This course will be a hybrid course that starts the year off completing a rock climbing course for NCEA Level Three credits as an outdoor education practical but also has the option of a risk management report for extra NCEA Level Three credits. 

In Term Two students will work their way through planning, organise and lead outdoor activites that they would like to run as offiste pracitcal sessions for the class. This will be mostly Unit Standards based work. Students will also have the option of completing NCEA Level Three work on how to devise strategies to stay physically active in the future. 

In Term Three, students will have the option to attend the Year 12 Outdoor Education ski trip but will be able to apply their planning, orgainsing and leadership to the ski trip for the chance to be assessed against Level Three Unit Standard work.

This course also works closely with Ms Duncan to provide other unit standard opportunities for students to gain credits such as coaching courses and other opportunities that present themselves throughout the year.
