Lasalle

La Salle House started the year with a bang!

The first House competition was Senior House Athletics. The aim for this House competition was to have every La Salle student in an event.  The inspirational grand entrance by our Year 12 students clearly set the triumphant tone for the day as La Salle House was victorious!

Additionally, the Hackett Mile was also run during Term One and La Salle had great success in this long distance running event. The Year 11 La Salle runners took the gold and silver. Congratulations to Matt Crowley (1st) and Lachlan Wigney (2nd).

Although La Salle House is inspirationally led by House Captain Michael McWeeney and his two Vice-Captains, Nelson McKiggan and Callum Linehan, all students in our House are considered leaders in their own right. La Salle House also has fifteen reliable Tutor Group Captains also serving as terrific role models for their peers.

Community Service

and fundraising, La Salle House students should be very proud of their contributions to the largest amount of money raised by St Bede’s College students for Mission Action Day (MAD). La Salle House raised over $5000! These funds will be used to help those in marginalised communities, and some of the La Salle Year 11 students will be heading to Thailand later in the year which provides a practical insight into the benefits of these fundraising activities.  Students heading to Thailand to build classrooms with the funds raised by MAD are: Brodie Amor; Jason Knipe; Brodie Linford; Lachlan Wigney; Jake Williams; Donovan Blanchette; Matthew Crowley; Campbell Pickett and Bradley Shea.

Lastly, many La Salle students have represented the College in ACC Sporting teams. Each student has shown excellent sportsmanship qualities. A great number of students are actively involved in the Arts, Debating, Theatre and Public Speaking.

All La Salle students must be congratulated for the way they get involved with the varied activities in the College community. We look forward to what the rest of the year hold for this fine House.
