P-5 Update
Last week I had the pleasure of joining Year 4 students and their teachers on their outdoor education camp at Alexandra Park at Alexandra Headland. The Outdoor Education Program at the College is a well-planned, sequential program extending from Year 3 to Year 9. It provides to all students the opportunity to develop a variety of interpersonal, leadership and problem-solving skills in a challenging, exciting and carefully controlled outdoor setting. Research carried out over many years suggests that such experiences can be the most significant, memorable and defining events experienced by children during their schooling. Thanks to Mr Tait - Director of Outdoor Education, for coordinating and planning such an excellent program.
Under clear blue skies, the Year 4 students and their teachers left the College on Thursday morning and returned to the College excited, if not a little tired on Friday afternoon. Whilst at Alexandra Park they completed a variety of activities including raft building, initiative games and a variety of activities aimed at developing cooperation, teamwork and confidence. The students participated enthusiastically in all activities. Thanks to the Year 4 class teachers, Mrs Empson, Mr Compton and Mr Davis and Outdoor Education Aide, Tegan, for the way that they cared for and supervised the children whilst on camp. On Friday, even after a late night their leadership, professionalism, humour and enthusiasm made the camp a very successful, worthwhile and enjoyable experience for all the students.
