LIVING over 5,000 kilometres away, a group comprising five teachers and 30 students between the ages of 15 to 17 from Xavier College in Gawler, Adelaide, Australia were in Malaysia on a one-week visit last month.

One of the highlights of their trip was a visit to my school, St Joseph’s Secondary School in Kuching, Sarawak.
