Year 11 Outdoor Education
Outdoor Education provides the opportunity for experiential learning through the study of three focus areas: conservation and sustainability; human connections with nature; and personal and social growth and development. Students develop skills, knowledge, and understanding of safe and sustainable outdoor experiences in the key areas of preparation and planning, managing risk, leadership and decision-making, and self-reliance skills.
Students reflect on their study of natural areas and their potential to promote personal development, group development, health and well-being, environmental learning, sustainable living, and social justice. Students evaluate and reflect on their own learning progression, including their practical outdoor skills development and their collaborative and leadership skills, as well as their relationship with and connection to nature.
As part of this experience the students participated in a session at Holden Hill Indoor rock-climbing gym during which they learnt the safe procedures for climbing and belaying as well as experiencing various climbs for themselves.
