What's Been Happening in Outdoor Education

It’s been an exciting and immersive year for our students, filled with incredible outdoor experiences. We started by swimming with seals and dolphins at Sorrento, gaining first-hand insights into marine environments. Students also had the opportunity to work with Life Saving Victoria at Hampton Beach, completing valuable learning sessions focused on water safety and coastal ecosystems.

Our Year 12s ventured to the Grampians, where they explored the economic and recreational impacts on outdoor environments, while also deepening their understanding of Indigenous connections to Country. Meanwhile, our Year 9s travelled to Wilsons Promontory, where they embraced a variety of experiences, including surfing, stand-up paddleboarding, and hiking around the area.

These opportunities have allowed students to engage with different landscapes, develop new skills, and deepen their appreciation for the natural world. We look forward to more adventures ahead!
