Reigniting tours in 2023

Our Year 11 Cambodia Service Expedition will take place in December this year. The purpose of the trip is to provide educational assistance to students and teachers at the Cambodian Children’s Fund’s (CCF) community schools, and deliver one-on-one instruction in the areas of literacy, numeracy, language acquisition and cultural sharing. Father Richard Pengelley will lead this expedition.

St Mary’s Year 10 Regional Indigenous Community Immersion trips will also resume in 2023. These are unique and impactful opportunities to experience for one week, life in a remote community and gather a deeper understanding of Indigenous Australians and their culture. The purpose of these trips is to provide educational assistance to students and teachers in the communities, and to run after-hours community activities throughout the week. This year, our students will visit the following locations:

• Looma

• One Arm Point

• Tambellup

• Kununurra

• Marble Bar

• Nullagine
