Through this mandatory core module, an experiential approach is used to discover what being  active in the natural Warrumbungle environment is all about. Students are introduced to outdoor education and its importance to their personal growth, skill development and overall wellbeing.  They investigate foundational knowledge and skills for outdoor education activities. Students interact with the Warrumbungle environment to explore its features, functions and benefits to individuals and the community. They develop and apply their interpersonal and self-management skills as they experience challenge, learn more about their comfort-zone and participate in planned outdoor activities.
