Chiang Mai
The Chiang Mai Experience was introduced in 2003 as an optional program involving Year 9 students spending several weeks in Northern Thailand.
This unique experience is designed as an inclusive ‘self-discovery journey’ endeavouring to lead students to a deep self-understanding, self-awareness and true independence. It also serves to provide students with a deep and lasting sense of international mindedness, where an understanding, acceptance and respect for different cultures, religions and ways of life become a hallmark of their character.
