Immersions offer students an intensive experience of service and an opportunity to see their world through new eyes. By travelling to communities, both within Australia and overseas, our students are encouraged to step outside their comfort zones and experience ways of thinking and being, different from their own way of life.
An Immersion experience can have a lasting positive impact on students. The generosity of the host communities in sharing their challenges can lead to students wanting to make a difference for others throughout their lives. These experiences can also positively impact the host communities, as needs are exposed, and students can respond with justice in the short term and then in their lives beyond school.

At LHC, the vision for immersion is grounded in the mission and vision of the Sisters of the Good Samaritan and the Parable of the Good Samaritan.
