For most of our students, this was the first time they had been to Central Australia and the first time they had stayed in an Aboriginal community.<\/p>\n<p>After the long drive through the red desert to Santa Teresa, the students quickly immersed themselves into the local school&#8217;s program. Throughout their stay they embraced the Aboriginal culture with respect and interest. Oven cooking, craft, the equine program and shared stories during a desert sleep out, the students made strong and lasting friendships.<\/p>\n<p>By having this heart connection with the Santa Teresa community, the Lorne students felt a strong desire to give back. They are now planning a week in October for the Aboriginal students to come and experience what Lorne has to offer. For many, it will be the first time they have seen an ocean let alone travelled so far.<\/p>\n<p>Through this dynamic, integrated, VCAL program we have linked in with the community, both local and wider. Organisations such as Bendigo Bank and Colac and Torquay Rotary clubs, not to mention our wonderful locals, have made all this possible. From this connection, students have grown emotionally and academically and have been exposed to experiences that have demanded team work, flexibility, commitment and celebration. All real life work ready and employable skills. We thank you all for your support and welcome new partnerships as we prepare for our guests later in the year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AFTER MONTHS of organising, fundraising and researching, the Lorne P-12 College VCAL students finally made it to Santa Teresa, Alice Springs, to what has turned out to be a life changing experience.
