Immersions are a significant part of the school experience in our province. Given the vast area we cover - spanning 11 countries - students have the unique opportunity to travel widely and engage with diverse cultures. This month, St Joseph’s College, Hunters Hill, embarked on a remarkable ten-day immersion to the beautiful island of Kiribati, where they connected with their Marist peers at St Louis High School.

Even before setting foot in Kiribati, the boys raised over $20,000, which helped provide much-needed supplies to the local schools they visited.

Trading the winter chill for the heat and humidity of the central Pacific, the boys were warmly welcomed by their Kiribati buddies. They forged meaningful connections and gained a deeper understanding of a culture rich in community.
