Gold Residential Project
The Gold Residential Project offers Gold Award Participants unique experiences that truly broaden horizons and challenges their outlook. At the heart of the Gold Residential Project is the undertaking of purposeful experience with people who are not their usual companions, working towards a common goal!
Duration
min. 4 nights & 5 days
Cost
There will be a cost for any Residential Project due to accommodation and activity fees. This is to be organised by the student and families, so please research thoroughly. The average Residential Project will cost anywhere between a few hundred dollars to just over $1,000.
Who Organises It?
The Gold Residential Project is organised by the student and family.
Students will need to research avenues they would like to pursue and speak to Ms Gallace to see if the activity fits the correct criteria. Once approved, the student will need to book and organise their Gold Residential Project.
