Course Description

Teacher in Charge: L. Martin.

This course is designed for students who have a passion for outdoor activities.  There are no entry requirements other than a willingness to take part in physically demanding outdoor activities which are a compulsory part of this course.  

Using a range of local resources this course would allow students to gain 17 credits in a range of outdoor settings.  Students would learn a range of life skills such as teamwork, leadership, self-management, self-responsibility etc.

The course will involve some co-construction with students and therefore activities and standards cannot be predetermined.

Possible activities include tramping, camping, navigation, ABL, rafting, mountain biking, sailing, rock climbing and skiing/snowboarding.


This course does lead to a University Entrance approved subject.


Field trips: to be confirmed.
