This year the Year 7 & 8 class went into the wild for their Survivor Night. I am proud of the way they gave a 100% to all of the tasks and how they awhi each other through challenges. They, for the most part, stuck together and came out of challenges stronger than before.
My class really enjoyed the challenge of hiking, bush crashing following a compass bearing, navigating and topo 50 map reading lessons, flint fire starting lessons, teamwork night time ninja course, bivvy and shelter making, waterhole finding and working together to plan and pack ALL the gear they needed for two days out in the wilderness.
As for myself, I have ideas forming to improve the learning outcomes for next year's Survivor Night. It is my hope that everyone learned some valuable skills about the outdoors and have a new confidence to push their boundaries and make the most of all opportunities presented.
