The Class of 2006

Year 12 is the final year of secondary education and brings together the learning and development of 13 years of schooling. It is not an easy year for a student. Many important decisions have to be made — especially in regards to life beyond De La Salle College. That is why the theme for the year “Working Together” was chosen. I believe we have “Worked Together” in assisting the Year 12 students in grasping opportunities, to fulfill their dreams, and to set high standards in all facets of school life. The Class of 2006 comprises 197 students in 10 Homerooms, 25 of whom have been with us since Grade 4. 32 have joined us since Year 7 — many coming from St James at the end of Year 10. The “Class of 2006” has been challenging in spirituality, academia and administratively. As a group they have enjoyed what life has to offer and applied an “It will be right” attitude to school life. They are a wonderful, friendly, approachable and very sociable group of young men. Let us now briefly retrace the journey our Year 12’s have experienced during 2006. The beginning of the school year was unsettling with a very short Term 1. The College Leaders organized a very successful Kinnoull Week. The Retreat provided a valuable bonding experience and was warmly and respectfully received by all who were involved. The Commonwealth Games inspired people to be involved and do their best, to seize every opportunity, to be prepared for the unexpected, including disappointment, and to seek support when needed. This was a great reminder to our students for the commencement of Term 2. The Personal Development days and Mission Action Day were extremely well supported. The Formal was a gala event which enabled students to relax, dance and socialize — especially after a week of Unit 3

Exams.

Term 3 was long, with the highlight being a very successful Founder’s Day celebration which was well organized by the College Leaders. The respectful, caring and supporting qualities of our young men was shown to both Dominic Stephens and John Truong with the passing of their fathers.

The VCAL students were a large contingent this year and many successfully participated in work placements and TAFE courses. Our talent was outstanding in various creative areas including the College Production of “The Servant of Two Masters”, the Rock Eisteddfod Challenge and Art Week. Quietly, and behind the scenes, the St Vincent De Paul group worked tirelessly to support those in need. The Graduation Mass, Valedictory Dinner and Farewell Assembly were great occasions, not only to celebrate a wonderful year of achievements, but also to share the journey and memories with loved ones, close friends and staff. To the parents, Homeroom Teachers and staff, I sincerely “Thank You” for your effort, understanding and care you have shown during the year. To the “Class of 2006” I have appreciated your support, trust and cooperation. We are proud of your achievements both within and outside the school, as well as the way you have presented yourself. I wish you the very best in your future endeavors and hope to hear of your continued journey. They never said that it would be easy — but they did say it would be worth it. Best wishes always!
