CANOE EXPEDITION
YEAR 10 - OUTDOOR ADVENTURE PE
During week 7, the year 10 Outdoor Adventure students were very fortunate their overnight canoe expedition could go ahead as some covid restrictions were lifted. 30 students headed to Jim and Ruth Roberts' property (Canoe the Riverland) to utillise some of the skills developed during the course. The students were very keen and even though it was quite warm and uncomfortable, they remained positive and had a great learning experience.
Along with developing a variety of skills, it was great seeing the students having a fun time considering some of the challenges throughout 2020. Another positive is that the students' phones were collected at a designated time, encouraging student interactions, communication and games which everyone enjoyed.
Some quotes from the students include:
Maddy – It was a good experience. I particularly enjoyed the paddle through the creek.
Caleb – It was really fun, especially talking and hanging out with a different group of people.
Colby – The camp was fun! There was a good vibe.
Janis – I enjoyed being out in the environment and the views were nice.
Chloe – When Lara and I capsized it was refreshing and entertaining for everyone.
We hope everyone has a great and safe Christmas break and we look forward to conducting all of our expeditions in 2021.
