Year 9 Mt.Stirling

Presbyterian Ladies College

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

The Year 9 Mt.Stirling journey is a defining experience for students. The students explore themes of self, community and environment and build their personal capacity and knowledge of the area as they plan and navigate across the Victorian Alpine Area over 5 days.
Students reflect on their experience and their goals through daily conversations, as well as personal reflection time. The hiking aspects of the program provide opportunities to navigate for the group and work on leadership skills.
Community living and relationship building is explored through group cooking and camping in groups of 14 students and with both an OEG and PLC staff member.

Location

Abseiling

Descending a rock face or a climbing tower, we love the views from the top and the courage we see as students aim for their personal best and encourage one another.

Bushwalking

Be it a day's hike or a short walk to camp, bushwalking engages all our senses allowing us to explore nature and our place within it. And we always find something exciting along the way!

Camping

Camping out in tents is our speciality! We love telling stories around the campfire, looking up at the night sky and creating memories that will last a lifetime!

Personal Reflection Time

Reflection is often practised in a group through discussion, allowing students to develop a sense of self, empowering them to take on new challenges and learn from mistakes.
