PROGRAM OVERVIEW

During this 10-day program students will work on personal and interpersonal development, using Haileybury’s ACHIEVE framework to guide the facilitation. This unique journey will take you bushwalking on the Great Southwest Walk, which hugs the coastline and canoe in Discovery Bay near Portland. A visit to Tower Hill (an extinct volcano) you will meet traditional owners, the Worn Gundidg who will take you on country for a tour of special places around Tower Hill. You will also have a stop at Tyrendarra for a Budj Bim tour with the Gunditjmara people, to learn how traditional owners used natural materials to build fish and eel traps along wetland areas of the southern coast.

Location

Bushwalking

Be it a day's hike or a short walk to camp, bushwalking engages all our senses allowing us to explore nature and our place within it. And we always find something exciting along the way!

Camping

Camping out in tents is our speciality! We love telling stories around the campfire, looking up at the night sky and creating memories that will last a lifetime!

Cultural

Encourage an understanding and appreciation for history and diversity by connecting students to a different way of life through storytelling, bushcraft and more.

Canoeing

Following the flow of the river, we love to explore the waterways on our canoes. Working as a team, using our muscles and problem-solving together to reach our base for the night.
