Ten students from Grade 10 and 5 staff members have successfully completed their mission trip to Vanuatu for another year. A big thank you to Mrs Anitra Collins for her organisation, and such a momentous effort in pulling it together.
The community of Farealapa was very appreciative of the efforts made by all, especially as it was the very first time anyone had ever stayed and worked alongside the locals.
The main focus for this years trip was the construction of a water tank for the village of Farealapa on the island of Nguna. We lived and worked alongside the villagers for 7 days, sleeping in tents, eating the local food and living without power and running water.
This trip was a life changing experience for the people from the village as well as all the students and teachers involved. We look forward to telling our story at an assembly next term.
"This is how everyone will recognise that you are my disciples - when they see the love you have for each other" John 13 :34-35 (The Message)
