Physical Education
Traditionally, AdventureWorks has been identified as an outdoor recreation provider for students interested in sports and outdoor recreation. However, AdventureWorks has broadened its offerings, and is now developing and delivering programmes for a range of students based on developing core employment skills The outcomes of our programmes can be recognised in two broad categories :
1.Students that need to develop communication, team contribution, goal setting, interpersonal communication and self confidence. These students do not need to be skilled in, or wanting to develop, outdoor recreation skills.
2. Students that would benefit from outdoor recreation and adventure activity experiences. These could be students in physical education, outdoor recreation or careers programmes with an interest in the outdoor/adventure recreation sector.
- All of our programmes are delivered as hands-on/experiential programmes. The programmes are sequenced and progress towards students developing greater awareness of themselves, understanding of others, development of skills and constructing new ways of understanding themselves and others for increased life effectiveness.
- Our Instructors are better described as Facilitators. We start with a programme that is based on meeting the outcomes of the unit standards and creates an experience of learning that engages the participants and uses the group and unique individual circumstances that occur to extract the greatest amount of new learning.
- We have a broad range of consent to assess, including outdoor recreation and communication and core generic unit standards. We can combine unit standards to create a coherent and engaging programmes that will benefit students.
- As a private training establishment (PTE) we meet quality and compliance standards set by NZQA. We take responsibility for the development of resources, teaching of the unit standards, assessment of the unit standards and moderation activities. At the end of the programmes the school receives an assessment summary outlining student completion and attendance.
- We operate with small group ratios, not usually more than 1 to 10 and sometimes less depending on the activity that the students are participating in. We meet the Adventure Activity regulations safety audit standard and have a comprehensive safety management and quality education system ensuring students are both safe and being provided high-quality education.
Adventure Based Learning CoursesAdventure based learning courses are designed to engage students in a practical and experiential program using our challenge course as the medium for delivering valuable learning outcomes to a range of abilities. We use challenge by choice which means students challenge themselves to the degree they see as appropriate, whilst supporting others to challenge themselves.
