All About Outdoor School

With our core purpose being to “educate for sustainable living”, Outdoor School campuses offer primary and secondary school students a wide range of outdoor and environmental education programs and cooperates closely with schools and other users to structure programs which best suit their needs.

Outdoor School is a unique P–12 multi-campus residential school within the Victorian Department of Education (DE), with campuses at 15 Mile Creek and Bogong. As one of five schools in the Outdoor Residential Schools Network (ORSN), we provide high-quality outdoor education experiences that support student learning, wellbeing, and personal growth.

The ORSN also includes Rubicon Outdoor Centre (Nayook and Thornton campuses), Somers School Camp (Somers and Woorabinda campuses), Blackwood Specialist School, and the School for Student Leadership (Alpine, Snowy River, Gnurad-Gundidj, and Don Valley campuses). Together, these schools offer diverse residential learning opportunities in some of Victoria’s most unique natural environments.

15 Mile Creek Campus is set in a picturesque natural bush setting in North East Victoria. Students are immersed in a rich and unique learning environment that allows them to explore, discover, be challenged and enjoy their learning. 15 Mile Creek offers a broad range of unique educational programs for students of all ages.

The Bogong campus is located in the Alps of North East Victoria within Bogong Village, approximately half way between Mount Beauty and Falls Creek. The Bogong High Plains is 16km or 30 minutes drive away, which provides us with a very powerful learning environment. We use the area for many activities which are integrated into our curriculum.
