On the evening on Thursday 25 July, students from De La Salle College and St Bede’s College gathered at Malvern in the St Miguel Theatre for the Young Lasallians Evening.
As a community, we can support one another by being the face of Lasalle and being the face of God to one another. Students reflected on what value, faith, service, or community, resonated with them the most, and how they saw these values playing a role in their life.
The students from De La Salle College Malvern and St Bede’s where then asked to share their core values. The reflections that came from this were that core values are not just about speaking to them, but really living them and practicing them in the same way as the St John Baptist de La Salle did with the students and brothers he encountered in his time.
St John Baptist de La Salle has two quotes:
“Example makes
a much greater impression
than words.”
“Preach by example,
and practice
before the eyes of the young
what you wish them to accept.”
These quotes of his were inspired by someone significant – Jesus. In our Lasallian world, we take both the example of Jesus and St John Baptist de La Salle and live them out in the three values that co-exist with our own, faith, service, and community.
