OutdoorEvery Junior School student participates in the Outdoor Education programme which provides a range of activities and experiences from bushwalking to aquatics.

The Junior School Outdoor Education programme is an integral part of the total school curriculum. It aims to focus on four major areas:

  • LEARNING about the outdoors, to be in the outdoors, through the outdoors.
  • ENJOYMENT of the learning process, of the socialisation process with their homegroup peers.
  • ADVENTURE through a wide range of activities related to both the needs and past experiences of the children.
  • SAFETY acknowledging the need for appropriate adult/student ratios, a safety officer and suitable first aid equipment.

OutdoorCamps provide a unique opportunity for students to develop relationships with each other and learn more about themselves. Our programme offers a progression of experiences as students move through the Junior School.

Receptions venture out of the school grounds on bushwalks, beachwalks and farm visits.

The Year 1 students get accustomed to a night away from the comforts of home at a sleepover.

Warrawong Sanctuary provides an exciting tenting experience for the Year 2s with a night walk to see the animals.

Year 3 and Year 4 head for the south coast for their camp. Narnu Farm is invaded by the Year 3's and the Year 4 class spends their time at Victor Harbor.

Year 5 students go bush on their two night camping experience. They study the environment and learn to be Earth Keepers at Douglas Scrub.

Year 6 experience is an aquatics one. The camp activities take place at Port Noarlunga Aquatics Centre. Later in the year they also experience a day of sailing at West Lakes Aquatics Centre.
