Our year 9 Outdoor Education students recently enjoyed perfect bushwalking weather at Belair National Park!

After weeks of honing their map-reading and navigation skills in class, it was wonderful to see them confidently apply their learning in the great outdoors. Students embraced leadership roles, guided their peers, and faced challenges along the trail together.

Highlights included:
✨ Exploring Echo Tunnel
🦘 Spotting kangaroos and a koala
🚶‍♂️ Working as a team through tricky sections
🌄 Visiting the waterfall lookout (without the water!)

Students also set a great example with ethical and responsible bushwalking practices. What a memorable day out of the classroom!

The Cultural Garden extension leading to the Student Services Office, is quickly taking shape and becoming a fantastic outdoor classroom for our Learning 4 Life (L4L) boys’ program. While developing their horticultural and ecosystem management skills, like soil preparation, propagation and plant care, the students are also gaining essential practical experience.

What makes this program unique is its focus on both hands-on trade skills and reflective learning. After each garden session, students write about their experiences, tracking their progress and making links between what they’re learning and future pathways.

We’re excited to see the space thrive as our students blend environmental care, teamwork,and literacy creating a sustainable, living environment for our school community!
