The Land of I have had the privilege to lead many previous expeditions for the school and this trip to Melbourne, Australia was by far the most unique. This trip focuses on various universities and career paths that followed, this trip provided our M5 students with an experiential guide to future decision making. The students had an opportunity to visit and be exposed to university life from Melbourne’s leading universities. Each university (Melbourne, RMIT & Monash) provided
a team to explain and guide the students on the courses offered, entry requirements needed as well as the type of ‘culture’ that prevailed in their university. Many of our students, was exposed to university life for the first time and provided them with a catalyst to start honing down a possible career path and the associated subjects that they would like to study.

Although the main focus of this unique trip was to visit the universities there was still sufficient time to explore the city of Melbourne and its surrounding attractions. They were really excited to go on a road trip along the Great Ocean Road, one of the world’s most famous driving routes, Victoria’s Great Ocean Road offered scenic surprises at every fork in the road. In signature Australian style, endless stretches of white
sandy beaches are flanked by dense pockets of rainforest, charming coastal towns. With Melbourne often described as one of the world’s most livable cities, the students also explored the city from its historic buildings to the modern arts centres.
