TWILIGHT INTER-HOUSE SWIMMING CARNIVAL
Last Tuesday our annual Inter-House Swimming Carnival was held at Bayswater Waves. This would
have to be one of the most exciting swimming carnivals that I have ever attended in 37 years in Catholic
education in four schools!
The spirit among the competitors and spectators was amazing. The final result came down to the very
last event, with the three Houses vying for the Overall Shield. In the end our newest house, Jordan
triumphed by only a few points from Benildus and Solomon.
My congratulations to everyone who was involved, including our Director of Sport, Jodie Walsh, all
Physical Education Staff, House Coordinators, officials, parents, spectators and very importantly our
competitors.
YEAR 7 EXPERIENCE
Our annual Year 7 Experience was held last week and by all accounts was an outstanding success.
Over 240 students descended upon Ern Halliday Camp in Sorrento and the College for this annual
event. Led by the Year 7 Coordinator, Kelly Johnson, and wonderfully supported by the staff, the
Experience gave our Year 7s the chance to come to know what it is to be Lasallian, meet new friends and
have some fun. Additionally, all students were provided with a study skills seminar to assist their
transition into high school.
YEAR 7, 2018
A reminder that I will be commencing enrolment interviews for Year 7, 2018 later this term. If you have
a child who is currently in Year 5, please lodge an application for Year 7, 2018 without delay. We have
already had a very strong response and we obviously wish to be able to give places to siblings.
However, without an enrolment form this won't be possible.
PRODUCTION CAMP
Last week over one hundred students and staff attended camp for the College's 2016 production of
Thoroughly Modern Millie. Performers and musicians spent three days working on routines for this
classic musical. Thank you to Shellie Rodriguez, Chris Milne, Sarah McDonnell, Amy Webb, Pamela
Barrett, Laura Alban, Alan Fitzpatrick and Steven Nicholas for their great support of our students. I
looking forward to seeing Millie in May.

YEAR 12 RETREATS
Good luck to our Year 12 students as they embark on their retreats next week. This is a very special
time for our senior students as they take time out to reflect and ponder on their relationship with
God, their families and friends.
ACADEMIC INITIATIVE
In line with the College's commitment to excellence, we are continuing our Prometheus and Daedalus
Clubs. These groups have been established to encourage academic excellence and achievement,
particularly among students aspiring to gain entry into competitive university courses.
Membership of this group is open to students in Years 10, 11 and 12. Students are expected to commit
to attend at least 75% of the weekly 3 hour study sessions over the course of the year. Teachers are
available to help students and a number of former high achieving La Salle graduates have been
contracted by the College to provide academic support. Specific details of tuition times is regularly
published in the Delagram.
The iCentre is also open after school Monday through to Thursday until 5:00 pm, especially for
students in Years 7 to 9. Teachers will be available on a rostered basis to provide help to students.
CONDOLENCES
Our sympathy and prayers are extended to Tanya Macri and her family on the sad passing of her
sister. Our condolences are also extended to Ben Reilly and his family on the sad passing of his
nana. May perpetual light shine upon them and may they rest in peace.
St John Baptist de La Salle

YEAR 7 EXPERIENCE
From Monday 15 February - Wednesday 17
February, Year 7 classes were suspended for the
Year 7 Experience. The students had two days at
Ern Halliday Recreation Camp and one day at
school completing a specific programme to assist
them in their transition to La Salle College.
Upon arrival at Ern Halliday for the camp
element of the Year 7 Experience, we chatted
about our aims and expectations for the next
few days. We had some big afternoons of
activities including beach games and archery as
well as our Year 7 Experience Quiz Night, a
highlight being the dance-off as one of the bonus
round challenges.
Students had one day of the Experience at the
College, Monday or Wednesday depending on
their House group. This involved an IT session
with Mrs Lindy Reger and Mr Andy Vella, a
Lasallian spirit session with Lasallian Youth
Minister Stephen Beirouti and study skills session
run by Hands On Tuition.
STUDENTS DRIVING TO SCHOOL
The City of Swan has advised the College that
Evelyn Reserve, on the western boundary of the
College, should no longer be used for parking. If
your child is driving to school and choosing to
park in the streets surrounding the College, it
would be appreciated if you could remind them
that they should not be parking in front of the
driveways or in the visitor car parking at Water's
Edge, across the road from the College. The
College has been advised that
students who are not following the
local council laws may be issued
with fines.

PERTH WRITERS’ FESTIVAL SCHOOLS’ DAY
Today a group of 30 keen writers from La Salle went to the
University of Western Australia to take part in the Perth Writers’
Festival Schools’ Day.
We attended lectures from people of various backgrounds
including visual design, novel writing, song writing and
improvisational rappers. They each spoke about their careers
and field of choice. For example, we had a talk with Beci
Orpin about her life in design, and how to follow her
footsteps if we desire to do so. We heard from Fiona Wood
and David Burton (novelists and scriptwriters) on the topic
of 'Growing Pains' and listened to them tell embarrassing
stories about their teen years.
The highlight of our day, was a lecture with Kav Temperley from Eskimo Joe. He taught us how he
created and wrote the lyrics to his songs, and how it doesn't just happen. At the end, he also sung us
'From the sea'. We think we noticed all the teachers in the room swooning!
We also had an opportunity to buy books by many different authors, and even get our books signed.
During the day, we also got activity books called 'Passports', and at the end of the day, we went
through and completed them.

