L3 Outdoor Education
L3ODED Subject DescriptionTeacher in Charge: Mr S. Blake.
Required Prior LearningEntry is dependent upon approval from Year 12 Outdoor Education teacher and the approval of the HOD of Physical Education. Students who have gained 12 credits in Level 2 Outdoor Education will be given preference to entry. Other students from Sport Science or Health will be evaluated for entry. Students from outside this learning area can gain entry subject to availability plus higher levels of attainment.
Students that select 13ODED cannot select another course involving standards from PE/Sport. This would prevent a student selecting (13SPSC and 13OEAS) or (13SPSC and 13SPED) or (13ODED and 13SPED).
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.
