Outdoor Education... ADVENTURE TIME!

Alright so far I like all my classes. In PDHPE (or simply PE) we'll be doing a lot of kid activities and sports. In CAPA (or Creative Arts) I have to make drama productions that include music, dance, art.. you name it.. it's in there. Today I had my first outdoor ed class... to give you an idea on what it's going to be like I'm posting a little quote from the lecture "The philosophy of Outdoor Ed"..

"Youth is not a period of time. It is a state of mind, a result of the will, a quality of the imagination, a victory of courage over timidity, of the taste for adventure over the love of comfort. A person does not grow old because they have lived a certain amount of years. A person grows old when they have deserted their ideals. The years may wrinkle the skin, but deserting their ideals wrinkles the soul" Source Unknown.

It's going to be great! The intro lecture even brought up God and Religion! That's almost taboo in public schools back home unless it's a religion/spirituality course! So it's neat to see. :) We have two scheduled field trips one to Meebunn-bia the other to Girraween... For Meebunn-bia info go here: http://images.google.com.au/imgres?imgurl=http://www.meebunnbia.com.au/images/general/run.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.meebunnbia.com.au/outcomes.html&h=250&w=200&sz=22&hl=en&start=2&sig2=RpgN0DzxVeYndQbjI76JEQ&tbnid=vqZejpKM4cOSZM:&tbnh=111&tbnw=89&ei=Rt6GSIu7CYWmpATomcX7BA&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dmeebunn-bia%26gbv%3D2%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DG

What the website says is exactly what I'll be doing and in Girraween we're pretty much dropped off with a compass and map and have to find our way back! (this is of course AFTER we have passed all our navigation exams) Here's a pic of Girraween National Park! Alrighty have a great day everyone! Catch you later! ~ Yvonne

Ps. Jenny wish you were here for this class, since we are EXPERTS at adventure! lol ;)
