//Year 11 Outdoor Education students headed to the Kaadadjan Centre to explore the landscape, try out their kayaking skills, and test out their camping gear during their Outdoor Education camp recently – it looks like it was an action-packed camp!

//Learning about bushfire prone areas, what can fuel the fires and how they impact ecosystems and communities was part of the Year 11 Geography excursion to Perth’s hills recently. Seeing the areas firsthand enabled students to assess fuel hazard risks and examine how the landscape and land management can affect fire behaviour.
