Year 6 Outdoor Education Experience at Glendalough
This week, our Year 6 students embarked on an unforgettable Outdoor Education adventure at Glendalough Outdoor Education Centre, located at Peregian Beach and facilitated by Adventure Alternatives. This experience was designed to challenge, inspire, and develop resilience in our students as they engaged in a range of exciting and rewarding activities.
The program offered a mix of thrilling water and land-based activities, including body boarding and various games in the surf, as well as an exhilarating ride on the Flying Fox Zipline.
Students also tested their teamwork and problem-solving skills through kayak and raft building on the serene waters of Lake Weyba. The Glider Possum challenge encouraged students to take on new experiences, while survival skills and team-building games helped them work together and build confidence.
A highlight of the trip was the overnight experience. Students spent one night in cabins and another camping out in tents, where they took on the responsibility of preparing their own meals – an opportunity that encouraged independence and practical life skills.
This enriching experience would not have been possible without the dedication and support of our incredible staff. A heartfelt thank you goes to Mrs Joelene Anderson, Mrs Juanita Purvis, Mr Dan Hunter, Mr Ben Maxfield, Mrs Skye Brand, Mr Daniel Clarke, Miss Monique Charlton, and Mr Andrew Powell for facilitating and guiding our students through this memorable Outdoor Education journey.
