World Challenge Students Arrive in Borneo

Published by Cobham Hall on Wednesday 15th of July 2026

Our World Challenge students arrived in Borneo last week and have since been embracing every opportunity to learn, lead and explore! 🌴

From discovering the fascinating history of Kota Kinabalu and watching breathtaking sunsets over the sea, to sampling local flavours at the market, everyday so far has offered a deeper insight into Bornean culture and life. 🌊☀️

A key part of the expedition is student leadership. Each day, our student group rotate through roles including Day Boss, Safety Officer, Accountant, Wellbeing Lead, Photographer and Food Coordinator. They’re responsible for managing budgets, planning meals, coordinating with the ground crew, organising drink breaks and supporting one another’s wellbeing.

So far, the adventure has been filled with unforgettable experiences, from snorkelling and kayaking around the local island, to a beach BBQ and exploring the region’s incredible marine life. 🏝️🐠
