NCEA Level 3 Outdoor Education and Sport

Outdoor Education and Sport:
This course offers a mixture of Level 3 credits which are Achievement Standards and Unit Standards. 

It is open to both level 2 and level 3 students. However, if this course is taken in Year 12 it can not be taken again in Y13.

Taking an Outdoor Education class offers students a unique and rewarding opportunity to develop physical skills, mental resilience, and leadership qualities in real-world environments of Whitireia Park and the Otaki Gorge. Activities such as rock climbing and river crossing challenge students to step outside their comfort zones, build confidence, and learn essential safety and teamwork skills. 

Coaching younger students adds another positive layer, as it encourages responsibility, empathy, and the ability to lead by example. Overall, Outdoor Education cultivates a sense of adventure, self-belief, and connection to others that traditional classroom settings often cannot match.  

This course is not a University Entrance subject but it is a great option for those who wish to gain NCEA Level 3. Students must have good attendance and be willing to attend days off site to complete the course
NOT a UE Approved Subject
