Welcome Teachers

The Brink Expedition hopes to excite, inspire and capture the interest and imagination of students across the globe. The Brink School Room will deliver stimulating real life modules of study for students to demonstrate outcomes at a range of levels over the school years 2003 to 2007.

We would like to encourage you to take advantage of the Brink Expeditions professionally developed curriculum. Our online modules are structured using the Australian Education Council’s guidelines for the SOSE syllabus (Studies of Society and Environment for grades 1 to 10).

A Message from Anna Bligh

Deputy Premier of QLD [Former Minister for Education]

"The Brink Expedition’s e-journey will foster greater understandings between countries and cultures and broaden school students’ understanding of the world around them. I applaud these young men for using the Brink Expedition to promote the value of education and to foster closer ties between young people across the world.”

A Message from Dr Brian Hoepper

Queensland University of Technology

“As the boys of the Brink Expedition cycle across the globe, their intrepid journey offers teachers and students a fresh and valuable way to learn about our increasingly globalised world. The boys’ extraordinary trip across time, space and cultures will be mirrored in many classrooms, providing a real-life framework for the curriculum in Studies of Society and Environment.”
