Immersion Opportunities

Daramalan College values being able to provide students with the opportunity to immerse themselves in other cultures and ways of life through immersion trips.  A key component of such trips is the transformation of hearts and minds, as our students come to have a better understanding and appreciation of other people, their culture and the challenges they may face. 

Prior to the Covid-19 Pandemic, the College visited the Mau Chau Valley in Vietnam where we worked with the community of Quyet Thang.  On our first visit we worked in partnership with the community in building a kindergarten, and on our second visit we helped construct three bridges in the village.

More recently, Daramalan has also taken immersion trips within Australia.  In 2022 we sent two groups of students to visit remote homelands of Central Australia.  On these Red Earth trips students had the opportunity to make real connections with Indigenous Australians living on their own land. They learnt from Elders and Traditional Owners who have maintained a deep connection to their land, culture, and history.  In 2025, we are again heading to Central Australia.

In late 2025 some of our student leaders are engaging in a sustainability project in Cambodia.
