OUR STORY
What if we could do something that actually mattered — something that connected the things we love (movement, community, adventure) with a cause that changes real lives?
That question led to The Big S'Cool Walk. A group of passionate business owners from across Australia, united by a shared love of the Philippines and a belief that education is the most powerful thing you can give a child, came together to build something with real purpose.
What started as a grassroots fundraiser has grown into an annual international event that brings walkers, donors, volunteers and local communities together for three unforgettable days on Siquijor Island.
WHAT DRIVES US
We're business owners, operators, and community leaders from across Australia. Different industries, different cities — but the same belief that success means nothing unless you use it to lift others.
Our team and supporters span Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and beyond. We're Australians who care about the world beyond our borders.
The Philippines holds a special place in our hearts. The warmth of its people, the beauty of its islands, and the resilience of its communities inspire everything we do.
Every dollar we raise goes toward classrooms, school supplies, and learning programs for children on Siquijor Island who deserve every opportunity we take for granted.
We chose walking because it's accessible, powerful, and shared. When you put one foot in front of the other with a clear purpose, extraordinary things happen.
WHY THE PHILIPPINES
Siquijor is one of the Philippines' most beautiful and underserved islands. Its children are bright, curious, and full of potential — but access to quality education, safe classrooms, and basic school supplies remains a genuine challenge.
That's where the funds from every Big S'Cool Walk go. Not into administration. Not into overhead. Into schools, supplies, and the kids who need them.
When you walk with us, you're not just ticking off a distance goal. You're building something real for a community that will remember your contribution for a generation.
OUR VALUES
These aren't words on a wall. They're the principles that guide every decision we make, every event we run, and every dollar we spend.
We are honest about where money goes and what it achieves. Always.
We build connections between Australians, Filipinos, and a global community of good people.
We measure success by how many children have better access to education, not by how many followers we have.
We believe giving back should be an experience — something that changes you as much as it changes others.
