La Salle

Lasalle 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 sadly didn’t help the overall result, we came 3rd overall. However, La Salle House was able to reverse the score board and win the House Swimming Title.

Year 11: Miles Bergman

Year 12: Gerard Kelly

Although La Salle House is inspirationally led by House Captain Spencer O’Leary and his Vice-Captains, Trent Alphonso and Dawit McNeish, all students in our House are considered leaders in their own right.

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 $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.  Year 12s 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. The following students raised the most amount of money for

La Salle House.

Year 12         Trent Alphonso $523 and Kevin Tong $500

Year 11         Jono Vincent $775 and Aaron Truong $650

Year 10         Damon Kelly $465

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.

The Year 10s have had a fantastic start to Term 3 with their work experience placement followed by a week at the Grampians. The group have learned many valuable life lessons and skills.
