On Thursday, 24 August and Friday, 24 August, the students in the Year 12 Outdoor Education cohort implemented our 2.9 assessment standard by planning a class trip to the Pinnacles in the Coromandel.

This event took weeks of strategic thinking and organising to ensure that it could go ahead without any issues.

We had to book and plan around the weather, consider the potential risks involved, write safety management forms, organise emergency gear, book accommodation, hire vehicles, create safe travel plans there and back, map out walking tracks and make contingency plans for any potential changes to plans.

The trip went very well, and we were lucky to get beautiful weather!
