Year 9 Outdoor Education

Each year three classes of Year 9 Outdoor Education Students spend months training and honing their Bushcraft skills, including knot tying, camp cooking and traditional fire and shelter making, in preparation for an overnight camp in a secret forest location. 

Classes are split into four tribes: Earth, Air, Fire and Water, and armed with only their trusty self-made sack backpacks and a basic map, they venture off on a scavenger hunt into the local area that will lead them to their secret campsite. Along the way, teams are challenged with riddles and obstacles that lead them to special tokens that provide them access to important equipment they will need to survive the night.
