We have arrived safe and sound in Phnom Pehn after a long day of travel.
An exciting Tuk Tuk ride from the airport and a delicious dinner has us very, very ready for bed.
A big day tomorrow with lots of stories to share.
Miss Glacken, Mr Biddle, Mrs Kirby
Dear students and parents,
We hope you all had a lovely festive period.
This tour has really snuck up on us and now it is only days away!
A few things to keep in mind as you are packing and planning for Friday;
We will arrive in Singapore at 11:55am, with a four-hour layover. We arrive in Phnom Penh at 6:05pm, where we will meet our RAW tour leader and be shuttled to our hotel.
Emergency contact number on the ground in Cambodia is 0489 994 307 – however this is emergency only. I will still be contactable by email (eleanor.glacken@ststephens.wa.edu.au) and we will be updating the blog daily with stories and photos.
Please get in touch if you have any other questions or queries 🙂
I know that we are so excited and can’t wait to share this amazing experience with you!
All the best,
Miss Glacken, Mr Biddle, Mrs Kirby
Dear all,
This is just a reminder of the details of our dinner at Tamarind tonight. Our booking is for 6:30pm and we expect to wrap up at 8-8:30pm. Parents and students are both welcome 🙂 There is plenty of parking in the Mezz carpark.
We are getting pretty close to our leaving date, with just over a month to go! Keep those Evisas and immunisation emails coming – can I ask that you send me these by the 6th of December? Thank you to those people who have already sent theirs through.
Our fundraising due date is also fast approaching, with your funds due into your EDH account by the 10th of December. This is the time to ask your family, friends and work colleagues for a few extra dollars to get you over the line.
If you have any questions about anything, please get in contact.
Looking forward to seeing you all tonight 🙂
Ms Glacken, Mrs Kirby, Mr Biddle

Dear Cambodia Tour members & parents,
I hope you all had a fun and restful break.
We have a busy term coming up for Cambodia Tour with two meetings to look forward to! Our first meeting is our Cultural meeting this Wednesday the 31st and it will be at Duncraig, starting at 4pm. Carramar students, Mrs Kirby will take you there and back on the coaster so please meet her behind the Science Building (near Makaria) at 3:30.
The following meeting will on the 15th of August, 4pm at Carramar. We are very lucky to have a guest speaker joining us to teach us some Khmer words and phrases! If you would like to get ahead of the game, you can download a free app ‘Simply Learn Khmer’ (the one with the elephant).
A reminder that these meetings are not optional, so we look forward to seeing you all there!
Can I also ask that you send me through a scan of your passport (on the photo page) so that I can pass them onto RAW Impact to get our flights organised (my email: eleanor.glacken@ststephens.wa.edu.au). If your passport expires before the end of July 2020, you will need to organise to renew your passport. If this is you, here is some more information: https://www.passports.gov.au/passports-explained/passport-renewal
Unless you are renewing your passports, can I please have these scans by the 16th of August.
Best wishes and looking forward to catching up with you all on Wednesday!
Ms Glacken, Mrs Kirby and Mr Biddle.
