caringbah was founded after there was thought to be a need for a Catholic Boys High School in the area. On 28 January 1958, 65 students began the first class in the basement of the old Our Lady of Fatima Church. By 1963 the current college building was built.

Notable former students
gollark: I just use the AOSP keyboard and overmuch predictive text for my phone typing needs, or an actual keyboard for anything typey.
gollark: WHY
gollark: There really is a Wordart, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Wordart is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Wordart is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Wordart added, or GNU/Wordart. All the so-called Wordart distributions are really distributions of GNU/Wordart!
gollark: Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called Wordart, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.
gollark: I'd just like to interject for moment. What you're refering to as Wordart, is in fact, GNU/Wordart, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Wordart. Wordart is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
