YEAR 8 CAPE TO CAVE

48 YEAR 8 CAPE TO CAVE

In October 2021, St Hilda’s and Christ Church Grammar School Year 8 students joined for the inaugural Cape to Cave Outdoor Education experience. The expedition introduced students to a range of physical, social and cultural activities designed to build their confidence and appreciation for the environment. Activities included a hike on the Cape to Cape track, a series of further hikes between camp sites, an Indigenous Cultural Session, Caving at Giants Cave and abseiling. Students were also responsible for preparing and cooking their own meals. The program was a huge success, and St Hilda’s and Christ Church Grammar School look forward to continue to develop the program in the coming years.

OUTDOOR EDUCATION AT ST HILDA’S ENCOURAGES STUDENTS TO EXPAND THEIR HORIZONS, DEVELOP NEW SKILLS, CHALLENGE THEMSELVES AND CEMENT RELATIONSHIPS WITH OTHER STUDENTS. IN ADDITION TO YEAR GROUP CAMPS, STUDENTS HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO PARTICIPATE IN FURTHER OUTDOOR PROGRAMS THIS YEAR, SUCH AS THE CORAL BAY MARINE PROGRAM AND KIMBERLEY TOUR.
