LASALLE STAR
This weekend is Pentecost Sunday. A
very important day for the Church
Calendar. It is on this day that the
Chris an Church is officially recognised
as having begun. The story of the
tongues of fire that filled each of the
disciples with the courage and strength,
to proclaim the Good News to all,
without fear, is a touching account of
God’s love and protec on of his people.

We would like to thank the parents that a ended our 1st Parent Forum for 2019.
Mr Cartledge, our Newman Coordinator presented a Powerpoint of the
Newman Selec ve Gi ed Program and explained to the parents what it means

Mr Steve Vujevic, Parent Body President addressed the group a er the
presenta on, telling them how good our enrolments are for 2020, how we
need to have open communica on between parents and school and how he
a ended the Pre elec on Forum held at Southern Cross Burwood. Michael Egan

FROM OUR LASALLIAN YOUTH MINISTER: MS STEFANIE BREDA
On Saturday 13th & Tuesday 16th April, nine students represented LaSalle Bankstown at the Lasallian Youth Gathering in Melbourne.
This event recognised the district of Australia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Pakistan and recently Samoa. The gathering consisted
of 250 individuals, workshops, group ac vi es and many opportuni es to sing and share talent.
The event overall was a success that allowed the students to encounter a wider branch of the Lasallian Family.
I would like to thank Mr Strudwick and Ms Breda in accompanying Jeremiah, Heinz, Nirajan, James, Lazareth, Jacob, Hieu, Harriet and
Julie‐Anne at the event.
NEWS FROM OUR HEAD OF SAINT YON TRADE TRAINING CENTRE: MRS MARGARET PHILLIPS
WORK PLACEMENT PROGRAM ‐ BLOCK 1 2019: The last three weeks have been witness to Saint Yon Trade
Training Centre VET students comple ng their mandatory work placements.
Ini al apprehension was overcome by student prepara on and communica on, then
finally, quiet confidence, as the school uniforms were replaced by the worker’s uniform of
hi‐viz tops and steel capped boots.
Work placement roles varied from Real Estate marke ng to simulated driverless trains,
from drone surveying to wrestling massive diesel assemblies.
Over 80 students were involved in a large slice of industry located in suburbs right across
Sydney and beyond. Loca ons included Artarmon, Blue Mountains, Blacktown, Vaucluse,
Wollongong, Bowral, Casula, Ingleburn, Condell Park, Lidcombe, Richmond, Bringelly and
Green Hills.
Ge ng to some of the sites by 7.00am each morning was an adventure in itself. The
industry exposure for the students will in me, prove invaluable. For so many of our
students the sights, sounds and smells of a worksite are a completely new experience.
With Block 1 completed, all eyes will be focused on Block 2 with great determina on and
op mism. Mr Keith Porter

YEAR 8 SCIENCE CONFERENCE
Last Wednesday, 29th June 2019, the LaSalle Science team and Year 8 students held their annual Science Conference as part of their
assessment task 1.
The aim of the task is to further student understanding into the workings of the
human body, the interconnec ons of the various organ systems, diseases which can
affect systems and the biotechnology that we use to fix/manage these illnesses.
The models on display were of the upmost brilliance and showed the enthusiasm and
passion the students have for science. The amount of effort that went into all models
is something Year 8 and their parents/guardians should be proud of.
On behalf of the science team, I would like to congratulate all students on a job well
done, and to all the parents/guardians who showed up, voted on the models and
made the conference all the more interes ng, I thank you. To the teachers who came
along to observe the brilliant work of the students, a big thank you and most of all,
thank you to my science team who ran the event perfectly, guided the students
during the assessment and helped make the decisions on which student group would
win the Coordinators prize and culminate the results of parental vo ng.
Congratula ons Year 8!!
Ac ng Science Coordinator, Gavin Broady

YEAR 8 MEDIEVAL INCURSION
On Tuesday, 28th May Year 8, had a Medieval Incursion to complement their studies history this term.
The Medieval incursion was a fun learning experience for kids to enjoy and get
involved with the equipment, weapons and armor to feel what knights,
peasants, nobles and others had to go through during their everyday life. ‐
Jacob C
The presenters explained the different armor throughout the Medieval ages
(1000’s to 1700’s). He even let the whole class try on the knight’s helmets,
which was ranging from the Viking period to the Renaissance periods. ‐ Tyrese
There were different types of chain mail sizes. The smaller ones were more
expensive and were safer. It was harder to penetrate it with a sword, while the
bigger rings were easy to penetrate with a sword. ‐ Amy
The Mace was one of the tools that nobody used, because it simply didn’t
work. If you were to swing the mace, the mace would kill you, then the person
next to you and the horse behind you. ‐ Toshe
We had an opportunity to try on and hold everything that they had for the
show. We could fit the helmets, hold the weapons and put on the armour. It
was really fun to see and hold these items and the helmets and swords were
authen c enough, even though they were blunt or for show only. ‐ Emmanuel
We were able to hear all these stories, have a good laugh, learn informa on
and best of all we got to
use the equipment and
have a good me. ‐
