Year 6
Year 6 Outdoor Education Program
Location:
The Year 6 program will be held at St Hilda’s new Outdoor Education Centre in Yeagarup. Yeagarup Campus is located just out of Pemberton nestled in state forests and farmland. It is a 7.4-hectare property, complete with an orchard, herb gardens and its own water tank. It is located near the Bibbulman Track, Munda Bindi bike trail and the Gloucester State Forest. The new facility will have state-of-the-art facilities to help deliver amazing educational outcomes for our girls.
The Program:
The Year 6 Program has been designed to enable girls to consolidate a comfortable, safe and positive outdoor experience within the Pemberton region. Having been introduced to the great southern forests and Yeagarup Campus in Year 6, students will have the opportunity to expand their knowledge of the indigenous culture, sustainability, explore their ecological footprint and positive communal living skills.
Girls will participate in:
- Exploring the Big Brook Dam by canoe in preparation for aquatic activities in the following year-level camps
- Both evenings spent camping, will involve students working together to create a variety of delicious meals
- A cultural session will be facilitated through an interactive evening session
- Activities that build an understanding of local sustainable food practices that help to understand their ecological footprint
- High/low ropes course
