River challenge
Students will work in small groups to complete a series of challenges. Each of these activities is designed to assist students to understand and develop leadership qualities, teamwork and resilience.
On completion, students will reflect on each activity and the qualities they thought were important in providing an effective outcome.
Wellbeing walk to nature spot
Students will navigate their way through the bush during a bush walk. On arrival at their destination, they will participate in a silent challenge encouraging positive connections with nature and developing skills in reflection, relaxation and resilience.
Kayak or Canoe challenge
Students will undertake either a kayak or canoe activity either on the Cowan Creek (at Bobbin Head) or in the waters of The Basin (at Pittwater). During their activity, students will need to work in a coordinated way to solve problems, requiring effective teamwork, communication and critical thinking skills. There will be a discussion after each challenge to help develop students’ skills in reflection and critical thinking.
Optional - Developing a leadership project plan
Schools also have an opportunity to run a school specific leadership workshop in conjunction with Gibberagong EEC staff.
