Year 9 Active Adventure

Our Year 9 Active Adventure students recently embarked on an unforgettable overnight camp to the beautiful coastal town of Torquay, where they put their classroom learning into practice through a range of exciting outdoor experiences!

As part of the Year 9 Active Adventure curriculum, students applied their knowledge and skills in outdoor leadership, teamwork, risk management, environmental awareness, resilience and problem-solving.

Throughout the camp, students challenged themselves through surfing, mountain bike riding, tent building, a night walk and beach games. These activities provided valuable opportunities to develop confidence, independence and practical outdoor skills.

From navigating mountain bike trails and learning to surf to working collaboratively to establish their campsite, students demonstrated safe participation, effective communication and decision-making in unfamiliar environments.

The night walk encouraged students to connect with the natural environment, while the beach activities promoted teamwork, inclusion and positive relationships. The camp also reinforced the importance of environmental responsibility and respecting our coastal surroundings.

Aligned with the Victorian Curriculum: Health and Physical Education, the experience allowed students to transfer their theoretical knowledge into real-world situations while further developing their personal and social capabilities.

It was fantastic to see our students stepping outside their comfort zones, supporting one another and embracing every challenge with enthusiasm.

The Torquay Active Adventure Camp was an incredible success, bringing curriculum learning to life through adventure, personal growth and unforgettable memories!
