‘PHIL’ OSOPHYGive kids the world through travel

We believe that supporting students today is an investment in our community’s future. Experiencing the world can offer life’s greatest education - that’s why we’ve had an underlying connection with education along with facilitating travel arrangements for school boards and major universities in Adelaide for more than 23 years. Let us turn your school travel needs into experiences your students will treasure for life. We’ll even thank you for it through our Travel Rewards Program!

benefits of the program

Chinese language students on exchange in Hong Kong, an interstate sports trip, a cultural tour of Europe, a group of students working on an aid project in Africa ... the needs of student travel are as vast and varied as any group of travellers, we should know.

As South Australia’s only Virtuoso Agency, our exclusive travel networks supported by excellent supplier relationships enable us to tailor travel solutions, no matter how obscure. We give you access to sites, venues, and activities that often aren’t available to the general public. Our flexibility means we can do as little or as much as you like towards your trip, whatever your school’s group travel needs.

We have been very impressed with the professional, efficient, effective, credible and relational way all of the (PHT) staff have interacted with us. We are very pleased that we made the decision to unify all of our programmes with one travel agent, and PHT has lived up to its reputation and more importantly, its commitment to us as a school.

Michael Potter, Principal - Tyndale Christian School

When the Qantas fleet was grounded PHT staff proactively handled the situation, allowing us to make the critical business decisions to reduce the impact on our 136 travellers at the time. This reinforced the value they bring to the University.
