PortalOutdoor Education - Melton Campus
Our Year 10 Melton Outdoor Education students recently visited URBNSURF Melbourne as part of their Risk Management and Water Safety unit.
The day began with a surf lesson, where students developed their skills, built confidence, and demonstrated fantastic resilience. It was great to see such high energy, encouragement of one another, and plenty of smiles as everyone improved throughout the session.
Students then took part in a hands-on water safety course, practising CPR and experiencing a powerful real-life rip currentalongside a trained lifeguard. They learned how to remain calm, float, and swim parallel to safely exit a rip - an invaluable life skill.
This excursion was a great example of learning through doing, allowing students to apply their classroom understanding of risk management and outdoor safety in a practical and meaningful way.
Climbing high
Our Year 9 Outdoor Education students recently took part in an indoor rock climbing excursion, and it was an outstanding day of growth and achievement.
Before we left, the group set a clear goal: to push outside of our comfort zones and actively encourage one another. It was fantastic to see this goal come to life, with students demonstrating great resilience, teamwork, and support throughout the session.
Students challenged their fear of heights, learned to belay safely, and worked collaboratively to complete their climbs.
A standout moment was when student Patrick reached the top of Australia's highest indoor climb and wrote their name on the summit - an incredible accomplishment!
It was a truly positive day filled with smiles, encouragement, and practical learning. Experiences like this allow different strengths to shine and give students the opportunity to grow in confidence in a supportive environment.
