In Term 1 we welcomed our new group of Year 7’s to our camp program at Jan Juc. Students were provided funfilled activities that help unite them and forge long lasting friendships. The surf coast camp included many new experiences for the boys — snorkelling, marine studies and surfing. For many, the highlight was crowning the ‘De La Salle Iron-Kid’ in each class. On the final day parents were invited to the Jan Juc camp for a family BBQ, providing a chance to meet staff in a relaxed environment and be part of their son’s camp experience.

The Year 7 Lightning Premiership

There was a lot of excitement and anticipation at DW Lucas Reserve on the morning of August 2nd as our Year 7 boys prepared for their first ever DLS Football Lightning Premiership. It was a bit difficult to determine which Homeroom was the favourite but Ms Dickson (7 Roland) and Mr Locke (7 Benilde) were quietly confident about their chances with 7 Roland winning in 2012 and 7 Benilde in 2011. After the preliminary rounds were completed, 7 Jerome were undefeated and faced 7 Solomon (4th) in the Semi Final. These placings counted for nothing as Solomon charged into the Grand Final with a big win to meet 7 Benilde who accounted for 7 Roland to qualify for the ultimate match. The rain had arrived by Grand Final time so the wet weather skills of both teams were going to be tested. Solomon took the early initiative and was only really threatened by Benilde just after half time. The Benilde challenge was short lived and Solomon cruised to victory and well deserved 2013 Premiership glory. Well done to Mrs Cathy Loft, Solomon Homeroom Teacher, for guiding the boys to success. There were many fine Solomon players in the Grand Final and Ben Fierenzi of 7 Solomon was judged as Best on the Ground and received the prestigious Jarryd Lyons Medal. All Year 7 students who participated can be very proud of their enthusiastic and positive approach towards their first DLS Football Lightning Premiership Day. I’m sure that they will now look forward to this prestigious event on the 2014 Calendar. The students listed below were nominated by their Homeroom Teachers as the Most Valuable Players for their respective Homeroom Teams: 7 Benilde – Tom Marshall, 7 Dunstan – James McCormack, 7 Hegarty – Tom Fogarty, 7 Jerome – Cameron Roberts, 7 Roland – Sam Mahon, 7 Solomon – Jared Williams, 7 Vincent – Ky Morgenthaler Certificates will be awarded to these MVPs at the next Tiverton Campus Assembly. The final ladder for the day was: Premiers – Solomon, Runners Up – Benilde, 3rd – Roland, 4th – Jerome, 5th – Vincent, 6th – Hegarty, 7th – Dunstan Mr Peter Harte
