It was a great privilege to recently lead thirty-one members of our community to Siem Reap, Cambodia from 30 March to 8 April. The diverse group included five staff, two recent alumni, the two school captains and twenty-four current Years 10 and 11 students. This was the fifth Westbourne edition of the Cambodia Challenge and as always it proved rewarding, confronting and memorable.
The aims of this trip were:
I was immensely proud of all our students who embraced this amazing opportunity with grace, respect, courage and selflessness. They reported learning important lessons about the world and themselves. They represented the School with great distinction. I am extremely grateful to the other staff who attended in Ms Louisa Scerri, Mr Robert Utting, Mr Tim Clemens and Ms Andrea Arnold.
To learn more about the Cambodia Challenge of 2018 and the possibility of being a member of the 2019 trip, please attend the Cambodia Community Night on Tuesday 31 July from 7pm in the Auditorium.
