Our wonderful 2023 Kokoda Trekers

The ExServos have been a supporter & sponsor of the Kokoda Youth Leadership Challenge for many years and are very proud to sponsor exceptional Year 11 students each year from Ulladulla High School to partake in the trek.

The Kokoda Youth Leadership Challenge includes a strenuous 10-day trek across the original Kokoda trail in Papua New Guinea, following the path of the diggers who sacrificed their lives for us. It creates a greater awareness of these sacrifices and provides a deeper insight into the challenges faced by the diggers. It is physically demanding and not only provides the students with an indepth view into the experiences of the diggers, but helps develop and nuture leadership skills that translate back into the community.

This year after not being able to send any students for 3 years due to covid, the Club decided to select 4 lucky students. They returned home from the trek this month and we had the pleasure to catch up with them and hear about their life changing experience! Check out this short video with Harrison, Ellie, Mia and Claire and keep up to date with more of their stories over the next couple of weeks.

We would also like to thank Ulladulla High School and the Milton Ulladulla RSL Sub Branch for their continued support of this fantastic award!
