NCEA Level 3 Outdoor Education
Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Mr C. Mason.
In Level 3 ODE, students build and extend on the skills they learnt in Year 12 such as safety management in the outdoors and effective planning in the outdoors. The outdoor tasks are demanding and will need a high level of fitness and commitment.
Being a Leader and taking a leadership role at the Year 7 Borland Camp will be a requirement.
Numbers are limited for this course due to the logistics and ratios needed for Outdoor Activities.
Students will need to be aware that the majority of assessment is theory based planning work in the classroom, as well as time away from school attending outdoor excursions.

Disclaimer
Southland Boys' High School endeavours to timetable courses depending on students' needs, interests and future plans. Many factors can influence whether a course is able to be offered in the following year. These can include:
- Student demand
- Staff availability
- Resourcing
These factors can also impact on timetabling, and as a result students will be asked for input about any clashes that may occur.
Where a course is not able to be run, students' back-up subjects will be used. If there are issues with student selections and the timetabling process, students will have the opportunity to make a decision in conjunction with staff input on the best solution.
