Limitless HK is an inspirational project for Year 9 students in ESF Schools. It takes our unique approach to Education Outside The Classroom (EOTC) into the dramatic and exciting environment of rural Queensland, Australia.
For six life-changing weeks during Term 3, students live, work and learn together with experienced facilitators from Higher Ground who are highly trained in interpersonal and group management skills as well as the hard skills associated with outdoor adventure.
Students learn to take the analytical skills they have learned so far in their school classroom – and apply them to solving real-life problems in a unique and unfamiliar environment.
Limitless changes lives. It will help your child grow in confidence, learn how to work individually and as part of a team – and it will challenge them in ways that will set them up for the remainder of their time in school and beyond.
Limitless took place for the third time in May and June 2025. Our students embarked on an adventure of growth that we hope many more ESF students will follow.
It was an incredible time for the young men and women. You can look back on their adventures by reading the blog that was created during their time in Australia.
Please click HERE to access the application form. The enrolment deadline is 5pm 29 September 2025.

Any current Year 9 child at an ESF School can apply to join Limitless. However, there are only a set number of spaces available, so each school will be conducting its own selection process.
As part of the selection criteria, parents of the students who are interested in Limitless will be asked to write a short application letter setting out why they think their daughter or son should be chosen to participate in this programme.
For any additional questions regarding Limitless, please contact limitless@esfcentre.edu.hk.

We are aware that an expedition and experience such as this does require a significant investment from families.
While we are still evaluating the total cost of Limitless, we anticipate that it will be somewhere in the region of $50,000 – $65,000HKD. This would be an all-inclusive cost, covering the programme, flights and insurance.
Limitless is not a break from school; if it were it would take place during the holidays. This is very much part of the curriculum. It may not look like one, but the Higher Ground campus at Kenilworth Homestead is definitely a classroom.

“I’m much more of a team player now. I think that I have grown as a person and matured emotionally, mentally and physically over time at Limitless.”
– Charlie, 2024 ESF Limitless
“I think the thing that builds on me the most is resilience. Because every time I go up the mountain, I will be thinking, Why am I here? And every time I tell myself, if I give up, there’ll be no meaning to it, and I will definitely regret it. So every time I’ll push through, and every time I succeed.”
– Alisha, 2024 ESF Limitless
