Uplift Events

With over 20 years of experience, Uplift Events can tailor a program for schools from primary to tertiary in the private and public sector. We specialise in incursions, excursions and city experiences for students from different ages and backgrounds whether it be on campus, in the Melbourne or Sydney CBD or in a major city or town in VIC and NSW.

City Experience Programs

Our signature City Discovery event is specifically designed for students as part of their City Experience. The event is best described as an Amazing Race meets city exploration requiring students to plan and think independently. It boosts con­fidence, improves teamwork, planning and problem-solving while having fun at the same time.

We offer a tech-based solution, with students using their smart phones to complete the event (ideal for secondary students), or a more traditional paper-based version (ideal for primary students) for those who don’t wish for students to use their phones.

The event is hands-on, engaging, educational and can be tailored to encompass the school curriculum, learning outcomes and include visits to any iconic locations or attractions.

School Excursions

If you’re coming into the CBD, we can make that experience unique and fun while capturing all that city has to offer. Whether it is an Amazing Race style adventure with our City Discovery event, or participating in escape room inspired events at Pentridge Prison or on the famous Polly Woodside, we can tailor a program for the students from all ages.

School Incursions

If you prefer to stay on campus, Uplift Events can come to you to design and tailor an engaging program around the school grounds. We can bring the Amazing Race adventure to you on campus with many exciting activities for the students to participate in. We also bring all the equipment, so teachers can just sit back and observe how the students interact and engage with the activities. Students can develop their teamwork, collaboration and communication skills while promoting their critical thinking. Our other programs like LEGO Brick Master are perfect for the creative minds, and School Olympics will suit those after something sporty with less exploration.
