Level 3 Outdoor Education

Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Mr J. Dickinson.

This course aims to give students the opportunity to develop their understanding, skill and proficiency in a number of outdoor pursuits.  Topics covered include: Risk management, Survivor, outdoor preparation and planning for safe outdoor experiences.  * Please note the field trip included in this course is advantageous for students' learning experiences, but alternative opportunities are provided (at no cost).  Note: 91501 is also completed in L3 Community Sports Leadership and Physical Education. A student will only be able to gain these 4 credits through one subject, where the highest grade will be counted.

Students are required to meet the EOTC guidelines. Credits can still be achieved through alternative onsite and personal experiences if they do not meet them. These requirements are put in place to keep all staff and students safe, this is due to the nature of the changing environments in which the learning takes place.  

Students must be confident in the water, e.g. can tread water for at least 20 minutes.
