Pilbara immersion

During the recent school holidays a number of Year 9 travelled to the community of Warralong in the Pilbara for an indigenous immersion.

The boys were all excellent. They represented the school well and all were taken far out of their comfort zone. They made strong connections with the community and worked hard to achieve those connections. They coped with difficult conditions and were upbeat and great company. They also gave of themselves in situations that even adults would struggle with. They spent two mornings washing hair and combing out head lice, they painted, played, danced and shared cooked kangaroo tails under the stars. They collected rubbish from the never ending piles blown against the fences and coped with dust and heat and in some cases sickness. I was exceptionally proud of them all.
