Walcha students find lasting lessons in Fiji

Key points

• Two Walcha students have returned from Fiji with a new sense of gratitude after volunteering at an orphanage in Suva. Eva Haselwood and Mark Grayling were among 14 Year 8 students from The Armidale School who joined the school's 26th Christian service trip to St Christopher's Home.
• A main project was reviving the home's sick bay, which had been unused since Covid. Students cleaned the space, installed new beds and sewed curtains.
• Haselwood said the trip showed her that happiness does not depend on having much.
