A great day was had by all - sadly, we have reached the end of our wonderful trip. We started off with Mass at Mary Mackillop Place, followed by a guided tour of the Museum, where we learned about the amazing life of Mary Mackillop. This was followed by a walking tour led by our own guide, Mr Paul "know-it-all"Leeson, around the Rocks area. A leisurely stroll across the Harbour Bridge and back had all the children exhausted and pining for home! It has been a wonderful experience for all - yes, ALL - the staff are so proud of the wonderful group of young people we had with us for the week.

So funny Linda, a star in the making perhaps. I have a very tired and slightly sick girl who completely enjoyed her trip. Thank you so much to Paul, Brian, Cathy, Helen and Kerri for your dedication and care towards all the children and especially Kerri who looked after Maddie, you all deserve your holiday.
