Parents’ Network

De La Salle Parents’ Network

A name change from the Parents’ Association to the Parents’ Network has not changed the spirit or dented the generosity of the De La Salle parent community. The willingness of parents to give has been fantastic, whether to help with mail-outs, Kids Help-Line packing, volunteering for social functions, the secondhand book sale, or to assist with donations for the silent auction and raffles. With three members of the previous year’s committee remaining, a new committee was elected and soon took on the roles that had been vacated with enthusiasm. I thank this group of very dedicated workers for the many hours given to promote the De La Salle parent community. Many parents took the opportunity to mingle, and enjoy the Pizza for Parents night early in Term 2. The De La mothers were able to enjoy two successful weekends at Jan Juc, particularly the beautiful weather during the October stay. Our main fundraising event for the year was ‘Abbaration’, held in the Gymnasium in September. Two hundred parents and friends gathered to dine and dance the night away. The social and financial success of this evening was due to the efforts of many parents who gave their time and money to support their sons’ College. Thank you to all parents who joined in the activities this year. I look forward to next year, knowing that the Lasallian spirit is alive and well within the parent community.
