Thailand expedition reviews

THAILAND REVIEWS

World Challenge has been a fantastic experience and would definitely recommend it to other students. All of the different phases were educational and unique. World Challenge is an experience that I will carry with me for a very long time.

Beth Nuttall, Challenger, St Clares College

The trip to Thailand was truly amazing and I had a wonderful time. I would highly recommend other students to participate in the World Challenge experience.

Sarah Hicks, Challenger, St Clares College

The world is an amazing place! World Challenge offers people the opportunity to explore it and themselves.

Natalie Simpson, Challenger, Fairfax School

The expedition and the people we've met have been so inspiring. It's given me a lot of motivation to get through the last year of school and out into the world and real life! It's made me excited about my future and shown me that I can achieve what I want with my life.

CAMBODIA & THAILAND REVIEWS

The World Challenge program is of particular value to building on and sustaining students' understanding of and value of cultures other than their own. It offers them an opportunity to develop skills in communication, inter group interaction, leadership skills and mediation among many others. The World Challenge experience was exceptional in all facets. I believe my students and myself have benefited whole-heartedly from the challenges of the project and expedition phases and the variety of cultural and personal experiences that these phases offered. I am positive that this trip will leave an ongoing legacy through the memories and actions of our students at Kambala.

Jessika Steiner-Foscelyne, Challenger, Kambala

I found the trip challenged me in so many ways. It's affected how I work in a team, it's affected how I work independently, but most of all it's taught me to push boundaries that are already way out of my comfort zone.

Dana Orsanic, Challenger, Footscray City College

28 days later and feeling so much more worldly! It has been an incredible, eye-opening experience and I'm so glad and thankful that I got to be part of the journey. Thank you so much World Challenge for the opportunity and highly recommend to other potential teamsters in the future.

Jennifer Wong, Challenger, Mount Waverley Secondary College

I am extremely grateful to have participated in such an amazing experience which has allowed me to grow as person and gain independence.

Rebecca Kenny, Challenger, St Ignatius
