L3OED

Level 3 Outdoor Education

Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Mr A. Kane.

Outdoor Education teaches you basic tramping, camping, navigation, sailing and rock climbing skills. Level 3 takes these skills further and higher and could include some basic mountaineering skills.

 Pre-requisites – None: but you should be reasonably active and show a positive attitude to theory and practical work.

To get into Level 3: Open entry to anyone, However priority will be given to those who have successsfully completed the Level 1 and/or 2 O.Ed . courses. You should also have Level 1 and 2 NCEA as this will show that you will be able to cope with Level 3 work.

Contributions and Equipment/Stationery

To cover costs (food, camping fees, outside provider costs) while away on field trips we ask for a $300 contribution towards these costs. Also it would help if students have their own boots, thermals, fleece jacket/jumper and raincoat - but if not the Outdoor Education department has a selection that students can borrow.

Pathway

The foundation that O.Ed. provides will lead to many possible careers here in N.Z. and overseas, for example: Dept of Conservation, Search and Rescue, Police, Adventure Tourism Operators, Ski Instructing, Ski Patrolling, Heli Ski Guiding, Mountain Guiding, Teaching, Outdoor Pursuit instructing, Raft Guiding, Kayak Guiding, Rockclimbing, Trophy Game Hunting, etc, etc.
