YEAR 9 OUTDOOR EDUCATION ASSESSMENT 1 - Survivor Challenge

During terms 1 and 3 in Outdoor Education, we’ll participate in Adventure Based Learning (ABL) and survivor activities to develop a range of interpersonal skills and responsible behaviours, ready for our Survivor Challenge and overnight camp.  

You’ll need to use interpersonal skills, which involves communicating and working with others effectively, using clear communication, teamwork, leadership, and problem solving.  Responsible behaviours involves taking ownership of your actions and decisions, such as being trustworthy and accountable for your actions.

In outdoor education, we also protect and take care of nature, including ourselves, plants and animals.  You’ll take part in planting and maintaining trees, and keeping our parks and beaches clean and beautiful.  

You are required to:

1. Actively participate in the Survivor Challenge activities and the lessons on camping skills and preparation.  

2. Verbally describe what interpersonal skills and responsible behaviours you’ve demonstrated, and how this contributed to your team’s success.

3. Actively participate in conservation activities.  This includes explaining, with examples, what conservation is, such as: protecting animals and plants; using resources wisely; reducing/reusing/recycling ‘waste’; global impact; saving habitats; stopping pollution; involving everyone to help; spreading awareness.
