School Travel Collective
Travel to Learn, alongside two other leading student group travel companies, are the founders of the School Travel Collective (STC). Together we have taken all the challenges and concerns that have been raised from both the parent and school communities, and in conjunction with the MOE guidelines, set out a framework for schools to work from, and created a new benchmark for operators in the school group travel market.
STC was formed to help reset and provide confidence in the school travel sector’s financial stability, through the cornerstone of Travel Agents Association of New Zealand (TAANZ) financial bonding and reporting, to ensure security and peace of mind for schools and their communities. Additionally protecting our young women and men through rigorous health and safety, duty of care practices, and adopting Ministry of Education (MOE) best practice guidelines.
