Year 10 Outdoor Education

Overview
Outdoor Education at John XXIII College is an elective unit offered to Year 10 students.

The principal aim of the Outdoor Education course at John XXIII College is to provide students with the knowledge, skills and motivation to pursue outdoor activities in a safe and responsible manner. The program aims to increase the numbers of responsible users of the natural environment through awareness of minimum impact skills.

Group work, team building and problem solving activities allow individuals and the group to develop interpersonal relations, leadership and opportunities to promote positive self concept.

The benefits of an active lifestyle are emphasised through the development of knowledge and skills that enable students to use the natural environment for activities that provide enjoyment, socialisation and recreation throughout their lives.

Personal safety in the natural environment is emphasised to promote a cautious and educated approach to potential risks associated with outdoor pursuits.

The highlight and culmination of the course is a two night expedition to the Margaret River region.
