NCEA Level 3 Outdoor Education
Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Mr T. Hill.
We welcome you to Year 13 Outdoor Education at Rosmini College and are happy to announce an exciting program for 2024, a full achievement standard-based, university-approved course.
The units of work for the year include:
Expedition Planning
Safety Management
Leadership
Skill Performance.
The above units will be delivered alongside a selection of the following activities:
Rock Climbing
Caving
Tramping
Mountain Biking
Whitewater Kayaking
Survival skills.
The Outdoor Education Course goals are to increase leadership, and outdoor skills, build respectful relationships with others and the environments we go to. We also have an ongoing focus on building knowledge of safety management that is applied to all the above activities and subsequent achievement standards.
This year, for the first time, students can take 13 Outdoor Education AND 13APD, as each course has different achievement standards to focus on, this is a great opportunity that shouldn't be missed! 13OED does come at a cost, as we hire professional instructors when out doing activites, the 13OED course fee is $1000, per student.
Recommended Prior Learning
Year 12 Outdoor Education would be advantageous but is not essential.
Contributions and Equipment/Stationery
$1000 per student to cover course fees and activities.

Disclaimer
Rosmini College's timetable is student-driven and a new timetable is generated each year based on student subject selection. Unfortunately, while we do our best to avoid them, timetabling clashes may still occur and a few students may be required to choose an alternative subject option.
The 2024 timetable, including the number of classes in each subject and staffing allocations, is created based on student selections made in 2023. Because of this, changing subjects at the beginning of 2024 may not be possible. Please, make your subject choices carefully.
