FAQ’s
As a leader in our industry, Schoolies Reimagined takes the health and safety of our students extremely seriously.

Fully qualified expert Australian Leaders plus local multilingual guides.

Once your child arrives safely at their destination, you will receive a safe arrival email from us within 24 hours. After this email, no news is good news! However, we will let you know once they have all cleared customs on their travels home.
Generally, we suggest that travellers try to unplug from technology and connect with their program experience. Programs vary in remoteness, but most provide the opportunity for your child to email or otherwise contact you. We suggest working out these expectations with your child before the trip starts.
We are an inclusive company and will go out of our way to make sure every traveller can travel safely and comfortably. We can cater for students with a variety of health conditions and dietary requirements. We work with the individual to make sure any medical conditions are appropriately managed while overseas. All students must complete a comprehensive medical form, participants will not be permitted to travel on any Schoolies Reimagined trip unless all required forms have been received in our Australian office at least 30 days prior to the commencement of the applicant’s trip.
We like the way you think! Travellers seem to get so much more from the trip if they help fund the trip themself. It’s a sense of independence and ownership not to mention the life skills of budgeting and saving. Travellers can raise all, or part of the cost through part-time work, sponsorship or fundraising events. We’ve put together a useful guide to help them out with fundraising. Please contact us for a copy.
Nope, all our trips are already fully planned all the students need to do is choose a location and click book. They can contact our Schoolies Reimagined team directly if they have any questions. Way easier than trying to fight the crowds and book their own trip on the Gold Coast or Byron.
We are travel experts but we aren’t doctors so we can’t give specific medical advice for travellers. We recommend you speak to a Travel Doctor, or your GP, for advice about vaccinations for the specific country your child will be travelling to. Don’t leave this to the last minute as some vaccinations need a timed out double dose before commencing the trip.
Nope. Travellers will be roomed separately for the duration of the Schoolies Reimagined trip.
