La Salle

La Salle House has 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 in this event!

Additionally, the Hackett Mile was also run during Term 1 and La Salle had great success in this long distance running event.

The Year 12 La Salle runners took the gold and bronze. Congratulations to Matthew Crowley (1st) and Lachlan Wigney (3rd).  The Year 11 La Salle runners took gold and silver.  Congratulations to Nick Carlon (1st) and Nick Law (3rd).

 Although La Salle House is inspirationally led by House Captain Matthew Crowley and his Vice-Captains, Simon O’Loughlin and Luke Russo, all students in our House are considered leaders in their own right.  La Salle House is also very fortunate to have very reliable Tutor Group Captains also serving as terrific role models for their peers.      

In terms of 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 $11,000!   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.  Year 12’s also have an opportunity to head to India at the end of the year to also build classrooms as part of the India Outreach program.

La Salle Team pride will also be demonstrated in the upcoming House Swimming Competition which will take place in early Term 2.    Many La Salle students have represented the College in ACC Sporting Teams.  Each student has shown excellent sportsmanship qualities.  Other students are actively involved in the Arts, Debating, Theatre and Public Speaking and the College’s yearly production.   All students must be congratulated for the way they get Involved with the varied activities in the College community.
