Indigenous Immersion Experience
Our group of Year 10 Students has just completed their travels from Broome to Balgo, and volunteering with staff and students at Luurnpa Catholic School in remote Western Australia, located in the Wirrimanu Community of Balgo Hills.
The vibrant Balgo community is multicultural and multilingual, with several language groups, including Kukatja, Djaru and Walmajarr to name a few. Our participants worked with Luurnpa's K- Year 10 students in the classroom and developing after school programs, such as sporting activities.
The Students kept a daily journal, published on the blog about this incredible cultural and community experience, which can be viewedhere.
Many thanks to our 2023 Student participants:
