OUR VISION

We seek to 'turn around a generation', both here in Australia and around the world. 

For Year 12 students, we believe the opportunity of these trips will grow their understanding of the world and also themselves. 

Overseas we seek to partner with local organisations and encourage their work, and invest into long-term projects and programs. 

OUR PLAN

Our short-term trips to developing nations or regions are a great learning experience for students. Whether they are being exposed to poverty, exploring a new culture & country, or engaging with local organisations making a difference, students will learn & grow. 

​As they return home, we hope their lives will be changed in a way that has a global perspective, and they will be able to share their story and advocate for sustainable change.

OUR HEART

Schoolies Rev is a Christian project, which we are up front about and not ashamed of. We are not owned or run by any particular school, church or denomination.

While we target our trips at Christian students, we are open to anyone coming on board, regardless of faith, race or background. The only requirement is that everyone attends everything on the trip. While everyone is present, it is up to the student to decide their level of engagement.

OUR STORY

We started as a crazy idea in 2010, that came to life as we approached a couple schools, got 22 students on board and headed to Uganda in 2011. Since then our team has grown and we have continued to run trips each year. Alongside our trip to Uganda, we have added trips to Cambodia & the Philippines. In the past, we have also gone to India & Sri Lanka, as well as the Solomon Islands. 

Over the years, we have had over 200 students head on trips, along with around 30 leaders serving alongside our team. ​We continue to be a volunteer-run project and seek further opportunities to grow and allow more students to take part in this great experience!
