<\/p>\n
An exciting opportunity is coming up in 2025 for Year 9-12 students (current Year 8-11 students) to journey to Central Australia for a once-in-a-lifetime Immersion Experience.<\/p>\n
2023 was the very first time our students went on this exciting adventure, travelling to the remote Indigenous homelands of Central Australia.<\/p>\n
While on an immersion, students get a unique window into modern life in remote communities by camping with family groups and learning about Indigenous culture from Elders and Traditional Owners.<\/p>\n
Students will learn about the language and the history of the local area, search for bush-tucker, visit incredible rock art, and contribute to a meaningful service project chosen and guided by their host community.<\/p>\n
