The De la Salle Secondary School is in Port Moresby.  The school started on the 25th of Feb 1946 (just after WWII ended) by the De La Salle Brothers (for the Catholic Church) as a primary school with 83 male students.

 

Eighteen years later the school was upgraded to a secondary school level on the site of the original primary school in Bomana. The first principal for De La Salle Secondary School (or high school then) on the 12th of Feb 1964 was Br Patrick Howard and among the first school staff was Br Peter Keaga, the first PNG De La Salle brother. 

 

Some former De La Salle Secondary School students are (only to name a few): former PNG Prime Minister the late Sir William (Bill) Skate; Kandrian-Gloucester MP Joseph Lelang; country leader at General Electric PNG Peter Loko; and Enga provincial police commander George Kakas.
