NCEA Level 2 Outdoor Education

12OED was added to the curriculum in 2023 and we are hoping for another great class in 2024. The driver for this addition was based on student and community voice to continue OED into the later NCEA levels due to previous success and engagement. 

Outdoor Education grows students into leaders within the community, while still providing the academic pathway of internal achievement standards. Life skills and interpersonal skills are the focal points, balancing theory with practical and leadership opportunities. Previous Rosmini OED students have become sports captains, prefects, Young Vinnies leaders and peer support leaders. They can communicate, work as a team and some have also taken roles/jobs in the industry as instructors as a direct result of their OED upskilling/participation. Overall, OED prepares students with key life skills that are essential in any modern-day environment, whether that is here at school, in tertiary education, or in the workforce.

Please note, due to the nature of the course there is a financial commitment that whānau should be willing to take on. Each student will cost approx $1000, with planned activities including (but not limited to); white water kayaking, rock-climbing, scuba diving (optional), snow sports (optional), high-ropes, white water rafting, tough guy/girl mud-run, overnight tramps/camps and more.

12OED would be 9 periods a cycle, with a total course equalling 20 achievement standard, UE credits (all internals) + Unit standards (optional, e.g, Scuba- 11-credits).
