KIA ORA OUTDOOR ENTHUSIASTS!!!
Welcome to Outdoor Ed, I cannot wait to go on this learning journey with you and I look forward to seeing your love, appreciation and knowledge of the world around you grow!
Your only job is to bring a positive attitude and a willingness to learn, try new things, be challenged and from time to time find yourself outside of your comfort zone - all with the goal of growing greatness in each and everyone of you!
Nga mihi,

See below what the curriculum will encompass over the year:
Outdoor education provides students with opportunities to develop personal and social skills, to become active, safe, and skilled in the outdoors, and to protect and care for the environment.
Outdoor education includes adventure activities and outdoor pursuits. Adventure activities foster students' personal and social development through experiences involving co-operation, trust, problem solving, decision making, goal setting, communication, leadership, responsibility, and reflection. Through outdoor pursuits, students develop particular skills and attitudes in a range of outdoor settings.
Students require a range of structured, sequenced, and developmentally appropriate learning opportunities in outdoor education. These include:
- adventure activities and outdoor pursuits that focus on physical skill development, fun, and enjoyment and development of personal and interpersonal skills
- learning about the traditions, values, and heritages of their own and other cultural groups, including those of the tangata whenua
- opportunities to learn about the environmental impact of outdoor recreation activities and to plan strategies for caring for the environment
- planning strategies to evaluate and manage personal and group safety, challenge, and risk
