Education, exchange and island adventure
Spend ten days in the Philippines, beginning in Cavite just south of Manila, where four school mornings combine classroom observation, team teaching and professional exchange with visits to local schools and a professional development workshop designed and delivered by the group. Working with our long-standing partner OzPhil College of Cavite, the program balances meaningful school engagement with free afternoons before finishing with two days exploring Cebu.
