Tramping, bushcraft, rock climbing, mountain biking, high and low ropes courses, alpine skills, skiing, snowboarding, first aid, navigation skills, weather patterns, trip planning, river crossing, environmental ethics, risk management, leadership skills with sea kayaking taught in Year 13 Physical Education.
The course presently costs NZD400.00 per semester for Year 12 and Year 13. This includes $50.00 equipment surcharge for our international students. This surcharge means we can lend you some of the equipment which would be difficult for you to bring from home; a mountain bike or sleeping bag for example.
We recommend that you bring the following items with you if you are a keen tramper, as you are bound to use them in your holiday time as well; walking boots [though these can be hired] and weather proofed jacket. You can hire a sleeping bag and a backpack from school or borrow one from your host family.
