Since 2016, Innoventures Education has provided outdoor learning opportunities where students are engaged with learning activities outside of the classroom.
We have tailored this years’ offer to respond to the feedback received from parents and students. All of the trips and activities on offer will be linked to one or more of the following themes: Creativity, Activity, Service, or Application of Learning.
This year, we will be running overseas Trips for Grades 6 - 9 & 11 / Years 7 - 10 & 12 in April 2026.
Participation in overseas trips is optional. All the overseas trips will be chaperoned/supervised by the Secondary School teachers of Innoventures Education.
This cost includes all activities, flights, transport, insurance and food. Visa cost is separate and has to be paid for by families depending upon the specific country requirements. Schools and trip providers will support with a visa letter and the travel documents needed for obtaining the visa.

It is hoped that these trips will give students experiences that will inspire them to become caring global citizens. A global citizen is someone who is aware of the wider world, cares about people and the environment, and takes action to make the world a better place. Students will engage in sustainable service or gain awareness of issues that transcend national borders. Students will develop an understanding of issues of less developed economies, indigenous peoples, and environmental degradation and preservation while simultaneously helping people or building up cultural awareness and sensitivity. Students will plan and work as teams, strengthening their teamwork for a common goal of greater good. We look forward to your support for these exciting overseas Trips in April 2026.
