Our Outdoor Education program is off to an exciting start! Over the past few weeks, we have been busy at school learning essential skills such as first aid, snake bite treatment, basic rope techniques, and what to pack for different types of outdoor adventures. We have also been honing our bike skills in preparation for our upcoming mountain biking excursion to Kate Reed Park in Prospect. To ensure we are fit and ready for the challenges ahead, we have been participating in a fitness program designed to prepare us for the rest of the term’s adventures.

Our first major excursion took us to Bare Rock in Fingal, where we tackled the challenging climb to the summit. The steep and rocky terrain tested our endurance and determination, but the breathtaking views from the top made every step worth it!

This hike was not just about reaching the summit - it was about challenging ourselves, building courage, strengthening our connection to nature, supporting one another, and growing as individuals. Outdoor Education is all about stepping outside of our comfort zones, and this walk definitely helped us do just that.

We cannot wait for our next adventure - bring on the mountain biking!
