Safety Measures at Unleashed Grad Trips
For many parents, the idea of sending their child on an international trip without them can be overwhelming. Whether it’s your child’s first time travelling overseas, their first trip without direct parental supervision, or simply an unfamiliar experience, the concerns are completely understandable. You might be wondering how they’ll navigate a new environment, make responsible choices, or stay safe throughout their journey. At Unleashed, we recognise these worries and have taken every measure possible to create a secure, structured, and supportive experience that allows students to celebrate finishing high school while ensuring their well-being.
24/7 Security
Safety is our top priority, which is why we have a dedicated security team on-site 24/7. Our team is trained to handle any situation, ensuring that all the graddies feel secure at all times. Whether it’s monitoring party zones, assisting with entry points, or providing guidance, our security staff is always present and ready to help. Our security works closely with resort staff to ensure a seamless and secure experience for all travellers. Our security team is available at key checkpoints and venues throughout the trip. They also work to prevent unauthorised visitors from accessing private event areas, ensuring that only registered guests can participate in activities. We take pride in maintaining a controlled environment where everyone can enjoy themselves without concerns about safety.
No Toolies Allowed
Unleashed Grad Trips are exclusive to 17 and 18-year-old recent high school graduates, meaning there are no 'toolies' - older individuals who are not part of the graduating class. We strictly enforce this policy to maintain a safe, comfortable, and age-appropriate environment for all travellers. Our security team and Unleashed Crew monitor entry points and event areas to ensure that only registered guests are allowed access. This measure prevents unwanted influences and ensures that students can fully enjoy their celebrations with peers in a controlled and secure setting.
24/7 Medical Crew & On-Site Registered Nurses
Health and wellness are just as important as having fun. That’s why we have a fully equipped 24/7 Medical Crew, including a Registered Nurse available on-site. Whether it’s a minor scrape or a more serious medical concern, our team is always available to provide care and support. Having medical professionals readily accessible ensures that any health issues are addressed quickly and efficiently. In addition to our on-site medical team, we have direct access to local hospitals and emergency medical services. If further medical assistance is required, we have protocols in place to transport guests safely and swiftly to the nearest medical facility. Our Medical Crew also provides daily health check-ins, ensuring that any potential issues are identified early.
Unleashed Crew Support
Our Unleashed Crew members are an essential part of your schoolies experience. They are there to guide, assist, and support travellers throughout the trip. From organising activities to providing advice and ensuring everyone follows safety protocols, our Crew helps create a structured and enjoyable environment. They also serve as a point of contact for students who may have concerns or need help during their stay. The Unleashed Crew are also required to have a police background check and be trained in first aid and CPR responses, acting as an additional layer of support for travellers. They are available at the airport, all key events and activities. They ensure that students feel comfortable and supported at all times. Our team members build strong relationships with students, creating an atmosphere of trust and encouragement throughout the trip.
Red Frogs Support Team
Unleashed Grad Trips proudly partners with Red Frogs, an internationally recognised support network dedicated to looking after young travellers. Red Frogs volunteers provide a positive and caring presence, offering assistance in a variety of ways, from handing out water and snacks to providing a listening ear and guidance when needed. Their team is trained in harm minimisation and is always available to help students make safe decisions during their trip. With Red Frogs on-site, students have an additional layer of support, ensuring they feel secure, looked after, and able to enjoy their experience responsibly.
Local Police Presence
We maintain a strong partnership with the Fijian Police Force to ensure optimal safety throughout the trip. If needed, police can be contacted and will respond promptly to any situation requiring their assistance. Our collaboration with local authorities allows us to implement effective safety measures while ensuring students have the freedom to enjoy their trip in a secure environment.
No Swimming After Dark
To ensure everyone's safety, we strictly prohibit swimming after dark. Limited visibility and changing water conditions make night time swimming dangerous, so we enforce this rule to prevent any safety risks. Our security team and Unleashed Crew will be monitoring to ensure compliance and keep everyone safe. While daytime swimming is a great way to enjoy the beautiful beach destinations, we encourage all travellers to follow water safety guidelines. These include swimming in designated areas, staying hydrated, and being aware of ocean conditions. Our Crew is always available to provide safety tips and reminders to ensure a safe and enjoyable beach experience.
Safe and Age-Appropriate Activities
Unleashed Grad Trips cater specifically to recent high school graduates aged 17 and 18. We create a safe, structured, and age-appropriate environment so that students can enjoy their trip responsibly. With curated events, controlled venues, and our dedicated security and support teams, we ensure that the experience is both fun and secure.
We plan activities that cater to the interests of students while maintaining a safe and positive atmosphere. From beach parties and excursions to cultural experiences and sports, we provide a well-balanced itinerary that ensures excitement without compromising safety. Our crew members and security team supervise each event, ensuring that travellers follow guidelines and have a great time.
Alcohol Policy for 17-Year-Olds
We understand that parents may be concerned about alcohol consumption on the trip. To ensure your child's safety, we do not permit 17-year-old travellers to consume alcohol. We will give them a separate wristband to distinguish them from 18-year-olds, enabling our security team, Unleashed Crew, and resort staff to enforce this policy effectively. This measure ensures that staff do not serve alcohol to underage travellers, allowing them to fully enjoy the trip in a safe and controlled environment.
This policy further ensures that we supervise and protect children from situations involving alcohol. Our Crew and security team strictly monitor compliance, reinforcing our commitment to maintaining a responsible and enjoyable experience for all travellers.
Play Safe Initiative
At Unleashed Grad Trips, we strongly encourage responsible decision-making through our partnership with Play Safe. We believe that celebrating should never come at the cost of safety. Therefor, we equip students with the knowledge and resources to make smart choices. Our team provides safety briefings upon arrival, covering topics such as responsible socialising, hydration, and looking out for fellow travellers. We also have clear guidelines around personal responsibility, emphasising respect for oneself and others. By fostering a culture of accountability and awareness, we ensure that students can enjoy their trip in a safe and supportive environment.
Emergency Response and Communication
In the unlikely event of an emergency, we have a structured response plan in place. Our Unleashed Crew, security, and medical team work together to manage situations quickly and effectively. We maintain open communication with parents, keeping them informed in case of any issues. We also provide travellers with emergency contact information and safety briefings upon arrival. Our team is available 24/7 to address any concerns, ensuring that students always have access to assistance whenever needed. We encourage all travellers to reach out to our crew at any time if they have questions or need support.
Parental Peace of Mind
We understand that sending your child to schoolies in Fiji can be nerve-wracking for parents. That’s why we go the extra mile to provide transparency and reassurance. Parents receive detailed trip itineraries in their student's final documents, emergency contact details, and regular updates to keep them informed. We also offer a direct parent support line. Families can reach out to this hotline with any questions before, during, or after the trip. We encourage parents to talk with their children about responsible travel behaviour and to reinforce the importance of following safety guidelines. Our team is always available to provide additional information and support. We are here to ensure a smooth and worry-free experience for both students and their families.
