Teacher in Charge: Mrs S. Anaru.

Level 2 AOE focuses on providing students with valuable skills and knowledge in various outdoor environment settings. The focus at level 2 is on higher risk outdoor environments which builds on what is learnt in level 1. Potential context areas are rock climbing, mountain biking and waka ama. Learning in this course includes developing an understanding of Te Taiao where students will apply their learning to enhance their relationship with the challenging outdoor environment.

 This course will benefit students who are experienced in the outdoors and who wish to pursue a pathway and potential career in the Outdoors sector.

Students who opt for this course need to have reasonable fitness an reasonable physical ability to be able to participate in the level of potential activities covered and full willingness to participate in activities such as Mountain Biking, Rock climbing and Waka Ama.

This course is capped at a maximum of 20 students.
