Lasallians travelling 3000km to chase their dreams
40 students have travelled from Balgo Hills in the Kimberley region of Western Australia to attend the boarding program at La Salle College Middle Swan.
Each semester they either drive more than 3000 kilometres, or catch a 3-hour flight stopping over in Broome or Kununurra.
The acting principal at La Salle College, Roxanna Davies, said the program has been bringing students to Perth for more than 12 years. “I think these students have a courage that’s untapped… We love opening our doors to students from Balgo and we would definitely like to see more students from Balgo and remote communities come to us.”
