This year’s Year 8 students have really consolidated on last year’s excellent start to College life at De La Salle. It was particularly pleasing to see students get involved in so many different activities throughout the year. The motto for 2008 in Year 8 was “Energy, Excellence, Enthusiasm”. The students embraced this goal from the beginning of the year and it remained a constant reminder for the students to strive towards for the entire year. In what has been yet another very busy year for all concerned in the Year 8 community, there have been many activities in which the students participated enthusiastically. ACC Sport was again a popular choice during each term. It was terrific to see large numbers of students wanting to trial for each sport. Over the course of the year there was plenty of sporting It was particularly pleasing to see the boys use the and academic rivalry displayed between the Year Rock and Water principles in their daily activities at 8 Homerooms.

These camps provided the students with an opportunity to embark on a wide range of fun outdoor activities. The camps fostered strong personal development with individual responsibility, cooperative group skills and a development of knowledge about the outdoor environment. Finally, I would like to thank the students of Year 8 for their efforts this year. I have enjoyed our journey together immensely. It has been a real pleasure and delight getting to know and learn from each and every one of you. I would also like to thank the Year 8 homeroom teachers: Mr Murrell, Mr Happ, Mr Grace, Ms McIroy, Ms Turner, Mr Magree, Mr Rhoden and Mr Wozencroft for the dedication and effort they have all made this year.
