participate in movement challenges (as individuals and in teams or
groups), recreational activities and navigational challenges in natural
and outdoor settings.

Access to specialised college facilities, equipment and relevant
teacher expertise will engage students in activities such as mountain
biking, trail running and kayaking.

marketing of food, and the nature of food, human nutrition, through
a problem solving process. The focus of this specialist area is on the
wellbeing of individuals, families and communities. Students will

kitchen while preparing healthy nutritional meals.

Students considering studying Hospitality Practices as part of their
Senior pathways should consider this subject.
