Year 10 Vanuatu Mission Trip
We have celebrated another amazing Vanuatu trip! Staff and students were blessed by the rich and wonderful cultural experience of overseas mission, while being treated to the picturesque surroundings of a such a beautiful country and people group. Students worked well on a range of ministry activities including the construction of the first stages of a fish farm, as well as carpeting the Lifechanger library. We pray for future opportunities and congratulate our students for their exemplary work, conducting themselves in a manner that is worthy of their calling.
Year 12 Thailand Mission Trip
During Week 7, 14 of our Year 12 students travelled to Khao Lak,Thailand with Mr and Mrs Sanchez and Mrs Livingstone for our 5th consecutive Year 12 Trip to Thailand. The goal of the trip is to offer students the opportunity for an alternative ‘schoolies’ experience that focuses on following Jesus’ example of servanthood. Students were exposed to a valuable missionary work of the New Light Community Development Centre which was set up after the 2004 Boxing Day Tsunami for the local Burmease children in Baan Nem Kem,1.5 hours north of Phuket Airport.
This year our ministry work at CDC included the painting of a staff house that was newly constructed with funds raised from our BCC Golf Fundraiser day. We ran a range of activities with the children including: Batik T-shirt painting, biscuit making and a small wood-work project and some novelty games with the Thailand children at a special Saturday outreach centre.
Our students were blown away with the beauty of the Surin Islands, we visited some elephants and loads of market shopping after dinner each night. The students always come away from the trip with a broader perspective on God’s creation. Exposure to the valuable mission work of sharing the gospel and an appreciation of the joy we receive when serving others.
