Outdoor Ed trip preparation underway

By Andrew Willmott | Posted: Wednesday September 4, 2024

The Year 12 Outdoor Education classes have been planning a multi-day cycle tour on the Alps to Ocean Trail, in the Mackenzie District.

As part of their planning they have also been getting themselves bike fit. This has included going riding and completing gym sessions with Mr Dawkins. 

Alongside this Achievement Standard, the students are also looking to gain credits for demonstrating mountain biking skills on grade 2 (or higher) trails. On Wednesday, Mr Willmott's class gathered some more evidence of these skills while riding the Butt Track, at Signal Hill.

The photos show balanced riding positions, looking ahead to read the trail and negotiating trail features safely.
