In addition, our Outdoor Education elective program also provides opportunities for students to undertake various adventure activities, including a minimum impact bushwalking and overnight camping experience, between Apollo Bay and Cape Otway, on the Great Ocean Walk.

Each of these experiences enable students to connect with various aspects of the outdoor environment, which has positive benefits for both physical health and mental wellbeing, while also providing opportunities to build social relationships with peers and staff. During their time away, students are typically faced with numerous challenges, each of which provide opportunities to further develop skills in teamwork, leadership, planning, organisation, problem solving and resilience.
