The idea of having a La Sallian Sports Award was first conceived by a bunch of ex-Josephians and Patricians belonging to the La Sallian Essex Soccer Club. The club comprises of veterans, mostly fathers having kids in La Salle primary schools, including some who were ex-national sportsmen, believing passionately in keeping the spirit of the La Sallian tradition of nurturing excellence in sports.
With the encouragement of the SJIOBA on the 17th of May ’03, the La Sallian Sports award was launched. The objective of the award is to recognize outstanding sports boys for their achievement and contribution to the De La Salle Christian Brothers Schools in Singapore. Applications for the award is targeted at all graduating primary six pupils for academic year 2003 from the four La Salle Christian primary schools.
A maximum of eight sports awards, each worth $400, will be presented to successful applicants who must continue their secondary education in either Saint Pat’s or Saint Joseph’s.
The value of the award is just a small token of the appreciation. The recognition associated with the award is in line with the La Sallian spirit of nurturing all-round excellence in sports and contribution to the society at large.
