Celebrating the beauty of our shared differences through faith, heritage, and togetherness.
The La Salle Catholic School Cultural Day 2025 was a colorful, joyful, and meaningful celebration of what makes our community truly special — its diversity. Held on Thursday, October 9, 2025, at the Main Hall, the event brought together students, parents, teachers, and guests under the inspiring theme: “Unity in Diversity.”
From vibrant cultural performances to traditional attire and songs of praise, the day reflected the belief that diversity is not a challenge to overcome but a strength to celebrate.
✝️ A Celebration Rooted in Faith and Unity
Every great La Salle event begins with faith — and this day was no different.

The National Anthem followed, filling the hall with pride and purpose.
