Objective
To be at ease with nature and develop stewardship for our environment.
Outdoor learning supports the development of confidence-building as young people are placed in unfamiliar environments outside of the classroom.
It also develops young people’s problem-solving skills, enhances teamwork, strengthens understanding of the natural environment, and inculcates a sense of stewardship for our environment.
