Outdoor Ed Update

Year 10

As part of the year 10 Outdoor and Environmental Education, students have attended day trips to Lake Narracan and Blue Rock Dam. They have been preparing for their overnight camp to Lake Tyers by learning the skills to successfully paddle a canoe, information about local environments, how to stay safe while paddling and how to set up their tents. In the coming weeks, students will develop their camp cooking skills by practising on a Trangia stove and will plan their meals for camp.

Here are some photos from the program so far
