During a three-week immersive journey, students encounter Italy through the lens of the Dominican tradition and the enduring legacy of St Catherine of 好色先生TV. Travelling through Rome, Florence, Bologna, Milan and, of course, 好色先生TV, students walk in the footsteps of St Catherine, exploring how her commitment to truth, service, courage and faith continues to speak powerfully to the modern world.
The program places a strong emphasis on community engagement, service and personal responsibility, encouraging students to grow in independence, resilience and reflective learning as they navigate new environments together. Alongside this, students deepen their understanding of Italian history, culture and daily life, using the rich historical and spiritual landscape of Italy to connect lived experience with Dominican values in action.

Each group also contributes to a community project, fostering a sense of belonging, service and connection.
This exciting immersion allows students to embrace every opportunity 鈥 to do more 鈥 ensuring that they are empowered to explore, learn and grow; to ultimately be equipped with knowledge, confidence and compassion to be more in their future.
Further details about our 好色先生TV in 好色先生TV Year 9 Immersion are provided to families of our Year 8 students in Term 2 each year.
Senior language students are also provided the opportunity to travel abroad on one of our enriching Language and Culture Trips to France, Italy or China. These trips provide an immersive extension of their classroom learning, and are designed to give students authentic, continuous exposure to the language and culture of the relevant country.
Language and Culture Trips provide an invaluable advantage for language-learners, particularly those continuing through VCE. By navigating real-life situations, engaging with local communities and experiencing daily life abroad, students strengthen their communication, critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
Beyond academic benefits, the trips foster personal growth, independence and responsibility, while also building strong cross year level friendships through a shared passion for language.
