World Challenge: Borneo 2026!

Over the summer holidays, 12 of our students from Years 9 to 11 travelled to Borneo for an unforgettable World Challenge expedition, accompanied by Miss Knatchbull, Miss Bliss and their World Challenge leader, Violette.

Across 16 days, the students immersed themselves in the culture, communities and incredible landscapes of Sarawak. From exploring Kuching and local markets, to trekking through the rainforest, staying in remote communities, learning traditional skills and eating plenty of delicious Malaysian pineapple!

The students also took part in a community initiative with an Iban community, helping with the construction of a new longhouse, sieving sand, picking pepper, planting trees and learning about traditional cooking, crafts and ways of life. They trekked to the river, cooked lunch over an open fire and shared wonderful experiences with members of the local community.

There were plenty of adventures along the way too, from seeing an orangutan at the Semenggoh Wildlife Centre, to exploring caves, learning to cook local dishes, enjoying cultural performances and experiencing the Kuching Food Festival.

Perhaps most importantly, the students developed independence, resilience, teamwork and confidence. They took responsibility for managing money, time, food and group organisation, tackled challenges far outside their comfort zones and supported one another throughout.

From bucket showers and mosquito nets to rainforest treks, tropical storms, new friendships and unforgettable sunsets, this was certainly a trip they will never forget.

A huge thank you to Miss Knatchbull and Miss Bliss for giving so much of their time, energy and care to the trip, supporting the students through every challenge and helping to make this experience so special. Thank you also to Violette and all of the wonderful local guides and communities who made the journey possible.

We are incredibly proud of everything our students achieved and the way they embraced every challenge, experience and opportunity along the way.

What an adventure!

What a wonderful way to round off the school year! Our Senior School Commemoration Day was a celebration of achievement, talent and the many memorable moments that have made this year so special.
 
We were delighted to welcome our guest speaker, Musharaf Asghar, who shared his inspiring story of overcoming challenges and encouraged our pupils to believe in themselves, embrace resilience and never give up on their ambitions. We also enjoyed a beautiful performance from our choir and a brilliant snippet from this year’s fantastic production of The Addams Family.
 
The presentation of cups, plates and certificates celebrated the many achievements of our pupils, while the passing of leadership roles to our new Head Girl and Deputy Head Girl marked an exciting moment for the year ahead. We also said a fond farewell to our Class of 2026, with each leaver receiving their very own Abbot’s Hill bear, a special keepsake to remind them that they will always be part of our community as they embark on their next adventures.
 
A huge thank you to everyone who worked tirelessly behind the scenes to make the day such a success, from our Grounds, Music, Drama and Catering teams to all the staff and pupils who helped create such a memorable occasion.
 
Congratulations to all of our award winners, and to the Class of 2026, we wish you every success and happiness for the future. Once an Abbot’s Hill pupil, always part of the Abbot’s Hill family.
