School Excursions & Incursions
Create Engaging Learning Experiences Beyond the Classroom
We understand that it’s becoming increasingly difficult to engage students in our modern world of distractions. Our school event activities require participants to be in the present moment, work together as a team and recognise that everybody has something different to offer and contribute. All while having a mountain of FUN along the way!
Attention: School Event Planners! If you have set learning objectives such as teamwork, goal setting, time management, leadership and communication, or learnings related to the curriculum, we can gamify these objectives as a fun school excursion or school incursion so students experience them in real time. These school events offer students a unique opportunity to learn about themselves, work together in a team and form a connection with their peers.
Our school events are inclusive, supportive, encouraging, value-driven and goal-oriented. This ensures everyone has a great time by enabling them to excel in areas of interest and skill sets. They can take the form of a school excursion, a school incursion or even as part of a school carnival or other celebration!
So, if you are a school activity planner looking for a great school event – what are you waiting for? Explore our range of events and let’s FUN!
Learning + Fun = Us
Someone once said ‘learning stuff is easier when it’s fun’. We’re not sure who that was but we’re 100% sure they’re right!
Education specialists have been looking into the benefits of having fun and its impact on learning, and the truth is that when you’re engaged in an activity that you find fun, you increase the chance of remembering what you’ve learnt due to a rise in dopamine, the brain’s ‘memory chemical’. That’s great news because having fun and growing your knowledge shouldn’t be mutually exclusive.
School event planners have been coming to us for their school events for years, and often the same schools will come and do similar events with us, with different age-groups, year after year! Our school excursions and school incursions can be a great way to kick off a new year, or a new term. They can also be a fun way to introduce new leadership groups and get students working together in a unique way. Our school events can also make up part of a longer school carnival, or more simply be a fun way to finish off a school year, celebrate impending graduation and have some proper fun!
The Teamwork Side to the Games
Our awesome school events offer teachers and students the ability to jump out of the classroom and into a range of challenges and puzzles designed to emphasise teamwork and problem solving through physical and mental games.
Teamwork
It’s important to note that no one fails in a school event, but teams do learn first-hand that we’re stronger together than we are alone.
Time Management
Students learn how to get through challenges within time limits together as a team.
Leadership
Learning to negotiate with people in a semi-stressful challenge (that is still a game) is an important lesson to learn.
Why brands, teams, friends, and family can’t get enough of Great Race!
Just wanted to personally thank you for the session you and your team provided at the U@UNSW conference. It really met all our boxes and aligned with my debrief. Its especially refreshing to partner with an organisation who just get it without the need for micro-management. So… THANK YOU. I look forward to working with you guys again in the future.

Overall it was a perfect team day and all members of my team certainly enjoyed being out of the office and making their way around the city! Discovering new spots that they had not encountered previously, i.e. a couple of landmark around The Rocks. On behalf of everyone in the team, I would like to say Thank You very much for facilitating such a great day out for us… Cheers!

Our group absolutely enjoyed every part of the race. We experienced so much laughter, joy, banter and competitiveness. The fact that all of the challenges involved everyone, made it enjoyable. Our host Sam was THE BEST!!! She made the race exciting and made us all laugh especially at prize giving!! It’s been three days since the race and everyone’s still talking about it and are already talking about a rematch.

Our team had an absolute blast participating in the Amazing Race! It was the perfect mix of fun, friendly competition, and teamwork. We saw everyone’s competitive side come out, shared plenty of laughs, and built connections in new ways. The challenges were engaging and kept us on our toes, making for an unforgettable experience.
