Embarking on an overseas learning experience is an exciting and transformative experience, opening doors to new cultures, perspectives, and knowledge. To maximise the benefits of this programme, we believe that engaging in pre-trip learning modules and experiences is essential for all participants.
Attendance for all Pre-Trip Learning Modules/experiences is compulsory.
