Had an amazing time. Clare was a fantastic leader. We really loved the school and learnt so much from the Principal, teachers and students. We experienced the Philippines culture and have so many experiences and ideas that we can take back to our own teaching practices. The trip to Cebu was incredible. Our group worked together so well and we all had a wonderful time. Thanks so much.

This was my second trip with GT and I loved every moment of it. Sri Lanka was so beautiful and every person I met was lovely and so happy to share their culture and country with me. The school was a fantastic experience. We were welcomed the minute we got there and students and teachers were so eager to learn from us. Fair warning, you'll need a second suitcase to fit all the gifts given to you by staff, students and families! I travelled with an amazing group. With everyone being so open minded and flexible, we got to visit places not in the original itinerary, including a safari where I got to see the beautiful elephants in their natural environment. Absolutely recommend to anyone looking to fill their soul and remember why you went into education in the first place.

Travelling to Vanuatu in 2026 with Global Teacher was an incredibly enriching and life-changing experience. It was the ultimate win-win: I had the privilege of fully immersing myself in a beautiful culture while collaborating with local educators to share professional knowledge and skills. The Global Teacher leaders were true professionals who handled every logistics detail seamlessly but also had a great sense of humour. No challenge was too big for them, and their constant support allowed us to focus entirely on our mission. One of the absolute highlights was witnessing the pure, radiant joy on the children's faces when we brought out bubbles and chalk for some playtime. It is a heartwarming memory I will cherish forever. I have made lifelong friends through this journey, and I truly believe that every educator should experience a Global Teacher program. It is an invaluable opportunity to grow both personally and professionally!

The trip to Vanuatu was an amazing experience. It only did I get to work with beautiful children ,I met some incredible educators. Everything about the experience was so well organized and an experience I won't forget.I recommend it to all teachers

Sri Lanka has been such a phenomenal experience through the GT program. It was the first time any of us had been to Sri Lanka and the first time this program had been run there, which made it even more special. We all met in Colombo and instantly clicked as a group. From there, we travelled by private van to Batticaloa, stopping along the way to visit a national park where we saw beautiful elephants in their natural habitat. We also had the opportunity to climb Pidurangala Rock, with incredible views overlooking Sigiriya (Lion Rock). The history of Lion Rock was amazing to learn about. Arriving in Batticaloa, the school completely stole my heart. The campus was surrounded by beautiful natural scenery, creating such a peaceful environment to learn in. We were welcomed with so much kindness and gratitude by Father Roshan, and it didn’t take long to build genuine connections with the staff. My time at the school was truly unforgettable. I was surrounded by an amazing team, and I formed such strong connections with both the students and staff. I loved seeing the different ways they approached learning, and they were so open and excited to embrace some of the teaching strategies I shared. Leaving the school was incredibly difficult because the relationships we built became so meaningful. Receiving personalised cards from the students and staff was such a thoughtful gesture that I will always treasure. After our time at the school, we had the chance to unwind in the beautiful beaches of Pasikudah before travelling to Kandy, where we enjoyed an incredible cultural dance performance. We also added Bentota to our journey, which was the perfect way to finish the trip with a relaxing river safari before returning to Colombo. A huge thank you to Mike, whose leadership, flexibility and support throughout the trip were exceptional. He made the experience seamless and enjoyable for everyone. This trip has given me memories that I’ll cherish forever, friendships, and experiences that I will never forget. I cannot recommend Sri Lanka enough. It is a country filled with breathtaking beauty, incredibly kind people, and experiences that will stay with you long after you leave.
