My First Year at De La Salle My first year at De La Salle, was a year filled with sport, class excursions, musical performances, making friends, text books, and change. Aside from the text books, assignments and new class teachers, the school year has been filled with school events such as Founder’s day, Rally Day and class excursions into the city. We finished Term 3 with Founder’s day, a day where we celebrate our founder St John Baptist De La Salle. We had a Mass in the morning, and then went over to the senior campus for a fete. Most students were attracted to the dunking machine (as many of their teachers were trapped in the dunking seat). The day before Founder’s day Year 7 had their Rally Day. This event is held to involve students in sports such as volleyball, tennis and indoor cricket. Teams for each sport were chosen out of a hat and only 15 students were chosen for each sport. Everyone had a great time and tried their best; everyone had a great day. In Term 3 Year 7 took part in an excursion to the city to visit the National Gallery, Music House and Art Centre. The Music House was the most exciting experience for a lot of students, as it was immensely entertaining, and full of activities. Students also had the choice of buying lunch at the South Bank Food Court. Everyone enjoyed the day and had a great time. I have enjoyed the start to my first year at De La Salle — each day has been filled with activities and surprises. There is always something new happening at De La Salle. This is the way school is meant to be. Antonio Russo 7 Dunstan
