Tours & Experiences

Cultural immersion and outdoor education are core to a Caulfield Grammar education.

Our Secondary students have the opportunity to experience a range of domestic and international tours including music, sports, theatre, language immersion, career opportunities, STEM, the Year 9 Kakadu Program in the Northern Territory and the Year 10 Odyssey Program.

These experiences build on current skills and provide opportunities for students to immerse themselves in diverse environments and cultures, fostering cultural awareness, empathy and independence. It also allows our students to share social time, be involved in community work, make a difference and display a generosity of spirit.

Tours may be held each year, or on a two- to three-year cycle.
