Outdoor Education
The School’s Outdoor Education program enjoys a high profile amongst South Australian secondary schools, with most senior students taking part in the Duke of Edinburgh Scheme. Local, interstate and occasional overseas expeditions are organised and include activities as varied as bushwalking, skiing, rock-climbing and kayaking. The Outdoor Education program begins in the Preparatory School, continuing into the Senior School. Year 9 students undergo an annual outdoor education program in the Flinders Ranges while Year 10 students attend a 12-day training course at the School’s 68- hectare outdoor education site and farm at Milang. Activities include sailing, canoeing, orienteering and camping.
An example of outdoor education expeditions available throughout the year include:
- introduction to sea kayaking at Victor Harbour (3 days)
- bushwalking at Deep Creek (3 days)
- bushwalking at the Flinders Ranges (3-4 days)
- cross-country skiing at Falls Creek (7 days)
