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.
Contributions and Equipment/StationeryTo cover costs (food, camping fees, outside provider costs) while away on field trips we ask for a $100 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.
