What types of tours does Student Horizons offer?
We create customised educational, sports, music, and study based educational tours for schools. Each program is designed to deliver meaningful experiences that support learning, development, and engagement beyond the classroom.

Can you tailor a tour to suit our school’s needs?
Yes, every tour is tailored to your school’s goals, group size, subject focus, and preferred outcomes. This helps ensure each experience is relevant, well planned, and aligned with your broader learning objectives.

How do your tours support learning outcomes?
Our programs are designed to be education-focused and can be built around subject areas such as history, geography, languages, STEM, the arts, music, and sport. The goal is to connect travel with real-world learning in a way that is engaging, practical, and memorable for students.

What destinations can schools choose from?
Student Horizons delivers tours across Australia, New Zealand, North America, the UK, Europe, Asia, South America, and South Africa. Destinations are selected to suit the purpose of the tour, the age of the group, and the outcomes the school wants to achieve.

What are your common group sizes?
Our average group size for Year 6 Canberra trips is around 100 students, for short-haul tours it is approximately 45 participants, and for long-haul tours it is around 30 participants.

How do you support teachers and group organisers?
We support schools from planning through to departure, helping coordinate itineraries, logistics, information evenings, pre-departure briefings, student risk assessment sessions and the many moving parts that come with group travel. More often than not one of our team will travel with your group in the role of Logistics Director, taking care of all logistics on the tour so that teachers can focus on pastoral care and the educational delivery.

How do you approach student safety on tour?

Safety underpins everything we do at Student Horizons. Every supplier and ground handler we use undergoes rigorous risk assessment before being engaged, with services consistently monitored and destinations tracked against Australian, New Zealand, and UK government travel advice.

We partner with Crisis24, the world leader in risk intelligence, for 24/7 global threat monitoring, instant alerts, and direct access to their crisis response team — covering everything from evacuations to medical assistance. Our staff are also trained and audited by Cornerstone Safety Group, keeping our emergency procedures at the industry’s leading edge.

As a Certified Student Travel Organization (CSTO) via SYTA, we meet 25+ independently verified safety standards. Compulsory travel insurance and a 24-hour Australia/NZ-based support line round out our duty-of-care commitment — so every group is backed by expert systems and people, wherever they travel
