Year 10
Outdoor Education
Peter Vowles, Teacher
Aquatics Camp
On 16 and 17 March the year 10 Outdoor Education class visited the Murraylands Aquatic Centre. The weather could not have been better for aquatic activities on the river. It was warm and sunny with light winds. The conditions on the river were ideal for knee boarding and skiing. The gentle breeze was great to learn how to sail the catamarans. Understanding how to use the rudder to steer and adjust the sails to get us moving was new to all the students. In just a short time the catamarans were being sailed up and down the Murray River and partners were working really effectively together.
Students also enjoyed kayaking and paddling a stand up paddleboard (SUP). Windsurfing was a new skill for most students and everyone had fun learning this new skill.
Students were well organised and collaborated well to learn new skills on the water.
