On Friday the 30 August the College had the privilege to host Michael Bleus, Tom Darcey, Vince Debono, Len Derrick, Peter Gardner, Guy Laguna and Michael Smith who were guests of the College today in celebration of their 60-year de La Salle College reunion. Although some had been involved with the College through their children’s education, for others, seeing the College today was the first time in decades.
Amongst the storytelling, banter and laughter, the former students enjoyed Community Mass followed by a tour of the College and morning tea. They ended their visit with an engaging Q&A session in our Senior Lecture Theatre with our Year 7s, where students asked them all about life as a Lasallian in the 60’s. Mr Derrick also enjoyed a special moment with his granddaughter during Mass.
Regardless of how much time passes, we want our former students to remain connected to our College community as Lasallians. The day was a lovely reminder about enduring friendships and the rich history of our College and the local Midland area.
Thank you for sharing this with us Class of 1964 and we look forward to your next visit and listening to your wonderful stories!
