Year 10 Outdoor Education Mountain Biking
On Friday 3 May, our year 10 outdoor education class travelled to O’Halloran Hill, and Craigburn Farm to experience mountain biking and the environment.
Leading up to the excursion we have been learning about mountain biking skills, environmental conditions and risk management and applying this knowledge to adventure activities.
We were fortunate to have a beautiful sunny day to walk the O’Halloran Hill shared trails at Glenthorne National Park. Everyone applied themselves well to developing their skills in the afternoon mountain biking session at Craigburn Farm and had a great time in the environment.
