We are delighted to announce that a group of Dowdales students will be embarking on an exciting World Challenge expedition to Turkey in 2028!

This promises to be an incredible opportunity for our students to experience a new country, immerse themselves in a different culture and take on challenges that will help them grow both personally and as a team.

World Challenge is about much more than travelling. It is an opportunity for young people to step outside their comfort zones, develop independence, build resilience and confidence, learn valuable life skills and create memories that will last a lifetime.

From exploring new surroundings and experiencing Turkish culture to working together, overcoming challenges and embracing new experiences, this expedition is sure to be an unforgettable journey.

Help us make this adventure possible!

Getting ready for an expedition like this takes plenty of hard work, determination and fundraising!

Our students are taking on the challenge of raising funds to help towards the cost of their trip. Throughout the coming months, they will be organising and participating in a variety of fundraising activities and events.

We would love the support of our Dowdales Community, including parents, carers, former students, local businesses and friends of the school.

Every donation, no matter how big or small, will make a difference and bring our students one step closer to their Turkish adventure.
