Student Tours
International and Domestic Student Tours
Pymble students have a wide range of opportunities to explore Australia and the world with the Domestic and International Tours program. Participating in school-organised tours provides in-depth educational experiences, builds independence and creates lifelong memories.
Supported at every step
The Travel Team
Pymble’s Tour Program is supported by a dedicated Travel Team that coordinates planning, logistics, documentation and risk management for domestic and international student travel.
International SOS
For overseas trips and tours, the College also partners with International SOS, who provide destination-specific advice, real-time travel intelligence, and 24-hour medical and security support during travel, including in-country assistance where needed.
2025 Around the World
In 2025, Pymble students travelled far and wide on a diverse range of international tours, such as the Italian Language Tour, World Robotics competitions, Language Arts Tour to compete in the Model United Nations competition in The Hague, Tanzania Service Tour, European History Tour and Japan Language Tour.
Looking to 2026
In 2026, international travel opportunities include World Robotics competitions in the USA, Dance Tour to the USA, Drama Tour to London and Paris, Textiles Tour to Milan, Italy, Vietnam Service Tour, Academic Tour to Oxford UK, Tottenham Football Tour to UK and Barcelona and a Language Arts Europe tour culminating in the Model United Nations conference in The Hague.
Closer to home
Domestically there are a wide variety of sporting competition trips throughout the year, as well as a planned Central Australia Cultural Immersion in 2027.
In 2027 and beyond we will continue to offer students a range of academic, cultural, service and sporting opportunities, both domestically and internationally.
Types of tours
Language tours are designed to immerse students in the destination country and allow them to experience speaking the language and learn the culture of the country they are visiting.
Sport tours are tailored to students who are passionate about sport. These tours may include playing sport whilst on tour, competing, watching games and training with local clubs, as well as some sightseeing!
Performing Arts tours aim to showcase the culture of countries visited whilst offering students the opportunity to play music/attend shows and concerts and experience performing arts around the world.
Service tours provide an opportunity for students to get off the usual tourist path and into the local community where they will participate in community service and be immersed in the local culture, in addition to exploring the country and enjoying adventurous activities with friends. These tours are all about contribution, connection and fun.
Cultural tours offer students the opportunity to be immersed in a country/region and learn about its history and local customs, whilst enjoying the sights, food and connection with the local people.
Academic tours give students the chance to deepen their understanding of an area they are passionate about and extend their knowledge in a global setting. Students come away with a greater appreciation of concepts and are inspired for future opportunities.
Timeline of Tours
Please note most tours are offered bi-annually to multiple year levels, so students will have an opportunity to attend a certain tour one year or the next.
