The Great Aussie Adventure: Year 10’s Unforgettable Journey into the Wild

This past November,��Year 10 students traded their desks for sleeping bags, their classrooms for campfires, and their daily routines for an adventure that would challenge and transform them. From 23 November to 3 December 2025, they embarked on the Great Aussie Adventure, a once-in-a-lifetime��experience��and the only opportunity in their AIS journey to explore the untamed beauty and spirit of Australia.��

 

 

A Progressive Journey: AIS Outdoor Education from Prep to Year 11��

At the 91porn, we believe that some of life’s most powerful lessons happen outside. Our��Outdoor Education programme��takes students on a carefully designed journey from their earliest years through to Year 11, building skills,��character��and confidence along the way.��

In��Elementary School, young learners start with day trips that spark curiosity about the natural world. As they grow, so do their adventures, progressing to overnight camps and culminating in a week-long overseas expedition in Year 5. These early experiences lay the groundwork for independence,��resilience��and a love of exploration.��

By��Secondary School, the stakes rise. Students face more demanding physical and mental challenges, from rock climbing and white-water rafting to trekking through remote landscapes. Year 10 marks a pivotal moment: an overseas expedition designed to test and refine everything��they’ve��learnt. In Year 11, students can choose to��participate��in international service-learning trips, where adventure meets purpose and global citizenship takes root.��

 

 

Year 10 at Bush Camp Biloela: Where the Adventure Began��

Located just two hours from Sydney within 250 acres of Australian bushland,����provided the setting for this year’s Year 10 expedition. Students hiked into camp with their gear, prepared meals over open fires and camped outdoors.��

Activities included canoeing, abseiling, raft��building��and bush navigation. Each activity required teamwork and problem-solving, giving students the chance to learn about the environment and work together in new ways.��

 

 

Lessons Learnt Around the Campfire��

Away from their usual routines and technology, students focused on working together and supporting one another. Evening campfires provided time for reflection, conversation and building friendships across the year group.��

The camp offered more than outdoor skills. Students developed resilience, practised��independence��and experienced the value of collaboration in practical situations.��

“This trip allowed me to make new friends, see many of Australia’s natural wonders��and also��made me feel courageous and confident. I really enjoyed when everyone sat together around the campfire. ”��–��Echo ,��Year 10 Student����

 

 

Why Outdoor Education Matters��

At AIS, Outdoor Education helps students develop critical thinking,��adaptability��and problem-solving abilities. These experiences build confidence and resilience that students can apply in academic,��personal��and future professional contexts.��

Through our program, students also develop a sense of responsibility towards themselves, their peers and the broader community. They return from these experiences with new perspectives and practical skills that contribute to their overall development.��

 

 

A Rite of Passage��

The Great Aussie Adventure is a celebration of how far our Year 10 students have come and a glimpse of who��they’re��becoming.��It’s��a rite of passage that reminds us all: real growth happens when we step outside our comfort zones, embrace the unknown and trust in the journey.��

Choosing AIS for Your Child’s Future��

At AIS,��we’re��committed to providing an education that goes beyond academic excellence. As an��IB World School, we combine rigorous academic standards with hands-on, experiential learning opportunities like our Outdoor Education programme. We understand that��some��parents are looking for more than just strong exam results. You want a school that develops the whole child, building character,��resilience��and real-world skills alongside academic achievement. Our progressive approach to outdoor education, ensures that every student��has the opportunity to��grow through challenge, discover their strengths and develop into confident, capable young people ready for whatever comes next.

Welcoming the New Head of School to AIS

Tell us more about yourself and your background. How did you start in education?

Education has always been part of who I am. I began as a physical education teacher in Australia, where sport taught me teamwork, resilience, and humility, values that translate into the classroom. My career took me from Head of PE in London to Sydney Grammar School, and then nearly nine rewarding years at Repton Abu Dhabi, where I became Principal. Over two decades, my guiding values of integrity, respect, growth, and challenge have shaped how I live, teach, and lead. A mentor once told me, “Integrity builds trust, and trust builds everything else.” Those words have become my compass in leadership and life.

What do you think are key areas a school should focus on?

The most crucial focus for any school is creating the conditions for people to thrive. Academic excellence is always the goal, but it’s achieved through a culture that values wellbeing, creativity, and genuine inclusion. Strong schools are built on strong relationships among teachers, students, and families, grounded in mutual trust and respect. In Australian culture, we pride ourselves on a flat structure in which everyone, regardless of title or role, deserves the same courtesy and voice. Ultimately, schools should encourage personal growth, community connection, and character so that students leave not only academically prepared but also resilient, empathetic, and ready for whatever comes next.

What are you most excited about for the upcoming school year with AIS?

