| Brief description of the Unit |
Students explore the value of effective communities in outdoor education through bush environments. Students develop a connection to the outdoors and necessary skills for safe and effective participation in outdoor environmental education and critically reflect on their experiences through analysing the related literature. Students participate in a 3 day practical experience incorporating theory developed in class, including: communities in outdoor environmental education, sustainability in bush environments, safety, travel and outdoor living skills. To increase competence, confidence and understanding of communities and bush environments, students plan and undertake a second 3 day practical experience in small peer groups, and evaluate that experience to further develop their appreciation of these concepts in outdoor environmental education. |
