Opportunity: Cambodia Tour 2018
Cambodia tour
Last chance to apply!
An exciting opportunity exists in 2018 for Year 10 and 11 students (current Year 9 and 10s) to attend Northcote High School's Cambodia Tour. Our first trip was run last year and was a huge success, so we are excited to open up the opportunity again to NHS students.
Students will learn about Cambodian history, including a visit to the S21 Museum and Killing Fields in Phnom Penh to learn about the Cambodian Genocide. They will link Cambodia’s confronting past with current issues facing Cambodia. Students will also complete a construction-based community project in Siem Reap (exact project TBC – likely a construction based project - school classroom or home) which they will fundraise for throughout the year. Our expectation for students who are selected is that they attend regular lunchtime meetings throughout the year to plan and deliver fundraising projects.
Students will also develop communication skills, team work, organisational skills and budgeting skills as they will have responsibility for budgeting for meals and deciding on tourist destinations throughout the trip (this will be guided by staff). Alongside this, students will also visit and learn about Angkor Wat and surrounding temples when in Siem Reap.
Interested? Application forms are available from Ms. Witt in M11 or Mr. Lethborg in G13 and are due Friday November 24. If you have questions, please email Jamie or Kylie.