I’m excited to meet our students, families, and staff and experience the relationships that make this community special. I look forward to seeing students excel in academics, sport, the arts, and service learning, where character shines brightest. I can’t wait for those whole-school moments that bring us together: assemblies, carnivals, performances, and milestones. Sport taught me that a great team always beats a great player, and that spirit of teamwork and shared success is what I hope to strengthen at AIS.

What aspects of Singapore are you excited to explore or enjoy?

Singapore is an incredible place, modern, dynamic, and wonderfully diverse. My family and I can’t wait to explore local neighbourhoods, visit the hawker centres (I already have quite a list!), and enjoy the outdoor lifestyle. After nearly a decade in the Middle East, being somewhere that blends nature with urban energy feels refreshing. Joining AIS is deeply meaningful. When I first visited campus and heard students sing the Australian national anthem, I felt chills. Moving here is both a new adventure and a homecoming, especially as our two sons reconnect with life closer to Australia.

What are the two or three most critical things you’re looking forward to focusing on in your new role at AIS?

I’m honoured to continue the legacy of excellence Ms. Karrie Dietz built at AIS. My priority is to listen, learn, and collaborate with our exceptional team to sustain that momentum. My leadership philosophy is firmly rooted in “high support and high challenge”. When teachers thrive, students naturally thrive. I’m excited to explore innovation and emerging technologies that enrich learning while preserving our human touch. Nurturing student voice and leadership will remain central, empowering them to shape their experiences and make an impact beyond the classroom. Strong partnerships among parents, staff, and students will be a key focus because when we work together, incredible things happen.

Schools for Schools: Service Learning That Creates Lasting Impact

For nearly two decades, the 91porn in Singapore has run one of the country’s most established service learning programmes. Schools for Schools empowers students to volunteer overseas, supporting partner schools in Nepal and India while developing youth leadership skills that extend far beyond the classroom.

• Programme: Schools for Schools
• Year Level: Year 11 Legacy Project
• Partner Regions: Nepal (Himalayan Trust/REED), India
• Total Raised Since 2007: S$400,000+
• 2025 Fundraising: S$24,850

 

 

What began in 2007 with AIS teacher Ruth Luthi’s involvement in a teacher training program in Saleri has grown into a transformational partnership with the . Together, AIS and REED have supported schools in the Everest region with a shared mission: improving access to quality education in remote communities.

Today, the Schools for Schools co-curricular activity (CCA) continues to stand as a testament to student leadership, compassion, and global citizenship.

 

18 Years of Student Service Learning

Since its inception, the Schools for Schools initiative has raised over S$400,000, helping to fund:

• New school buildings
• Teaching resources
• Vegetable gardens
• Toilets and sanitation facilities
• A playground
• The ongoing commitment to pay teachers’ salaries each year

 

This sustained support ensures that students in remote regions of India and Nepal can learn in safe, well-resourced environments — opportunities that would otherwise be out of reach.

 

Year 11 Youth Leadership Programme

Schools for Schools is a Year 11 Legacy Project, giving students authentic opportunities to plan, lead, and execute fundraising initiatives throughout the year. From bake sales and barbecues to sporting events and talent shows, students have discovered firsthand what it means to turn teamwork and creativity into meaningful change.

The programme develops youth leadership skills through hands-on project management, from budgeting and stakeholder coordination to event execution.

In 2025 alone, AIS students raised:

• S$12,000 for teachers’ salaries in Nepal
• S$1,500 for partner schools in India
• S$11,350 from the 2025 Global Festival, donated to Loding Khola, Nepal, to rebuild the hydropower pump originally funded by AIS in 2012 and destroyed in the 2024 landslides

 

This student-led service learning initiative demonstrates how meaningful volunteer work creates lasting change in underserved communities.

Their efforts extend far beyond fundraising. Students have travelled to India and Nepal to connect directly with the communities they support — renovating classrooms, teaching local students, and participating in cultural exchanges that inspire deeper empathy and global understanding.

 

AIS Students Creating Lasting Impact Across India and Nepal

The heart of Schools for Schools lies in the personal transformations that occur when students step outside the classroom and into communities very different from their own.

Students who volunteer overseas through Schools for Schools consistently describe the experience as transformative. Here is what recent participants shared about their service learning journeys.

 

 

Developing Youth Leadership Through Service

Schools for Schools continues to shape AIS students into compassionate leaders, critical thinkers, and globally minded young adults. The impact they create — whether building infrastructure, funding education, or forming meaningful relationships — is felt long after each trip ends.

As we celebrate another successful year of service, we are incredibly proud of our students who live out the AIS values of respect, effort, and compassion in every corner of the world.

Together, we are building brighter futures, one school, one fundraiser, and one act of service at a time.
