This exciting and energetic course focuses on introducing students to Risk Management, Social Responsibility/Leadership skills, and Trip Planning through a range of recreational activities. These concepts are applied through the contexts such as bouldering, Mountain Biking, and Tramping. Students will have multiple trips throughout the year and also attend a week-long camp at Hillary Outdoors on Great Barrier Island. The course consists of both theory and practical lessons.

Students must be aware that some camps and trips will be during school time. Students will be selected based on their ability to cope with this and their participation in 11PHED. Course endorsement is achievable. Total cost for the year is approximately $1000. 

There is a limited number of students in this course, so handing in the application form is vital.

The standards offered in this course may be altered at the discretion of the Head of Department.
