The Middle School Outdoor Education class were again getting active outdoors on March 18. Fortunate with good weather, the Year 9 and 10 students kayaked along the Yarra River in the Wonga Park area. Students were involved in a skills session where they learnt all the fundamental skills needed to kayak through rapids and how to safely recover from a capsize. After playing some games, lots of splashes and having many laughs seeing some capsizes, they then completed a journey along the river, during which they had to utilise teamwork and the skills they had learnt to safely navigate numerous rapids. The students had a great day with many memories made.
