Subject Description
Teacher in Charge: Mr S. Blake.
This course focuses on Outdoor Pursuits that are commonly found in the Wilderness, Adventure and Tourism Industry.
Practical tasks may include climbing, surfing, swimming, orienteering, low ropes, tramping and minor games. Assessment Standards focus on safety management strategies, leadership styles and devised strategies for physical activity.
The course is 100% internally assessed. This means students must be able to complete assessed tasks in the workbooks within a set timeframe. One internal assessment task is a practical performance task. Four internal assessments will require a written essay.
Required Prior Learning
