Great Vic
Join the Great Vic Bike Ride
The perfect school camp
Give your students the chance to experience a school camp like no other at the Great Vic Bike Ride. The Great Vic gets students outside and active, develops camaraderie, independence, resilience and teaches the value of achievement.
You’ll take away students excited for an adventure and return with a group of resilient young people united by a grand achievement.
While riding the traditional 9-day and 5-day event will sadly not be possible in 2021, we’re stoked to present a special edition four-day format— aptly named the Little Vic—that soaks up all the glory of the Grampians by bike. You can join this epic bike ride and camping adventure from 31 March – 3 April 2022.

“There’s a really strong sense of achievement that they (the kids) get out of that challenging experience.”
“It enabled us as teachers to develop a rapport with some of the kids for whom school was a bit challenging. This was an event where they could get in there and be really physical and really active. That had a spin-off in terms of getting alongside those kids and getting engaged with them more.”
