Outdoor Recreation

These activities involve higher levels of physical activity, practicing recreational activities that can be continued back in the school community. The learning intentions for each activity can be modified to suit the year levels indicated.

Hikes include the school boundary, half day circuits of Mt George Conservation Park, an historic loop into the township of Bridgewater, and day hikes along sections of the Heysen Trail. Students learn about preparing for a safe hike.
