Adventure is an integral part of the Academic Program

The Outdoor Education program is an integral part of the academic program for students of Years 5 to 10 and helps students to learn by doing. Based on the philosophy of Round Square, the content of each program is designed to be challenging, enjoyable and educationally rich.

This experiential learning provides students and staff with many curriculum links which enhance and ground the content of class work.

Students experience adventure, challenge, team building, leadership, initiative, problem solving and outdoor skills through a variety of well planned programs at each level.
