Year 10 Outdoor Education

Year 10 Outdoor Education class took on the challenge of the tall wall at Bayside Rock Climbing. While pushing themselves to their limits and working closely in team building activities, the class focused on safety process in the environment, equipment and people participation. I was extremely impressed with how the students conducted themselves; encouraging others and challenging themselves on the day.

The Year 10 Outdoor Education class also took part in cleaning up the school and within 7 minutes, the class was able to fill 4 big garbage bags.   They then sorted and counted the rubbish. We found over 505 pieces of rubbish, mostly paper from books, plastic wrappers, gladwrap and food scraps. It is sad to see so much rubbish left in our yard especially when we understand the impact it is having on our wildlife. Many pieces were found near school bins. WE NEED TO DO OUR BIT.  As such, the classes first assignment is a ‘pitch’ to the principal on innovative ways we can reduce our impact on the environment and have a more sustainable community.
