Outdoor Education & Outdoor Recreation
|
| On arriving at the school campuses of Trinity Anglican School, you might wander around and attempt to grasp an impression of what goes on at the school. You would look in to classrooms and libraries and think of the various academic classes and study undertaken, you may notice the magnificent pool and sports fields and imagine the training and competitions that would take place there, and you may also peer into the Bishop Centre and hear the music and performing arts events taking place. But what can’t you see? |

You wouldn’t see the student groups departing to; Chillagoe for adventure caving in Year 6, the Tablelands for their 19 day Outdoor Education multi activity program in Year 9, the Mulgrave Valley for rafting and camping, a sailing voyage to Hinchenbrook and Townsville with Year 11, a mountain biking expedition across the Tablelands, a scuba dive course departing for the reef, horse trail ride camping out near Black Mountain, a hike around Lake Eacham or Barrine for year 3’s and 5’s, Outdoor Recreation students scaling Mount Bartle Frere or white-water kayaking the imposing Tully River! |
| |
| You wouldn’t see the community tree planting projects along Peterson Creek or the visits to a retirement home in Atherton or the toasting of marsh mellows around the campfire with songs to fill the smoky air. You definitely wouldn’t see the cooking of food, the duty groups busily preparing meals, the wiping and cleaning of surfaces, the dorm and tent inspections finding immaculately kept belongings and beds! You wouldn’t see the quietly reflective students on their solo experience gathering their thoughts and their place in the universe! |

| Why don’t you see these things? Because, they are all part of the package that you get when you attend Trinity Anglican School. All part of the sequentially developed Outdoor Education and Outdoor Recreation experience for nearly all students at the school. They are activities that add the ‘juice to life’s experiences’ and memories to the bag of young peoples journey through life. |
