Outdoor Education at Concord
At Concord, we are proud to offer engaging Physical Education and Outdoor Education programs across both campuses. At Watsonia, students participate in PE with Etaoin, while at Bundoora, PE is led by Riley and Outdoor Education by Rachael.
What is Outdoor Education?
Outdoor Education provides students with opportunities to learn by doing, developing knowledge and skills through hands-on experiences, reflection, and applying their learning in natural environments.
Through these experiences, students:
- Build confidence, independence, and resilience
- Strengthen teamwork, leadership, and communication skills
- Improve wellbeing through movement and time outdoors
Develop curiosity, problem-solving, and critical thinking skills
This term, students in our Secondary Outdoor Education program have begun rock climbing, challenging themselves to try something new while building confidence, teamwork, and perseverance.
At the end of last term, some students proudly represented Concord at the State Swimming Championships held at the Melbourne Sports and Aquatic Centre.
Congratulations to all students who participated, and to those who achieved medals.
We are proud of your efforts and the way you represented Concord.
Take care,
Flora Nixon
