Year 10 Expedition
Penrhos College
PROGRAM OVERVIEW
The Year 10 Expedition is the culmination of the College Adventure Learning program with The Outdoor Education Group (OEG). It is a challenging but extremely rewarding experience for the students. Over the 8 days, the students will be assuming a great deal of autonomy for every part of their day, guided by the OEG Group Leaders and Penrhos College staff until the unaccompanied part of their expedition. This is a fantastic opportunity to put their prior experience and skills into play and, more importantly, to work collaboratively with other students and to show leadership.
