Outdoor Education is a hugely influential and rewarding component of a students education. Martin Luther King Jr once said: "The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character - that is the goal of true education."
The outdoor experiences on offer here at St Kevin's aims to explore and develop a student's character through interaction with three main areas:
SELF: The way in which an individual views themselves.
OTHERS: The way in which an individual interacts and influences others through behaviours and skills.
NATURAL WORLD: The ability of an individual to connect to the natural environment around them and to gain knowledge and awareness of the impact they have upon it.
The camps at St Kevin's have been designed to allow students to explore all three of these themes throughout. Starting in Year 3 and culminating at Yr 11, the programs are challenging, engaging and fun which ultimately leaves students with a real sense of adventure.
Let the adventures begin!
