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. These Year 12’s enjoyed their Alternative Schoolies trek to Everest Base Camp in Nepal.

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

Last year we sent 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. Get in touch with our expert team to discuss your requirements.

Just in time for Australia Day, the World Expeditions Foundation, through its Regenerative 2030 program, has provided 800 culturally significant books to school children in remote Indigenous communities across Australia. This initiative was delivered in partnership with The Indigenous Literacy Foundation's Book Supply program. Notably, over 50% of the books included in the Book Supply packs are authored and illustrated by Indigenous creators, offering Indigenous children the opportunity to see their own culture and stories reflected in the pages—fostering a sense of connection, belonging, and pride.

Just $10 puts a culturally relevant book into the hands of a First Nations student >>

In the lush, rolling hills of Sri Lanka, known as the Pearl of the Indian Ocean, a unique opportunity awaits students to become global citizens in the truest sense.

Service learning trips to this captivating country not only provide students with an unforgettable adventure through its beautiful landscapes, rich culture, and diverse wildlife, but also with the chance to make a tangible impact.

As educators, it is essential to embrace the power of these experiences, carefully selecting service learning projects that align with both our educational goals and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

90% of an elephants diet should be leafy plants like grasses, bamboo, and tree leaves. But the strain of gathering enough food for elephants is often too much and very expensive for sanctuaries.

Get your students involved with our NEW 'Hands Off' elephant program, where students will propagate, plant and prepare food for elephants from a local sanctuary in northern Thailand.

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