Outdoor Education

Educating students to live and work

At All Saints' College Bathurst, Outdoor Education means using the outdoors to educate students to live and work together, set goals and co-operate to achieve those goals. At the same time they learn to love, appreciate and respect the Australian outdoors.

The College has all its own quality equipment to support one hundred students outdoors, so that the cost of camps can be kept to a minimum.

Our programme starts in the Junior School and continues through to the end of Year 9.

Year 7

This five day outdoor education camp is held at Dunn's Swamp. This is a beautiful area in the western region of the Wollemi National Park and is a 20 minute drive from Rylstone. The students are divided into groups and these groups rotate daily around hiking and canoeing. A highlight of the week occurs on the last night when all the groups gather to perform in and enjoy the camp concert. The students sleep in tents and are frequently involved in preparing their own meals.

Year 8

This camp gives the students the opportunity to experience and develop skills in navigation, campcraft, bushwalking, canoeing, abseiling and rogaining, along with an initiatives and ropes confidence course. This takes place under the supervision of highly trained and very proficient staff from EDOUT, with support from ASC staff. The students sleep in tents, but have access to excellent facilities. These include a First Aid room, kitchen, septic toilets, hot showers and a large covered meeting area. The bushwalking and canoeing is carried out in beautiful country in the Morton National Park.

Year 9

This camp involves five days of expedition in Kosciuszko National Park of New South Wales. The students take part in a genuine wilderness experience in some of the most magnificent settings on our continent. They carry all their requirements, including food, cooking facilities, clothing, sleeping gear and tents for the full five days. The camp is run by qualified and accredited staff from EDOUT, with support from ASC staff.

Other weekend style camps are organised within the Boarding Houses. These camps range from relaxing in the bush to abseiling, water-skiing, canoeing, caving, surfing or cross-country skiing.
