Year 10 Outdoor Programme
In 2011, we are introducing a short Outdoor Education course as a one term introduction in Year 10. The course will be part of our option rotation for all students who wish to be involved. It is envisaged that this course will run each term so the activities may vary depending on the time of the year.
Year 10 topics could include: indoor rock climbing, tramping, aquatic confidence (basic kayaking) ABL activities, and track cycling.
