Sharing the Lasallian values at St Gerald’s

Students at St Gerald’s De La Salle College in Castlebar have continue to live and share the Lasallian Values with a number of recent initiatives, while also broadening their minds with school tours, and representing the college on the sporting front.

The team will play a central role in campaigns and events promoting student wellbeing as the academic year progresses.

5th year students, as part of Computer Science Week, tutored first year students in Computer Science, helping them get to grips with the technologies and platforms they will encounter on the secondary school journey.
