De La Salle College Waterford will focus on the themes of community and inclusion with a Lasallian Leavening Fund project to create a new First Year Community Room.
The revitalisation of the 1st Year locker room addresses the need for an improved locker room environment, transforming it into a space that fosters a more positive experience for students. This initiative seeks to overcome past negative associations and establish a welcoming and calm atmosphere.
The goal is to create an environment where students can first engage with the values and ethos of the Lasallian tradition, while also experiencing the spirit of De La Salle College Waterford.
Work to date:
● Deep cleaned
● Fully painted
● Floor resurfaced
● Redistribution and grouping of lockers with the help of the TY Lasallian leaders
● Broken lockers removed/repaired
● Bag storage racks ordered, awaiting delivery
● TV information screen - TV sourced and suitable location chosen
● Large clock sourced (this was requested by 1st year students) and is being repurposed for use in the community room
● Formation boards designed
