Official launch of Lasallian Competition 2023/24
The MEL Committee Ireland officially launched the Lasallian Competition for 2023/24 a last week’s Student Leadership Programme in Castletown.
Last year's competition was a huge success and saw fantastic engagement from Lasallian schools across the country. It is a very important initiative for our schools and we hope that the engagement from last year can be repeated.
The competition is a means to encourage our students to explore and develop their understanding of the Lasallian ethos in a meaningful way as well as allowing our young people to be creative across whatever format suits them best.
It is hoped that every school will be in a position to enter the competition this year. Schools may decide to run the competition at a school level first and then choose the three who will go to the finals. All of the entries at school level and the finalists will be recognised for their efforts with a certificate.
