Immersions

Cambodia Immersion

Our Cambodia Immersion offers students a profound journey of service, reflection and personal growth. Over two weeks, our students engage with local communities, learn from Cambodia’s inspiring resilience, and contribute to meaningful projects such as building toilets for families, supporting children’s homes and teaching in local schools. Away from their comfort zones, students develop empathy, humility and a deeper understanding of global inequality. Most importantly, they return home transformed - more aware, more compassionate, and more grounded in their responsibility to contribute positively to the world.

Timor-Leste Immersion

The Timor-Leste Immersion invites students into a vibrant and resilient culture, where they learn through genuine connection and shared daily life. By staying with local families, supporting learning in village schools, and engaging with communities shaped by a challenging history, students gain a deeper understanding of gratitude, humility and global inequality. Free from technology and immersed in unfamiliar routines, they discover their own adaptability, forge strong friendships and develop a renewed appreciation for the opportunities they enjoy at home. The experience nurtures confidence, empathy and a broader worldview, leaving students changed in meaningful and lasting ways.

Fiji Immersion

Our Fiji Immersion invites students into the heart of village life, where community, generosity and joy shape every moment. Living simply alongside local families, students take part in cultural traditions, support school communities, and experience first-hand the strength of Fijian values. Daily interactions with children, shared meals, and time spent learning and contributing reveal a way of life grounded in connection rather than material comfort. Through this immersion, students return home with a renewed understanding of what it means to live with purpose, community and an open heart.

The most valuable thing I learned from the Fiji immersion would have to be not taking things for granted. The people that lived in Fiji had very little in terms of material items and yet they were quite possibly the happiest people I have ever met. Everyone always had smiles on their faces and they welcomed us with open arms despite not knowing us. They taught me the value of community and how you don't need lots of money to appreciate life. A personal highlight for me would definitely be getting to paint the inside of a building. Getting to work together with the Fijians was a really nice experience and allowed us Waverley boys to interact with people of all ages. It was a really nice bonding experience for all of us and allowed us to give back a fraction of the kindness that they had shown us.