HOSTING A FRENCH EXCHANGE STUDENT
For the last 9 years a programme has been in place offering the opportunity to young French
students aged 13-16 years to discover Australia and its education system.
The purpose of the programme is for the French student to experience living with a local family, to
see how an Australian school operates, to improve their English language skills through this full
immersion and to create a strong friendship with their Anglophone peers. The programme is highly
successful and both Australian and French students greatly enjoy the exchange. Many families still
keep in touch with each other.
If you are interested in hosting a French exchange student for either a 5 week or 10 week block (in
April, June or July), please contact Martine Floyd, email : [email protected] or on 0403 019

INTER-HOUSE SWIMMING CARNIVAL
Tuesday 23 February saw a return of the Twilight Inter-House Swimming Carnival at
Bayswater Waves. The day brought mild weather, with patches of rain. House spirit was
rife with all Houses keen to win over McCormack, who have dominated since 2012!
With many students stepping up to the challenge of competing for their House, the
results were very close and it came down to the relays. With leadership points changing
after every race the atmosphere was intense.
Congratulations to Jordan House who won the overall shield and also Senior Shield and
to Solomon House who won the Junior Shield.
The Spirit Award, which is awarded to the House with maximum participation, chants and
cheers and also House spirit, went to McCormack.
I would like to thank the parents who gave up their time to officiate and to also support
the carnival. Your help is always welcomed. Also a special thank you to all of the staff
who get involved in every carnival. Without you the day would not run as well as it did.
The ACC squad list will be up at the end of the week in the PE Office window, with training starting
next Monday 29 February. A letter will go home with your child.

YOUNG ENTREPRENEUR
Current Year 12 student Ryan Fazzalari is proof if
you have drive and determination, then you can
achieve. This clever young man started his very
own company, Flo Customs back in August 2014.
Ryan decided after spending his money purchasing
T-shirt's at a high cost, he thought he could do
something similar if not better at a reduced cost,
himself.
He started to research the market, plan and invest
his part time wages into the cash flow for his
business. He purchased his own screen printing
machine and started to develop his own designs.
In March 2015, he launched his website
www.flocustoms.com and since then he has sold
over 1 500 t-shirt's.
Ryan has also drawn on his experiences through
the Onsite programme to help improve his
business since it first began through industry
training and assistance from employers willing to
mentor and offer advice. This has allowed him to
make connections and outsource to help expand
the business over time.
He is constantly working towards improving his
designs and printing techniques to ultimately
create a better product.
Ryan's advice for other budding young
entrepreneurs is to be prepared to work at it. You
invest a lot of time and effort into your product
and most of the initial cash flow is reinvested
back into the business and RESEARCH. Do lots of
it.
We wish Ryan well for his future endeavours and
hope he reaches his sales target of 2 000 tshirt's by the end of 2016.

HOT SPOT
The popularity and range of activities that take place in a school day have definitely made the
iCentre a 'hot spot' for students this month. The Pokémon Club host their meetings every Monday
lunchtime supervised by Mr Adam Thorne. Students come to read, sit and talk, or play a variety of
games with chess, Uno and Minecraft the top drawcards. Borrowing can now commence with the
distribution of student barcodes this week. The delay unfortunately beyond our control was due to
our migration to a new Library Management System - Access-It Library - at the start of the year.
"The energy of the mind is the essence of life." ~ Aristotle
Students can now take advantage of the after school homework and study help provided in the

THOROUGHLY MODERN MILLIE PRODUCTION
CAMP
Preparations to perform our much-anticipated
Thoroughly Modern Millie have begun with a
symbol crash and many jazzy twirls at
Serpentine this past weekend at La Salle's famous
Production Camp. Departing on Thursday 18
February and arriving back to school at 3:00 pm
on Saturday 20 February, exhausted yet
satisfied, were 99 students and 7 staff who were
taunted by catchy song lyrics for hours long after
arrival home.
It was a brilliant start to what will be hours of
time and dedication by both students and staff
and many long-lasting memories were created.
Both the cast and orchestra were given the
opportunity to get to know each other further
during full-on rehearsals (which were from dawn
until dusk); encouraging the comradery which is
needed to put on such a successful production
with the high standards La Salle College expects.
It wasn't all sweat and tears however, countless
laughs were shared and there were many
moments of uncontainable excitement and
anticipation for what this musical will bring to
the stage, literally.
It is evident from our dedicated Sunday
rehearsals and this fruitful camp, that this
Thoroughly Modern Millie will be a production
you shouldn't miss.
