Just two weeks after the closing weekend, we’re taking a moment to reflect on the rollercoaster of a season that was 2021! Due to travel restrictions coming in and out of play across Victoria and New South Wales, only 15 of our lucky groups (almost 700 students and teachers!) got to delight in an alpine adventure! And that they certainly did…
Students from Kerang Technical High School managed to sneak in their trip to Hotham in between Victoria’s fifth and sixth lockdowns. They enjoyed pristine conditions and really excelled in their Snowsports lessons. Check out the video and photos below for a snapshot of their trip.

“A fabulous effort from all the students who attended the snow camp this week. After being postponed due to lockdown #5, the students were fortunate to attend Mt Hotham this week and thankfully finished skiing/boarding just in time before lockdown #6 started. Thank you to Mr Robinson, Mr Henry and Miss Ferrier for accompanying the students. A great week had by all.” – Kerang Technical High School (Facebook)
Eltham College also hit the slopes at Hotham earlier on in the season taking 70 students snowbound to make some epic memories! Their pictures say a thousand words…

Despite near blizzard conditions, they embraced new challenges and made memories to last a lifetime. (Casey Grammar School Facebook)
Outlook for 2022 – it’s looking bright!
To the groups who were forced to postpone their tours over the past two years, the best is yet to come – and the wait will be worth it! As the nation starts to reach vaccination targets, there is finally some certainty about the future of travel.
If you and your students have your sights set on a snow tour for 2022, we recommend getting in touch with one of our specialists as soon as possible to secure your group’s space. Pent up demand from past seasons and a short supply of school group accommodation means spots for 2022 are booking up fast.
Our Travel with Confidence policies give you peace of mind no matter what the future holds, so you can start planning now. Don’t miss out! Give your students the alpine adventure they’ve been dreaming about. Contact us on 1800 331 050 or email info@worldstrides.com.au
