World Challenge Nepal Camp

Our Year 10 and Year 11 students will be embarking on a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and heading over to Nepal in Term 4 to deliver a community service project!  World Challenge Australia is facilitating a Nepalese camp for our students with the objective of expanding their perspectives of the world and fostering global citizenship through cultural immersion.

Prior to the camp, our students will be hosting a fun night of trivia, games and prizes, with all money raised going towards the community they are visiting.  Food and drink will be available to purchase and this too will contribute towards the Nepalese community.
