World Challenge Expedition leader, Mikaela Foxworthy, along with Girton Grammar staff members, were working with their groups to ensure students understood responsibilities around leadership, accommodation, budget, transport, health and hygiene and rest and recreation. Each student will be responsible for their group in one of these areas, with the responsibility rotating between students in the group during the trip.
