Our Outdoor Education Programme starts early!

Pre-Kindergarten, Kindergarten, and Pre-Primary students regularly visit The Wild Space – a natural, riverside classroom just a short walk from campus. Here, surrounded by the beauty of the Swan River, they climb, explore, create, and connect with the world around them. It’s outdoor education at its most meaningful — sparking curiosity, building confidence, and nurturing a deep respect for nature from the very beginning.

Our River and Beach School offers Years 1 and 2 students a unique opportunity to learn in the great outdoors alongside their peers from Scotch College. These outdoor classroom experiences encourage hands-on learning, imaginative play, and exploration in natural settings.

The programme fosters a deep connection to self, nature, and community. Your daughter will build confidence, independence, and resilience while developing essential problem-solving skills. Through play and discovery, she will learn to take calculated risks, nurture her curiosity, and embrace the joy of learning beyond traditional classroom walls.

In Year 3, your daughter will enjoy an exciting overnight stay on campus, where she will participate in team games and experience the fun of staying away from home in a familiar and supportive environment. The following morning, she will return home with new friendships, stronger confidence, and a sense of achievement.

Building on their Year 3 experience, students in Year 4 embark on a two-day programme. Sleeping in tents, they take part in a variety of water and land-based activities, developing teamwork, problem-solving skills, and an appreciation for the natural environment.

The Year 5 Outdoor Education Programme at PLC takes your daughter on an unforgettable three-day adventure near Dwellingup. Surrounded by towering Jarrah and Marri trees, students immerse themselves in nature while developing essential life skills.

Through a range of team-based activities, she will develop her co-operation, self-responsibility, and problem-solving skills, learning the value of collaboration and perseverance.

Set against the stunning backdrop of Geographe Bay near Busselton, this camp will challenge your daughter to step up as a leader while enjoying the natural beauty of Western Australia’s coastline.

She will develop confidence, independence, and a deeper understanding of her role as a leader.

The Year 7 Outdoor Education Programme at PLC is an exciting five-day adventure, designed to challenge your daughter both physically and mentally while fostering resilience, teamwork, and self-discovery.

In Year 8, the Outdoor Education Programme at PLC marks an exciting transition as students experience a taste of expeditioning. Set in the stunning Margaret River region, this immersive experience challenges students to develop self-reliance, leadership, and teamwork in a dynamic outdoor setting.

The Year 9 Outdoor Education Programme at PLC is a six-day expedition designed to further develop your daughter’s competence, confidence, and leadership skills in the natural environment. Set in the Walpole-Nornalup National Park, students choose from a variety of challenging expeditions, including sea kayaking, hiking along the Bibbulmun Track, and surfing local breaks.
