The College is proud of its pupils who hold provincial and national colours in various disciplines, and of those who participate just for the love of the game!

De La Salle Holy Cross College is situated in Victory Park, Johannesburg. Our #OneCollege is shared over two campuses with St Charles Catholic Church located in the centre. Our Junior School caters for Grades RR to 6 and the Junior High and High School accommodating Grades 7 – 12. Each campus has a vast array of exceptional academic and sporting facilities with ample space and excellent resources for our academic, spiritual, and specialised sports and culture programmes.
Our many sporting facilities include a flood-lit Aquatic Centre, comprising a FINA approved 25m, 10-lane pool. For our younger children, an additional Learn-to-Swim pool provides a separate and secure space to acquire essential water safety skills. Our 33 Central Coffee Shop, Tuckshop and Commercial Kitchen, is an ideal meeting and entertainment hub for our school community. Rugby and soccer fields, netball, tennis, and basketball courts provide for a variety of sporting activities throughout the year.
Each campus boasts a school hall with seating capacity for 500 guests, with fully equipped modern sound and lighting for major theatre productions, assemblies and a wide range of exciting events. The state-of-the-art auditorium caters for smaller, more intimate audiences. Both campuses host their own Wellness Centres, well-resourced Science Laboratories, Libraries, Information Technology Centres, Music Rooms, specialist classrooms for visual and creative arts, and more. The Prayer Room and Chapel are two of our most cherished venues at the College.
