The Great Wall has been Conquered!










The team of 13 students (from Years 8-11) and 2 teachers returned last week from a successful visit to China.

Yes we: climbed the Wall, (went up in a gondola actually and came down a 2.5km long toboggan)
              visited Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City
              saw the Pandas at the Zoo
















 
But we also spent lots of time with children in orphanages, homes and special schools to share with them in a very special way. Many of the children were severely disabled but were able to give as much joy as we were able to give them.











Some of us helped out by cleaning toys, picking up rubbish, weeding pathways and washing windows. All of us met people who challenged and inspired us.




Who will go to China in 2014?
