doves . On each dove , they were asked to write down one action that they could do to make the world a more peaceful place to live in .
The collaboration required many hands , united hearts and minds to bring the art installation to life , necessitating much communication with various Lasallian school leaders , teachers , facilities staff and students from different levels . Says Audrey , “ The most rewarding part of the project was to see people working hard and believing in this project , such as the secondary school leaders who willingly stayed back to prepare materials for the art activity sessions with the primary school students . I am also grateful to the Year 5 students who sacrificed their break time to complete the project before it was hung up .”
It is perhaps apt that the paper birds can now be seen swaying in the breeze above Brother Joseph McNally ’ s “ Family : 3 generation ” sculpture outside the bookshop , a central location with high foot traffic for students , teachers and guests to the school . When seen as a collective , the strength of our Lasallian voices and imagination for a safer , more peaceful tomorrow becomes apparent and a symbolic reminder of the possibilities when we stand united in our hopes and dreams . As Head Prefect Aaron Wong ( LE301 ) summed up the experience most beautifully , “ Seeing the primary school students happy and enjoying themselves after the visit lets us truly know that we have made a difference to their lives , no matter how small the significance .”
