I will learn:

• About technical knowledge and safety skills required to participate in adventure recreation and/or expedition experiences
• Personal and social skills and how to operate as an effective group member
• To set and reflect on personal goals related to various outdoor activities
• The importance of sustainable practice to help protect our natural environments for future generations
• About planning, logistics, nutrition, First Aid, navigation, weather interpretation and risk management considerations related to planning for outdoor recreation activities.

In typical lessons I might:

• Undertake a variety of shorter in the field and classroom-based experiences
• Prepare for specific adventure activities and/or expeditions, problem solving and team building exercises
• Take part in activities which may include kayaking, rock climbing, bush walking, abseiling, caving, snorkelling, surfing, mountain biking and/or selfcontained expeditions
• Prepare a digital or verbal presentation reflecting on my experiences and their impact
