Reflections from students and teachers on their trip to Cambodia (+ Video)

For 19 students and 3 teachers from Bishop Druitt College in Coffs Harbour, New South Wales, Edventure Travel organised an extraordinary tour to Cambodia last year before Christmas. 

In addition to learning about the concepts of justice and reconciliation, the school group was engaged in exploring and taking part in authentic experiences while admiring the ruins of the Khmer empire at the famed temples of Angkor, which are unmatched for scale and grandeur in Southeast Asia. Students helped repair a local school’s facilities and attended a workshop on child trafficking held by a nearby social enterprise. Other activities included a practical cooking class, bike excursions, touring historic temples, boat journeys, and experiencing rural life’s rhythms. 

The journey concentrated on ancient and modern history, national and international politics, and environmental concerns. We spoke with a number of students and teachers throughout the activity-rich tour for their opinions on their stay in Cambodia. 

The accompanying video may be of particular interest to teachers and tour organisers looking to understand the possibilities available to them and their students in Cambodia and learn more about us, Edventure Travel, as a professional and highly  experienced tour provider and ground operator.  

Watch the video to hear students and teachers reflect on their experiences in Cambodia in their own words.
