While many Australians hit the beach over the Summer holiday period, some SVD students at Dorish Maru College headed out to work – taking on jobs in fruit-picking and factory employment.
The Summer work experience is part of their program of missionary formation and enculturation, helping them to better understand and empathise with the working people they will serve.
