It is a journey that would challenge even the most fit bushwalkers as we follow the path of the Kokoda Track in Papua New Guinea on which Australia and Japan engaged in bitter warfare during World War II. It is an unforgiving and rugged wilderness that previous students of the college describe as an unforgettable and a challenging experience. During the June/July holidays in 2020, Thomas Hassall Anglican College will once again embark on this journey and we are now putting out the call for all current Year 9/10 students and parents who are interested in embarking on this journey with us.
We will spend 11 days in Papua New Guinea, emersing ourselves within the culture of local village life and hear about the history of the battles that were fought to gain a deeper understanding of the warfare that took place so close to our country. There will be an initial student meeting during lunch on Thursday 14th March for students and this will be followed up with a parent meeting of all interested students towards the end of term 1.
All enquiries can be directed to Mr Kaye in L2 or via email: [email protected]. We look forward to seeing you there.
Mr Phillip Kaye
Kokoda Coordinator & Director of Welfare (Senior Years)
