Student Testimonials / Feedback 

Reasons WHY you enjoyed this course: 

• Trying new things, getting out and about, exploring my background

• I liked going out on Tuesdays and I liked spending time with everyone in the class while we were on camps and doing activities

• Units were good, content that we covered in class was relevant to what we were learning and we were pushed out of our comfort zones.

• Supportive environment

Something NEW you learnt or experienced was:

• I learnt a lot about my personal limits and that i could achieve a lot if i became passionate about it

• How to be a leader and learn more about nature and outdoors

• Learning everything about sea kayaking, health and safety was the best thing we learnt, how to stay safe etc.

• To cooperate with others

• Learning to understand everyone's different abilities

If I was to do this course again what would you do differently?

• Give more enthusiasm and get more involved in the activities.

• Maybe do the kayaking in the summer instead of winter

• Try everything!

• i would try harder at the beginning of the year

• not complain if I don't like something and try to make it fun and enjoyable

3 things I would recommend to next year's students are:

• Give the mountain bike trip a go even if your not confident

• Get out of your comfort zone

• Enjoy all experiences

• Always be prepared have a good attitude try everything

• give everything a go because accomplishing things you genuinely never thought you would do before is a good feeling, don't worry about what others say if you're scared to try something out and others are being disrespectful about it don't listen and have fun idk

• Experience everything while trying your best

• make friends with the whole class as soon as possible because it's going to happen at some point anyway. try hard from the beginning of the year.

• Come prepared for anything and any weather. Give everything a go no matter what.
