Year 11 Outdoor Education

Through journey-based experiences, students will learn the practical skills needed to take part in outdoor activities like snorkeling, sea kayaking, mountain biking, camping, rock climbing and tramping.  They will develop leadership skills and the ability to relate to others, confidence in managing themselves as they participate and contribute in group settings, competence, perseverance and resilience, while connecting to the natural environment. They will learn to 'think outside the box' as they are challenged physically, mentally and emotionally throughout the course. 

Students will develop safe outdoor practices through the use of practical and active learning experiences.  They will learn the necessary steps for planning expeditions, managing risk and navigation.  Students will also develop problem solving skills that contribute to good leadership practices, while deepening their understanding and appreciation of the outdoors.
