At Kennedy Baptist College, we believe in the transformative power of travel. We aim for our students to foster a deeper understanding of different cultures, histories and landscapes while encouraging students to step out of their comfort zone and embrace new perspectives.
We are delighted to present an array of enriching travel experiences specifically designed for the students of Kennedy Baptist College. Our tours are crafted to provide an extraordinary blend of adventure, education, and personal growth opportunities.
During the school holidays 26 students and staff attended the inaugural Japan Ski Tour. The week-long tour included many highlights.
One of the highlights in Tokyo was visiting the teamLab Planets immersive art installations. The four large-scale artworks and two garden art installations are creative, technological marvels unlike anything seen before.
En route to Hakuba the tour group visited the Jigokudani Monkey Park where they observed the Japanese macaques, commonly known as snow monkeys, soaking in a geothermal hot spring surrounded by snow. For some students, this was their first time seeing snow.
Skiing and snowboarding in the Japanese Alps surrounding the town of Hakuba was the ultimate highlight for many tour participants. The students were treated to superb snow conditions and were able to maximise the opportunity to develop their skiing or snowboarding ability.
Japan is truly a skiing destination of choice; the tour staff are currently planning the 2026 Ski Tour.
Our tours go beyond the classroom, allowing students to expand their horizons and develop essential life skills. They will have the chance to explore new destinations, conquer personal challenges and create lifelong connections with their peers.
