Aussie kids! Other countries that visit us are American,
Korean Chinese, Singapore, Hong Kong student groups.

INTERNATIONAL
STUDENT EXCHANGE - do
it naturally!
It is natural that students from
international destinations visiting Cairns are excited
about meeting like-minded, similar aged students from
Australia. Due to the influx of student groups that
Australia and indeed the far north Queensland region
receive, we have developed a program with our key
industry travel partners, that allows us to invite you
to forward a request for us to arrange an exchange
between your group, and an Australian school, here at
Mungalli Falls. We are able to do this simply because so
many of the local schools visit Mungalli Falls, and over
a number of years, we have been fortunate enough to
forge good working relationships with both public and
private schools, whereby such a program is approved by
the principal (on a case by case basis) and fits in to
the curriculum of the local school.
What we suggest is that you contact us,
(through your preferred agent), with your group size,
for example, 50 grade 6 children from Japan, and they
would like to do a full-day education based exchange
program with a local school, with the same amount of
children, in the same age group-
We then find the most suitable school,
invite them to participate, and from there, design an
itinerary. The most popular for a day exchange is as
follows:
9:00am
Arrive at Mungalli, welcome speech
and morning tea
9:30am
Meet your buddy for the day- This will be your
future pen-pal and they will act like a buddy
system similar to what they do in the schools, for
the day. Spend time asking each other questions to
get to know each other, then come back to the
group (broken to smaller groups if required) and
report back to the group about your new friends
name, where he lives, his hobbies and his age.
(First chance to use each others language whilst
they assist each other!)
10:00am
The Aussie Teacher(s) spend 45 minutes with
the Japanese students, teaching them some basic
English and simultaneously, the Japanese
teacher(s) do the same thing with the Aussie kids!
Weather dependant, this will be either indoors or
outdoors, or a combination of both.
11:00am
GROUP PHOTO (this will be electronic and
produce and forwarded to both schools)
11:15am
Bush walk together to the bottom of Mungalli
Falls to the platform (split in to separate groups
depending on the size) Here students will be
accompanied by our Botanist staff! We also provide
a translator so all benefit from the interesting,
educational talk that we give on the rainforest
eco-system
12:30pm
LUNCH (menus are varied and available on
application, but will be "all you can eat buffet"
arrangements
13:30pm
Afternoon of activities we suggest Photo
Opportunity, "Treasure
Hunt", "Orienteering",
& "Team
(raft) Building" Only in Raft-building, will
the participants get wet, and they are all onsite
activities. Activities listed here can easily be
rotated for larger groups. Or for example, with
the students "buddy" many small groups will be
created all to do one activity.
16:00pm
Students return to Waterfall
Cafe for afternoon tea and farewell from
staff
16:30pm
Depart Mungalli Falls and farewell new friends
