While the school year is coming to an end there is no slowing down for our team helping these Year 12’s on their Alternative Schoolies trek to Everest Base Camp in Nepal.

We pioneered the Alternative Schoolies concept over a decade ago, to provide schools and students with a unique way to celebrate this significant milestone a world away from the party chaos.

Innovation and helping students understand what it takes to become global citizens are at the heart of all our Educational Journeys.

This year alone has seen us assist over 2000 students to every corner of the earth, building health posts in Nepal villages, classrooms for schools in remote areas in Cambodia, joining indigenous immersion programs here in our own backyard and forming cultural connections and creating artificial reefs in Asia.

We can help your school tailor a journey to suit your needs and budget. If you haven’t planned your 2024 trip yet get in touch with our expert team to discuss your requirements.

Our team are here and on board until Christmas to start helping plan your school program or just to say G'day!

Talk to us about doing this project alone, or combining it with an artificial reef conservation program.
