Mission Action Day

Every year the student body at De La Salle College raises thousands of dollars at its annual Mission Action Day walkathon. Fondly known by the De La community as MAD, this year’s fund raiser exceeded all expectations with students raising more than $90,000. This is an amazing effort on the part of the boys and their families. The funds raised at MAD Day are donated to a number of charitable organizations including some of the Brothers programmes in India, Africa, Papua New Guinea and Cambodia. This year, Year 7 Solomon led by Mr Chris Martin (1974) raised more than any other single class with a total of $4,000. Congratulations to the boys and their families and the hardworking team of staff led by Mr Ian Oliver and Mr Larry Evans for a record-breaking MAD effort. 42
