Jabiru & Kakadu
Haileybury College
PROGRAM OVERVIEW
During this 10 day program students will work on personal and interpersonal development, using Haileybury’s ACHIEVE framework to guide the facilitation. Jabiru and the Kakadu area have been home to Aboriginal people for more than 65,000 years. Aboriginal rock paintings, dating to prehistoric times, can be viewed at sites such as Ubirr. Students will arrive in Jabiru via a flight to Darwin and bus trip from Darwin to Jabiru. There they will spend the week involved in cultural activities, a bushwalk and bouldering journey through Brockman Plateau. The environment is very hot and humid as a result, this week will be very challenging at times but will also involve fantastic opportunity to experience a completely different environment while learning different ways to connect with peers, staff and the landscape.
