Entry Recommendations:

Due to the risks involved in the course a high standard of personal responsibility is required. Students will also require suitable outdoor clothing to ensure their safety when participating in activities.

There is a limited number of places in this course due to health and safety requirements. Therefore a selection day will occur on the 1 December (attendance in mandatory), prior participation in OED courses and course selection priority will also be considered to finalise the class. 

Course Outline:

This course is likely to include Unit Standards in sea kayaking, rock climbing or survival skills/tramping and mountain expedition skills.

Students will attend trips and overnight camps that result in absences from other subjects. Attending these trips and overnight camps are a required part of assessment to gain credits during this course. Students are expected to catch up on all missed work.

Where Does It Lead:

The course can be valuable in occupations where self-confidence, commitment and good communication skills are needed and can lead into the adventure tourism Industry and to tertiary courses in outdoor pursuits.
