An exciting European study tour awaits 21 school leavers from Sydney Catholic Schools, including three Lasallian students. 

Andrew Thompson (De La Salle College, Cronulla), Hanz Ifurugn (De La Salle College, Revesby Heights) and Paul Nguyen (Casimir Catholic College, Marrickville) were among the lucky few selected for the adventure in education. 

These students have distinguished themselves by their strength of character and academic achievements. 

Western civilisation and its institutions were irrevocably shaped by Christ, whose Church pioneered and fostered the flourishing of universities, hospitals, schools, visual arts, music and technology. 

Christ's birth, crucifixion and resurrection all occurred in Palestine, in the Roman Empire, through which many of the Apostles spread the Catholic faith.   

Students will have the opportunity to explore this influence on contemporary society.
