Red Dirt Immersion
The Matthew 25:40 Red Dirt Immersion is an ongoing commitment to the spirit of reconciliation, and moving forward together as one mob. In July 2024, this physical and spiritual journey of accompaniment between St Pius X College Chatswood and Christian Brothers High School Lewisham, sought to deepen our understanding of Aboriginal culture and spirituality as we set out to learn ‘on country and through country’.
Over the course of 8 days students and staff from both communities learned with hearts open from Aboriginal elders, Aboriginal land councils and through face to face connection through school buddy programs. The immersion dove deeply into the beauty and tragedy, the strength and the fragility and above all the awe and wonder of the tapestry of Aboriginal peoples and culture.
To Bourke and back again, the Holy Spirit has ignited our hearts and we remain committed to keeping the fire burning.
