De La Salle Waterford

“De La Salle College, Waterford, is an all-boys Catholic school.

De La Salle College, Waterford was founded in 1892 by the De La Salle Brothers and serves as a Catholic school for boys. The aim of De La Salle College is to develop an atmosphere of friendliness, discipline and co-operation where everyone can experience respect, encouragement and support. While every school is a community in which adults and young people live and work together, the Lasallian scho

ol is inspired by the vision of St. John Baptist De La Salle, that Gospel values must permeate the life of a Christian school in such a way that students internalise those values and reflect then in their behaviour. All who work in the College constantly strive to make De La Salle College a welcoming institution. Our behaviour management strategies and pastoral care structures are built on the principles of justice and fairness. We endeavour to fulfill our mission in partnership with parents/guardians, staff, students, trustees and the community.

The day was great for our newest students, and couldn't have run without our wonderful TY Buddies who have been excellent welcoming the youngsters to De La Salle College since school returned. Well done to Ms. Harrington's Red Team who won the blitz after a penalty shootout - no suspicions should be aroused by the fact they are photographed with the match referees.

Well done to one of our promising young Gaultier footballer's, Sam McLoughlin, who was a worthy recipient of a Garda Youth Award at a ceremony in City Hall last Friday night. Sam was rewarded for his outstanding work in locating an elderly missing neighbour in the village last December in the cold of winter.

Pat Walshe and Eunan Whyte of the Lasallian Association travelled to Waterford for the event, while past pupil Fr Sean MacDonagh donated some of his publications to members of our Sustainability Committee. Overall this was a special event that added to the most cherished day on our calendar, De La Salle Day!

Arrived at Alton Towers, students and teachers have been braving Oblivion!

De La Salle Trad Club - Lochlann, Ed and Killian with Mr. O'Brien - and guests Ellen and Kate, who performed for the students in 1st Year Music in the Chapel as part of Seachtain na nGaeilge. The group then made the short trip to St. Declan's NS to give a workshop on Irish instruments, as well as another performance.

Well done to our Under-19 soccer team who reached the Munster Final today, defeating a determined Glanmire Community College on penalties. Neither side could find a winner following Ben Walshe's calmly taken second-half equaliser, but Ben Hennessy thankfully hit the winner in the shootout.

Our Under-14 panel were in the Sports Hall this morning - the midterm couldn't stop them from doing a bit of stickwork! Fair play lads!

Our TYs showing off their developing ski skills after a few days on the slopes.

Our Transition Years preparing for another day on the slopes!

Pre-match preparations underway in Fethard ahead of our Dr. Harty Cup clash with St. Flannan's College. Best of luck lads!

Tonight the curtain comes down on this year's musical - one of the most special weeks of the year in De La Salle College. The cast, crew and production team have worked arduously in recent weeks and months, and it has been fantastic to see their effort and dedication result in a truly excellent show. There are still a small number of tickets available for the final show tonight at 8pm - we can guarantee you a fantastic night's entertainment!

Tonight's sell-out show has begun, but there are still a small amount of tickets available for tomorrow evening on the door! We Will Rock You is a show not to be missed!

There are a limited number of tickets available on the door for the final two shows of We Will Rock You tonight and tomorrow! Why not break free, go gaga, and witness a kind of magic from 8pm in the De La Salle Sports Hall! This cast deserve yet another full house!

Last week Fr. Pablo brought a glove worn by Padre Pio to our school Chapel. Fr. Dominic gave the students a short talk on the stigmata of Padre Pio and each student had the opportunity to get a blessing if they wished. Below is footage of our 6th Years prior to their blessing.

What a hit to cap a great performance in the middle of the park from Romeo, as Ireland pick up three points in their European Championship group. Jason made a great save early on to keep Ireland level against Wales, and sprinted the length of the field to celebrate with his Waterford FC teammate after this goal. Alan Cawley has been purring about their performances all game, and going on the amount of close-up shots of Romeo, the cameraman reckons he's the Man of the Match! Well done lads!

A perfect set of penalties from Sean, Hugh and Vavrik at the blitz for De La Salle schools in Ireland yesterday. Goalkeeper Rob Kearney - fresh from his All Ireland success with Tramore last weekend - made a big save to send the lads through to the Shield Final. What's also great to see at the end of the clip is 1st Year Cian O'Farrell head straight towards the young Belfast team to commiserate with them afterwards.

Here's the lads from the Senior Choir performing their award-winning song for the staff today. The lads won the Sing Trophy - awarded for best piece performed by any school choir - during the two-day Cork International Choral Festival competition, as well as 2nd prize in the Equal Voices Competition for Post-Primary Schools.

Our Senior Choir enjoyed a fantastic trip to Cork yesterday for the Cork International Choral Festival. The lads won the Sing Trophy which is awarded for best piece performed by any school choir during the two-day competition, and also came 2nd in the Equal Voices Competition for Post-Primary Schools, earning a certificate of excellence. This morning the Choir were invited to the Staff Room as part of a wellbeing initiative, and performed their winning number, but not before a surprise rendition of Happy Birthday for Br. Ben! We'll post the lads' award-winning performance later on!
