St Bernard’s College, Essendon – Kenya Immersion – July 2011
July 2011 saw the birth of an East African immersion program for eight Year 11 students accompanied by two experienced staff members from St Bernard’s. The College has had links with Brother Beausang Catholic Education Centre in Embulbul, Nairobi, Kenya, for the past five years and each year students at St Bernard’s raise funds to assist with the establishment of buildings and programs at Br Beausang School. This year the boys made the decision to take the long journey to Kenya to strengthen links with the community at Br Beausang School and immerse themselves in the culture and traditions of the Kenyan people. It is our hope that these young men will learn much from their experience and will be instrumental in advocating and acting for the students from Br Beausang School.
