Unable to travel to Far North Queensland as planned this year, and still looking for a unique interactive cultural experience?
The Great Barrier Reef Academy is an on-line virtual school offering Virtual Study Tours and was created as a response to COVID-19. This enabled us the opportunity to continue to provide life changing experiences for some of the many students and schools that were left disappointed by cancelled programs. “Our business and our clients are our family”. Some of our schools have been with us for more than 15 years and we needed to provide a product that would include interactive, engaging experiences and quantifiable learning outcomes.
Through the use of robotics and innovation, together, with our partners from secondary, vocational and university, we can provide a range of practical, innovative Virtual Edu-Tourism Programs that suit the needs of both individuals and groups.
Programs can be focused around vocational or higher education lectures with live streamed virtual classes or students may experience a combination of unique interactive edu-tourism and cultural activities.
Our programs enable participants to continue to develop greater knowledge of the world around us, create potential ongoing relationships, enable our overseas participants to continue to develop their English language skills and be a positive and engaging exercise for everyone involved.
Each student receives a certificate, becomes an ambassador of Cairns and has a tree planted for them in Cairns encouraging an ongoing connection to our region.
Our programs “create life changing experiences; build life-long friendships; achieve lifetime memories”.
