Countdown to LYG 2017

Greetings Lasallians,

Are you ready for the Lasallian Youth Gathering, 10-14 July 2017?  There are only 4 days to go!

Our team is energised to finally meet you and engage in an action packed, life-giving and practical program that will help you answer the call. The LYG Band are raring to go and they've have planned some great beats for the soundtrack of the week. Some of our band members have performed to large crowds right around the country and are ecstatic to be present at LYG.

Here's a sneak peak of the LYG Band!

We would love to introduce you to Band members; Josh (on Bass), Seb (Saxophone), Matt (Guitar & Vocals), Jess (Vocals), Kevin (Drums) and Damian (Vocals & Keys).

Opal Card Changes

Opal has recently announced an increase in travel fares for the Sydney Metropolitan area. At the time of our original calculations, costs would have been below $20.The minimum cost to recharge an Opal card is now $30, which is required for all travel during LYG. If you need more information head to www.opal.com.au and read about Opal Card changes.
