The 1 La Salle International Collaborative Performance was created by students from La Salle Academy Iligan, Philippines, and the Hakodate La Salle Junior High School, Japan, as an expression of their 1 La Salle spirit.
The project was started in April 2025. By June, teachers from both Lasallian schools began meeting online to plan. Young Lasallians from both schools spent the next two months working together to prepare for the show.
Through video conferencing, the Sinag Tala Culture and Arts Artists of La Salle Academy and the first-year students of Hakodate La Salle worked together and overcame distance and borders to unite their hearts into the project.
The final performance was done during the final of the Hakodate La Salle School Festival last 19 July 2025. It deeply moved the audience and was awarded the Grand Prize of the school festival. Br. Antonio Cubillas, FSC, principal of Kagoshima La Salle, also sent a heartfelt message to both schools in support of the collaboration.
This project is the start of a deeper and lasting connection between the two Lasallian institutions, and they look forward to more opportunities for cross-border collaborations in LEAD (Lasallian East Asia District).
