Marist Immersions: Marist College Canberra Visit Peers at St Joseph’s, Solomon Islands

Recently, Marist College Canberra visited St Joseph’s Tenaru in the Solomon Islands for their immersion program, which turned into a wonderful adventure filled with fun, exploration, and great camaraderie between the students. Br Hudson Horoto has written about the immersion experience.

The community extends heartfelt thanks to the teachers and students of Marist College Canberra for their recent visit to St Joseph's Tenaru Secondary School. Their presence brought great joy and created memorable experiences for the students and local community.

Many visitors shared how meaningful the visit was. One expressed particular emotion at the warm welcome and genuine friendship shown by the students at St Joseph’s. It was truly uplifting to witness everyone come together in high spirits during the games of rugby, soccer, AFL, and basketball. The laughter, teamwork, and sportsmanship were beautiful signs of the bonds being built between the two schools.

The hosts were also grateful to welcome their guests to The Marist Brothers Laumanasa community, where the kind gesture of sharing juice and biscuits was deeply appreciated. Most importantly, on behalf of the entire community, Br Simon Serero extended sincere thanks for the generous support in providing a new lawnmower. This gift will greatly assist in maintaining the grounds and better serving the students.

The visit served as a reminder of the strength of the Marist family and the joy that comes from sharing life together. The community looks forward to more moments like these in the future. God bless all involved.
