 Alumni Association Working Group

Reliving memories, recapturing youth, rekindling 'old' friendships, networking, mentoring or helping our current students achieve great things - some of the many reasons to be part of the La Salle College Alumni Association Working Group. We need your ideas and suggestions to help map out what our Alumni Association should look like. Regardless of how much time passes, we want our Alumni to remain connected to our College Community; help us to create a vibrant, active Alumni and be part of our working group. If you are interested, please email Dolores Castelino - College Development Manager.

First performed at La Salle in 2004 it was always the plan to celebrate the twentieth anniversary of the shows original production at the College. However, with the disruptions that COVID caused, the College decided to present Jesus Christ Superstar on its nineteenth anniversary. Inspired by the 2013 arena spectacular this production was updated in terms of design and staging but the amazing songs we know, and love were still the same. With 53 cast members for 2023, including a 13-piece orchestra, our talented and courageous cast of 2023 put on a spectacular show - bet it seemed like only yesterday for some of our Alumni! What a special experience for our Alumni and current Lasallians to share.
