Homeless World Cup

Year 9 Outdoor Education

Year 9 Outdoor Education saw students participating in activities at You Yang’s Regional Park and in the chilly waters of Port Phillip Bay. The camp is a compulsory component of De La Salle’s school curriculum, providing students with the opportunity to develop friendships and participate in a diverse range of activities in the outdoor environment. During the week students tried their hand at rock climbing and abseiling, bush walking, mountain-bike riding, and sea kayaking. But for many, the highlight of the week was sharing the water with playful Australian furback seals!

Helping People Help Themselves

The Homeless World Cup 2008

The Homeless World Cup is an annual international football competition for players who are homeless or socially excluded. It uses the positive power of soccer to increase awareness of homelessness and poverty. The Homeless World Cup has been held annually since 2003, when the inaugural tournament took place in Graz, Austria. Since then it has been held in Gothenburg, Sweden (2004), Edinburgh, Scotland (2005), Cape Town, South Africa (2006) and Copenhagen, Denmark (2007). Melbourne successfully won the international bid for the upcoming competition and will proudly host the Homeless World Cup in December 2008. De La Salle College pledged its support behind this event and is sponsoring the African nation of Sierra Leone. Throughout the year via numerous fundraisers — including casual clothes days, Shoesday Tuesday, Street Soccer Tournament and an Indoor Soccer Tournament to name a few — De La Salle has raised awareness of the homeless, and also raised much-needed funds for the Sierra Leone team. With the event still to occur at printing, we are all looking forward to seeing all 54 nations at Federation Square in early December!
