VCE Outdoor & Environmental Studies

Outdoor and Environmental Studies is concerned with the way humans interact and relate to the outdoor environment. This subject allows students to make informed comment on environmental sustainability and understand the importance of environmental health. In this subject, students participate in a number of outdoor practical experiences that allow for the consolidation of theoretical based coursework. Additional information: There are a number of camps and practical experiences involved in the subject. Assessments will be based on the learning consolidated on these camps. Camps range from three – five days away from school at a time. The expectation is that students catch up on the work missed in other subjects while they have been away on camps. Students are also required to participate in practical activities throughout the year.
