Faced with declining vocations, the Brothers returned to the eastern states at the end of 1971. A College Board of Management was appointed by the Archbishop and Brother Fitzhardinge, a Christian Brother, was appointed headmaster. The name of the school was changed to La Salle College. In 1973 the girls from St Brigid’s Convent were relocated to the College resulting in La Salle becoming one of the first co-educational schools within Catholic education in WA.
