Providing a range of co-curricular opportunities is important to us because we value each child’s individual skills and interests, and we want to give every opportunity for students to grow and further their potential.
Our range of clubs and groups form an important part of the co-curricular life at LaSalle. Some clubs enable small groups to follow a particular interest under expert staff guidance; others focus on academic development and extension. Many involve competition within LaSalle and against other schools and institutions.
