Year 11 OES Students 

Conquer Cathedral Ranges

Our Year 11 Outdoor & Environmental Studies class embarked on an unforgettable adventure, camping for two nights at the stunning Cathedral Ranges State Park. Embracing our theme for the year, "Be Bold," the students tackled a challenging 10km hike over rugged terrain, carrying hiking packs filled with all their gear for an overnight camp. This experience was designed to push them out of their comfort zones and encourage them to take bold steps in their personal growth and learning.

The students were rewarded with breathtaking views along the ridge line and at the summit at sunset, creating memories that will last a lifetime. The hike tested their physical endurance and mental resilience, as they navigated the demanding trail. Additionally, they had the opportunity to further their rock climbing skills learnt in Year 10 HPE by scaling real rock faces. This hands-on experience allowed them to apply their classroom knowledge in a real-world setting, fostering a deeper connection with nature and their peers.
