Outdoor Education at Kardinia International College builds on the College motto of Wisdom Leads to Respect and Friendship by providing students with inclusive, empowering and meaningful experiences that deepen the relationships with themselves, others, and nature.
Outdoor Education and Experiential Learning are a valuable part of the Junior School program. Providing opportunities outside of the daily learning environment allows students to further develop their independence and deepen their relationships with each other. From Year 2, students have the opportunity to participate in a yearly expedition which aims to develop outdoor skills, deepen relationships with themselves and others, and develop respect for the natural world.
