Application process

Simply follow these simple steps to organise an Antipodeans Abroad expedition at your school

 

  • Contact us: Please get in touch via phone, email or in person through a school visit.
     
  • Meeting: We will discuss with you possible destinations, projects, length of expedition and the time of year you want to go. Our skilled staff will help you select an expedition that works best for your school and students.
     
  • Proposal: Upon hearing your preferences and goals, a proposal is submitted to the school and Principal for your review and approval.
     
  • Launch: We will conduct an assembly launch presentation with your students, followed by a parent information evening which leads to the first team meeting.
     
  • Preparation and support: Once students have signed up, an Antipodeans Abroad expedition manager will meet with the team regularly to plan - itinerary, community project and fundraising. Further events pre-departure include a weekend training course, a travel simulation day, a teachers emergency procedure and medical briefing day, equipment and meet-the-leader evenings for parents and a risk management meeting with teachers and Principal.

Our Antipodeans trips to Borneo and Peru have presented outstanding learning opportunities for our students. Lives have been changed as young people were challenged, extended and rose to the occasion in order to exercise leadership; they learned that they were so much more than they thought they were.
