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 11 La Salle runners took the gold and silver. Congratulations to Matt Crowley (1st) and Luke McCarthy (2nd).

Although La Salle House is inspirationally led by House Captain Michael McWeeney and his Vice-Captains, Nelson McKiggan and Callum Linehan, 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 $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 and Jake Williams in Group 1 and in Group 2, Campbell Pickett; Donovan Blanchette; Matthew Crowley; Bradley Shea.
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.
There was a great La Salle Team pride demonstrated in the House Swimming Competition. La Salle (senior) Team was victorious! The House Swimming Champions were Austin Lam 1st (Yr 10); Sam Preston 1st (Yr 11); and Callum Linehan 2nd (Yr 12).
The Year 10 La Salle students have had a very busy Term 3. They have had to decide on the subjects that they would like to enrol in for 2016 and decide whether to be a VCAL or VCE student. They have also had one week of work experience, getting a taste of the world of work followed by a terrific week at the Grampians, on the Year 10 Camp.
The House Footy Competition was held in Term 3. La Salle went in with a strong team but narrowly lost the grand-final to McCristal.
Lastly, 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 even the College’s yearly production. All students must be congratulated for the way they get Involved with the varied activities in the College community.
