Challenge and Grow – Years 5 and 6
Students will travel beyond their own perceived limitations and gain an understanding that physical and social risks are made safe through skill development and mutual help.
As individuals and in teams, students will work through tasks that are designed to specifically challenge them and develop lasting skill sets that can be transferred into everyday life. Students will experience success and will become comfortable with the notion that not everything goes to plan. The focus is on experiential learning and success is measured in the doing whilst failures will be celebrated and analysed. Reports are written in relation to two of the curriculum points listed below.
