The Real Truth
Bad school dont send ur kids here
I honestly do not understand why parents think that la salle is a good school. The principal is so controlling and crazy. Every day learners complain but they are not heard! teachers also know that school is not fun. Every day is just learning and there is nothing fun about that there isn't even a day when the learners just have fun. This school is so horrendous and Racism & favoritism in this school are big issues.
Teachers are so rude and some of them tell the learners that they are failing, in FRONT OF EVERYONE! just because this school is IEB does not mean it's good this school is so bad don't send your kids here you pay 70k a year for your kids to feel depressed. The principal is like a dictator even the prefects say that La Salle is like a prison there are so many unnecessary rules.
Teachers are so bad, our parents pay 70k but we teach the teachers and they move very slowly with work. I hate this school with my whole heart

Endgame
End of the year and the reviews i continue to give this school further resume to be absolutely abysmal, and each and every review i give no lies are given, it is pure facts. A side of the school that they do not want you to see but still remain so ignorant to show it to the learners (and teachers) within. it is atrocious, it is absolutely disgusting how ignorant this school is, i have little care to whether some of those decisions were a mistake or not, it is abysmal. Forgive me for conducting this review in such a dysfunctional manner but my voice must be heard! I hope the school sees this review and i hope parents too. AND I AM VERY SURE THAT I SPEAK FOR THE MAJORITY WHEN I SAY I AM NOT HAPPY AT THAT SCHOOL. Maybe one day that board of directors or management system will change into something better because as of now? THERE IS NO PASSION AND THERE IS NO VISION IN THIS SCHOOL. i rest my case!
Don't send your kids to that hellhole.
This school is actually so horrendous
There's a teacher who talks about her family more than she actually teaches.
Parents pay R70000 a month for their children to be controlled please don't send your kids here they will end up killing themselves.
They do not listen to the learners they just tell you "if you don't like the school then leave"
This school is probably the worst school in South Africa.
All the kids are demotivated, they want to die because of this school man Reinforcements need to be put here!

Reinforcements Needed!
this school has just been getting worse and worse as time goes by. for such a small private school, we have such little subjects, when the students suggest fundraisers they are always declined, its as if all that money we pay for goes to the teachers pockets rather than fixing the school. the environment is toxic, mainly because of the lies and hypocrisy present amongst most of the teachers who work at the school. there are a few decent teachers that i believe can definitely make a good change to the school, but they cant do anything because it seems as if each time you try and point out some issues in this school, your opinion is shut out and your feelings aren’t considered. i myself would love to take this up with the principal but i already know they’re going to tell me “if you dont like this school then leave” when we are only trying to help. school should be a fun learning environment, a place where kids can learn and be happy, not a place where it feels as if the children here are held captive. they need to listen to how we feel more often. not trying to show any hate, just making a point.
Don't enroll kids at La salle college
Don't be fooled. La salle is not what it use to be. Standards have gone down dramatically principal is paranoid and rules school like a dictatorship , favouritism and intimidation is rife.
Academic marks is shocking. Only 5 of the class of 2021 made it to university,
Bullying is rife and management allows it to continue with the support of the board

BAD SCHOOL!
La Salle College is a bad school, it does not understand the fact that we as kids need to do some fun to keep them motivated. Ever since this principal came into power, everything has gone south, the fun has been taken out of school, we can't even wear beanies; play soccer; or interact with other grades.
If you hate your child, then sure send her/him there.

I said what i said.
bro this school is like jail, its not worth the money, they don’t even take sports seriously over there. at this point you taking your child to an asylum with the crazy rules they put in place, imagine now you cant even wear beanies even when its a winter day.
.Only freed from the shackles once a year
LaSalle is like a concentration camp So wish we had more fun subjects and fun events for a small IEB school.
Litrally not school dance, no fun art markets or science fares, no robotics clubs not even the primary school kids have the chance to experiance a good day having inflatables around for a day its so sad that la salle is strict or inconsiderate like that for the amount of school fees paid It doesn't make sense. Rather take your kid to De Lasalle honestly cause their school is fun they have all sorts of school events and equally does well academically

The rating
La salle college is a great school and has great teachers and traditions. The school is well disciplined and the learners are friendly. I recommend this school wholeheartedly as it’s very underrated.
Bullying at La Salle College
La salle college is not a great school.I left the school because of a bullying problem
The students there are not kind nor friendly whatsoever.
My mom and I reported the bullying but the principle did nothing about it so we reported it again and still he did nothing.The girls that were responsible for the bullying were never reprimanded therefore we decided to leave the school.

Specialties in La Salle College
La Salle is a very strict and deciplined school. The teachers are outstanding and have great ways of teaching us IEB ways.They are fast at teaching but are very advising with the work we do.Our principle is an amazing lady MRS Whittle she has made the school bright and amazing for students to learn there are amazing pupils and everyone is friendly and kind. There are also fun activities other than acedemics there are sports one sport I love in La Salle is the swimming they have taught me the right way to do my methods and have considered those who can't swim to show them how to swim. They take sport activities very serious especially when it comes to competitions as we are very competitive. Our chess team has won many tournaments as well as Public speaking which I've been taking has a very well spoken team and we are willing to go for the tournament soon. My name is Shekinah Keshana Pavadai and I am in grade 8 and I love La Salle College and I can't see a better school than this one.
