The VCAL Has Landed!

The Victorian Certificate of Applied Learning was launched at De La Salle in 2004. This new senior secondary certificate for students in Years 11 an 12 is the ‘hands-on’ option for Victorian school students who, on completion of their school studies, can pursue apprenticeships, traineeships, further studies at TAFE or work. The implementation of VCAL is creating new, engaging possibilities for De La Salle students, including school-based apprenticeships and structured workplace learning. VCAL has three levels: Foundation, Intermediate and Senior. Within these levels, students complete units that fit the strands of Literacy and Numeracy Skills, Work Related Skills, Industry Specific Skills and Personal Development Skills. De La Salle offers Intermediate VCAL in Year 11 and from 2005 will also offer Senior VCAL in Year 12. All VCAL students undertake a Vocational Education and Training (VET) course. This training provides the student with a nationally accredited certificate in a specific industry. A wide variety of VET courses are available for VCAL students and the accessibility to these for De La Salle students is expanding. VET programmes allow students to experience learning about and working in an industry while they are at school which may help articuVCAL student Mitchell Lomas at late a pathway towards a career in that industry.Holmesglen TAFE, where he is completing Certificate 2 in The flexibility of a VCAL programme ensures that

Fabrication and Welding each student’s individual needs are catered for. Consequently, students are able to maintain motivation and enthusiasm for their course of study. The expansion of VET offerings and the incorporation of school-based new apprenticeships is nurturing partnerships between De La Salle and important stakeholders in the wider community. The success of these partnerships and the growing attention that VCAL is attracting suggests that the Victorian Certificate of Applied Learning is one important step for De La Salle and one giant leap forward for education.

Careers Expo

The Careers Expo held at the College was an outstanding success, attended by hundreds of students from Years 9-12 and their parents. All major Universities were represented, along with several TAFE Colleges, Independent Tertiary Colleges, and a large number of industry representatives. Most importantly, many Old Collegians, either studying or working, gave up their time to attend and provide the current students with information on their particular field of expertise. They showed a great sense of camaraderie and willingness to be involved. This is testimony, I believe, to their time at De La Salle College and I am very much in their debt for the contribution they made to the enormous success of the evening. In general, the night exemplifies the good will of the College, fostered in particular by Br Tim, because the whole community works together for the benefit of students, both now and in the future. Sue Taylor Careers Counsellor

College Alumni

As this year ends, and we say farewell to our Principal, Br Tim, we must acknowledge the huge contribution he has made to the College Alumni throughout his time at the College. During his eight years at De La, Br Tim established decade reunions, ‘Year 12 Revisited’ for the new graduates, annual functions for the Pre 1960 alumni and their wives, the many interstate reunions, the annual celebration for ‘Mothers of Former Students’ and he continued to observe the annual Old Collegians’ Mass. His influence will long be remembered by the thousands of former students he welcomed so warmly at every reunion and function held in those years. His contribution to strengthening the Old Collegians’ Association has been immense. The Alumni calendar commenced with the Annual Old Collegians’ Mass at the College, celebrated by Fr Leo Conlan, CM. Morning tea followed, allowing those present to mingle and old friends to meet again. This year we held separate reunions for the men from 1954, 1964, 1974, 1984 and 1994 and we introduced a Five Years’ Reunion for the young men who

graduated in 1999. The September issue of Lasallian Roll Call has captured the spirit of these reunions in the many photos featured in the Alumni section. The Year 12 Revisited attracted over 70% of the students from 2003’s Year 12 along with many of their former teachers. Many of our interstate Alumni were invited to reunions this year. In June, New South Wales’ Old Colls and their wives enjoyed the Sydney Reunion at ‘Anderledy Lodge’, in the grounds of Mary MacKillop Place, North Sydney. Then in October, the inaugural Perth Reunion was held for all West Australian Alumni and their wives. The venue was a lovely restaurant on the south side of the Swan River overlooking the city lights and their lovely reflections. As one Old Collegian said ‘It doesn’t matter what year you finished at De La — whenever you get a few of us Inaugural Perth Reunion Old Colls together we instantly get on well. There is that common bond of values we share. It appears that hasn’t changed through the generations. I hope these reunions will continue in Perth.’ We then joined the Malvern Old Collegians, Br Stanislaus Carmody and Br Cormac (Frank) Brophy at the Canberra Mass and Dinner. This annual event is for former students from all the De La Salle Colleges in Australia who reside in Canberra. Each year, the database for the Mothers of Former Students increases. Mothers contact the Alumni Office to place their names on the special database when one of their sons leaves the College. This year we held a Dinner at the Kooyong Tennis Club and our special guests were Fr Les Troy and Br Julian Watson. Over the last few years, much has been written about our longest surviving ‘first day pupil’ John Lloyd. Sadly, on August 18th 2004, at 100 years Br Tim with 2002 College and 3 months, John Captain Michael Stinear passed away peacefully. and John Lloyd On his birthday, we presented John with a ‘Certificate of Honour’ and presented his family with a bound collection of documents recounting his amazing life and particularly his experiences during those first few years of the establishment of the College. A guard of honour formed by our senior students seemed a fitting honour for such an esteemed elder statesman of the College. (John’s recollections of his early days and the establishment of the College have been recorded and make fascinating reading. They are a reference source for all students and staff at the College and are available for Old Collegians to read.) Mrs Genie Scott Alumni Officer
