12ODE -Outdoor Education - NCEA Level 2

Subject Description

Teacher in Charge: Mr A. Venter.

Outdoor Education at Level 2 focuses the development of leadership, communication and organisational skills through experiences in a range of outdoor activities or pursuits. At the same time, students get to explore some amazing parts of Aotearoa.

While engaged in these outdoor activities or pursuits, students will learn the key skills in leadership, effective team functioning, event organisation and safety management systems in order to be successful in these areas. 

All units are internally assessed and covered throughout the year with links to various outdoor activities and experiences. Students are practically assessed on one outdoor experience that is linked to an achievement standard.

Students learn essential life skills including social and cooperative skills, problem solving, initiative and self-management that are intertwined in outdoor education.

The course has a compulsory fee of $550. The course has limited spaces and therefore a selection process will occur.
