Outdoor Education engages students in practical and active learning experiences in natural environments and settings typically beyond the school boundary. In these environments, students develop knowledge, understanding and skills to move safely and competently while valuing a positive relationship with and promoting the sustainable use of these environments. 

What will I learn?

In Outdoor Education students are given the opportunity to develop skills in adventure activities, which can continue as lifetime leisure pursuits. 

What will I do?

Activities include: Snorkeling, Surfing, Surf Life Saving, Rock Wall Climbing, Golf, Archery, Cycling, Canoeing and Orienteering.

What will this lead to?

Unit 1 & 2 Outdoor Education

Why choose this subject?

Students selecting this subject require a lot of personal motivation, co-operative skills and must be prepared to participate in activities in all weather conditions. At the end of the semester each student should be pleased with their ability to have coped in a variety of different activities, requiring specific skills. The Year 10 program is a great foundation for going on to VCE Outdoor & Environmental Studies Units 1, 2, 3, 4.

Duration

5 periods per week for one semester
