They will have the opportunity to investigate the relationship between Outdoor Activities and Natural Environments. They complete four one-day experiences in natural environments related to practical experiences, including bushwalking, surfing, kayaking and orienteering. Throughout the unit, students will begin to develop an understanding of ecosystems and the impact of human actions and decisions through the study of natural environments and wilderness areas.
