VCE Outdoor & Environmental Studies Ski Trip

Both the Unit 4 classes travelled to Falls creek to gain practical experience in the Alpine environment to consolidate material they have been learning in class in regards to sustainability, the importance of healthy outdoor environments and the issue around cattle grazing in the Alpine environment.

The students took lessons in both cross country and downhill skiing and experience the alps in a variety of weather conditions during the visit. The group was lucky enough to experience some of the best conditions we have ever had in Australia with light fluffy powder snow blanketing the mountains for the last 2 days of our trip.

Thanks to Nathan Patterson, Caitlin Doble, Tim Hart (Preservice Teacher), Ned Holland (Pre Service Teacher), Maeve Nunan (Outdoor Instructor) and Ken Drake (Christian’s Coach Driver) for coming on the trip and working with our students to provide an amazing educational experience.
