What we will learn?
This course involves learning in, through and about the great outdoors. Our local area and wider New Zealand is surrounded by some amazing places to develop lifelong outdoor skills. Our aim is for students to develop their confidence so they can participate in a variety of outdoor activities both inside and outside of the classroom. It offers a range of Unit Standard assessments and Achievement Standard assessments, all internally assessed throughout the school year.
Students will be active participants in completing a number of different outdoor based modules throughout the year. This involves professional instructors, classroom based theory and practical based learning within our local area and further afield.
Adventure Based Management (ABM) will challenge students physically and mentally, requiring them to apply a high level of effort and actively participate in all modules. Students will be encouraged to develop their active followership and leadership skills amongst their peers and within different outdoor learning contexts. The 2024 year course will focus on kayaking, climbing and snow craft.
Practicals will take place on one day per week with students arriving back to school sometimes as late as 5:00 pm. Students need to be aware they could possibly miss other classes and must take responsibility to catch up on work missed. Overnight trips lasting up to 5 nights may also be a part of the programme. Therefore students are committed to over and above the 4 periods allocated to the course.
As our school has opted into the School Donations Scheme. This means there are rules for which we can request donations. One of those areas we will ask for a contribution to the costs is for school camps/overnight trips. Adventure Based Management requires many experiences outside the classroom and while we will not be asking for any contributions to trips held during the day we do seek support for contributing to the costs of overnight trips and camps. We have done our best to provide students with an exciting outdoor education programme as well as keeping costs to a minimum.
Students are welcome to also participate in NCEA Level 2 Physical Education as the course content is either different or can contribute to the same achievement standard content.
