A study tour that your curriculum leader will sign off on.

Curriculum-aligned. VIT-registered teachers. Documented learning outcomes for every session. Everything your head of school, risk committee, and parent body will ask for — already prepared.

In partnership with
Borderless Growth JCT Coaches Together Co-living Campus Melbourne
What we do for schools

Three things that matter more than brochure photos.

Students remember a good trip. Curriculum leaders remember a trip that aligns to their programs of study, a risk register that already accounts for your school's policies, and a partnership that doesn't send them chasing suppliers mid-trip.

01

Documented learning outcomes

Every session across 7 days has a named educational purpose and a measurable outcome. Written by VIT-registered teachers, not travel marketers. Forwardable to your curriculum committee in one click.

02

One accountable Melbourne partner

Instead of chasing a coach company, a school, an accommodation provider, and a curriculum team separately, you have one contract with us and we coordinate the four specialists underneath. Single invoice, single point of contact, single risk register.

03

A full day inside an Australian school

Not a campus tour. Your students are paired with local buddies, sit in real classes, and collaborate on projects over lunch. The hardest logistical thing in study tours — and it's included, not optional.

Curriculum alignment

Mapped against the Australian Curriculum, not bolted onto it.

Melbourne Young Leaders is structured around the three cross-curriculum priorities and the four general capabilities of the Australian Curriculum. For international schools, we also map against the IB framework on request.

Cross-curriculum priorities
Priority 01

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Histories and Cultures

Day 2 classroom session on Indigenous connection to land; Day 3 Sovereign Hill migration narrative including Indigenous impacts; Day 4 cultural context embedded in Melbourne's sporting history.

Priority 02

Asia and Australia's Engagement with Asia

Day 2 classroom on multicultural Australia; cross-cultural communication threads throughout; specifically valuable for students coming from Asian markets encountering Australia as a Asia-Pacific nation.

Priority 03

Sustainability

Day 2 classroom on environment and wildlife; Day 3 Ballarat Wildlife Park with conservation staff; environmental impact of colonisation covered at Sovereign Hill.

General capabilities covered
Communication Collaboration Creativity Critical thinking Intercultural understanding Personal & social capability English language proficiency

Safety for institutions

The safety story your risk committee needs to hear.

Three things that put MYL ahead of generic study tours when your institution's lawyers and risk officers look under the hood.

VIT registration + WWCC on every educator

Every Borderless Growth teacher holds current Victorian Institute of Teaching registration, a Working with Children Check, and full background clearance. Two teachers on every off-site excursion, plus a dedicated floater teacher/guide across all 7 days.

Professionally-managed accommodation

Campus Melbourne is a managed student residence — not a hostel, not a hotel — with 24/7 staffed reception, RFID audit trail, individual room key cards, and lift access restricted to residents. The same building used by Melbourne Uni and RMIT students daily.

Clear duty of care partnership

Campus Melbourne provides the physical security infrastructure. Your accompanying school teachers retain overnight pastoral duty of care. The split is explicit in the Risk Management Statement — no ambiguity about who is responsible for what.

How it works

From first enquiry to your students on the plane home.

01

Initial enquiry & proposal

Email us with indicative group size, age bracket, and preferred dates. Within 24 hours we send a full proposal — itinerary, inclusions, transparent tiered pricing for your group size, terms. No obligation.

02

Educator Pack review with your leadership

We send the complete Educator Pack — curriculum alignment, learning outcomes, risk management, journal sample — for your head of school and curriculum leader to review. We jump on a call if it helps.

03

Confirmation & booking

Sign contracts, lock accommodation and school integration date, pay deposit. Typical deposit is 20%; balance due 60 days before departure. We send pre-departure parent communication templates for you to circulate.

04

Optional pre-departure readiness

In the 4 weeks before departure, students can optionally join the Borderless Growth Online Readiness Program — 3 sessions covering meet-the-teachers, baseline English, and what-to-expect. From $70/student.

05

7 days in Melbourne

We handle every supplier on the ground. Your accompanying teachers retain pastoral duty of care; we handle everything else — transport, education, accommodation, excursions, meals, presentations, certificates.

06

Post-tour reporting

After departure, you receive a post-tour report covering learning outcome attainment, attendance, student feedback themes, and incidents (if any). Your curriculum leader gets evidence to include in next year's planning cycle.

Frequently asked by schools

Questions your curriculum leader will ask us.

What's the student-to-supervisor ratio?
Two Borderless Growth VIT-registered teachers attend every off-site excursion, plus a dedicated floater teacher/guide across all 7 days. Your accompanying school teachers retain overnight pastoral duty of care at roughly 1:10 ratio depending on your school's policy — we support whatever ratio your risk register requires.
How does this align to our programs of study?
Request the Curriculum Alignment Map — it maps every session to Australian Curriculum priorities. We can also produce IB learner-profile alignment, UK/US curriculum mapping, or subject-specific mapping (Geography, History, English, HSIE) on request.
What happens in an emergency?
Full incident response protocol is documented in the Risk Management Statement. Summary: 24/7 staffed Campus Melbourne reception; Borderless Growth teachers with first aid certification on every excursion; Melbourne hospital network within 15 minutes of Campus; pre-arranged communication tree to your school and to parents.
Can we customise the itinerary?
Day 6 is intentionally flexible and is almost always customised. Other days can be adjusted for groups of 30+ — e.g., swapping a specific excursion, adjusting classroom content for a specific subject focus, or extending a day. We finalise customisation in the proposal stage.
What about dietary requirements, allergies, and SEN students?
Campus Melbourne's kitchen accommodates halal, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and major allergen requirements as standard. We collect student medical and dietary information at booking. SEN accommodations are handled case-by-case — please discuss specific needs at enquiry stage.
Can we meet Tom Bromley-Lynch (Borderless Growth) before committing?
Yes. For qualified school enquiries we offer a pre-booking call with Tom (education partner) and Stephen (tour organiser) to walk your leadership through the program, answer curriculum questions, and discuss your specific group. Request through the enquiry form.
Do you provide parent communication templates?
Yes. Once booked, we provide a parent information pack your school can customise and circulate — covering itinerary, accommodation, safety, packing list, emergency contacts, and a pre-tour Q&A document for parents.
