Lasallian Values at heart of Churchtown activities
De La Salle College Churchtown have illustrated once again how the Core Principles are very much at the heart of all they do, with a number of recent initiatives highlighting the Lasallian values at work.
Lasallians Leaders in De La Salle College Churchtown have once again been living the core values by using their experience for the benefit of the younger classes.
This year, our team of Student Leaders of 5th and 6th Years decided to focus on helping their peers in 1st and 2nd Years develop some strong and efficient study skills. What does ‘learning’ mean? What types of learners are there? How do I learn best? What study tools/study techniques are efficient for different subjects? Such are the questions our Student Leaders were challenged to answer and, by Jove, did they do a good job!
Presentations, group activities, walking debates, creation of revision tools (mind maps, flashcards etc.), there was plenty there to get our Junior students thinking and working hard. Words such as laborious, industrious, effort, motivation and discipline resonated with our students.
A fine display of peer collaboration, well done
SOAR Workshop
It's always a pleasure to welcome the SOAR Foundation to work with our TY's on breaking down barriers, encouraging self belief and to help them recognise the greatness that exists in all of our young people. This workshop is always an incredibly impactful experience for our TYs and will no doubt act as an inspiration to all who attended.
Soar is a collective movement which believes that there is greatness within all young people.
