Immersions
School retreats and immersion experiences are an integral part of the life-long faith formation of young people and form part of the distinctive character of Catholic schools. They recognise the individuality and dignity of each student by fostering their unique potential and spirituality.
Our students are able to experience immersions including spending twelve days in Timor Lesté visiting schools that we have fundraised for in Abafala and Quelicai, as well as working with the Marist Brothers in as they prepare to re-build a school in Kulugia
Northern Territory to visit the Santa Teresa (Ltyentye Apurte - pronounced “la ginger porta) Aboriginal community. Students travel to this remote community and lend a hand and learn all they can to connect and engage over the course of weeks visit.
As part of their language learning journey our VCE Italian students have the opportunity to travel and immerse themselves in Italian culture. Students are paired up with Italian families for the full immersion experience and spend their Australia Summer holidays in the European winter!
