A visit to the Kundasang War Memorial followed, paying tribute to prisoners of war, where they learnt about a key moment in history. The students also explored Desa Cattle Dairy Farm, often called the “Little New Zealand” of Sabah, surrounded by scenic mountain views.

Adventure continued as the students conquered the Poring Hot Springs’ Canopy Walkway, taking in stunning views 41 meters above the forest floor. They also enjoyed a river cruise, where they spotted wildlife such as proboscis monkeys and macaques.

On the final day, students visited the Bornean Sun Bear Conservation Centre and the Sepilok Orang Utan Rehabilitation Centre. They were able to see the care and rehabilitation efforts for these amazing creatures and learned about the importance of conservation. It was a humbling and eye-opening experience for all.

The trip concluded with a layover in Kuala Lumpur, where students enjoyed a quick sightseeing tour of the city’s iconic skyscrapers, including the famous Petronas Towers.

This trip was more than just an adventure; it was an opportunity for students to learn about different cultures, gain a deeper understanding of conservation, and experience the wonders of Borneo’s wildlife and nature. The memories made and lessons learned will undoubtedly stay with them for years to come.

A big thank you to staff members Mr Miller, Mrs Harris and Miss Sirrell for supporting students on this wonderful adventure.
