Well done to the students in Middle School Outdoor Ed for their great work during our recent mountain bike sessions!

Our small Gold group of students attended this activity and completed some excellent work full of respect, responsibility and excellence.

What a class of stars! Everyone applied themselves throughout the camp, whether it was helping with equipment, supporting others over difficult parts of the hikes, supporting friends when cooking or working around camp.

It was a fitting end to a busy year for all of our Award students. Students from Year 7 through to Year 10 worked alongside each other; it was great to see.

Congratulations on the group's achievements over the last few days. It is always a tough job to carry all of your gear on your back and camp for three nights, but to carry it non-stop up and down hilly terrains and be self-sufficient with cooking, cleaning and navigating is quite an achievement.

Well, we returned from our final Outdoor Ed experience this semester. Overall the students have made a considerable journey through their high ropes, kayaking, biking and now hike camping experiences this semester.

Congratulations to Ms Clare Rayner, Duke of Edinburgh instructor for her official recognition as an award leader in the State of Victoria.

It was game time! The Outdoor Ed students had the opportunity on Wednesday 6th October to adapt and use their paddling skills and put them into a new up-and-coming fun activity.

White Water Rafting is quite a demanding activity, physically as well as mentally; students must always be switched on to read the river and recognise the direction of the current and positioning of any rocks.

The students embraced their non-stop 25-hour camp experience, they worked hard throughout the experience; listening and following instructions and creating an extremely supportive, enthusiastic atmosphere.

Wow!! What a jam packed and exhilarating three days Year 8 Camp was! From the start till the end everyone put their best foot forward, supporting each other and always stepping outside of their own comfort zones.

Our 12 Award students in Level 3 spent the day working around Warrandyte State Park.
