In Week 5 of Term 2, our Year 12 Outdoor Education (OUTE) traded classroom for the Hillary Outdoors. Students were actively involved in activities such as abseiling, coasteering, sea kayaking, and surf kayaking. The core focus of the week was their practical assessment on managing risk in the outdoors as well as social responsibility.
Students had to actively identify hazards, analyse environmental factors, and apply safety strategies in real-time. This week also included an overnight expedition where they braved the elements sleeping in hammocks under fly sheets. The cohort thoroughly enjoyed the experience and is looking forward to the next.
