During the term break a group of Year 11 students, along with students from other Good Samaritan schools, accompanied by staff including Ms Christina He, travelled to the Philippines, where they had the opportunity to visit the Sisters in Bacolod and the children at the Kinder School. Such experiences broaden our understanding of our world and the issues experienced in different places. The work of the Sisters in both the Philippines and Kiribati has an enormous impact on the lives of the local people and as partners in ministry with the Sisters it increases our understanding of their work.
