SCHOOL EXCURSIONS THAT BOOST STUDENT PERFORMANCE

Learning outside the classroom!

Our School Excursions focus on aspects of learning that are better taught by taking your students outside of the classroom and doing something a little bit different.

There is something for everyone and many different aspects that our climbing walls can help your students work on. If you want to develop your students in a specific way or provide a study reward then Hardrock Climbing has something for you!

Excursion Benefits

General

 

CONFIDENCE

Our Climbing walls are great for letting students challenge themselves by their own choice. Our instructor team are always on hand to provide support and encouragement giving your students the confidence to push themselves a little further.

 

TRUST

At Hardrock Climbing your students are encouraged to develop a trust for the safety equipment they are provided with and attached to. As peers provide support to one another they are encouraged to trust each other.

 

SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT

Climbing as a sport is fantastic at changing the narrative of a group of students. It is quite common that we see the quieter and more introverted students really standing out from the crowd when participating in climbing as a sport.

 

FUN

One of the best things about using Hardrock to assist your class learning outside of the classroom is that it is awesome fun for the whole group!

Year 7 - 12

 

SCHOOL TRANSITION

It can be tough for your developing students when they move to a new class group with new peers they haven’t met before.. Hardrock Climbing excursions are a great way to introduce your students to each other in a fun and engaging environment that helps them to embrace their developing personalities.

 

SPORTS DEVELOPMENT

Through grades 7-12 we are focussed on developing the techniques and physical skills used to be able to perform within the sport of climbing. Physical developments made through the sport of climbing are often not climbing specific and can benefit the students with their personal development in many other sports.

 

STUDY BREAK

Stressors from studying can take a toll on our students and this can affect their ability to deliver to their full potential. Our excursions are a great way to assist students to take a fun break from the studying so they can recharge and perform at their absolute best.

 

STUDY REWARD

Your students work exceptionally had to meet deadlines and achieve results in their study. We can assist your students by using an Activate Excursion as a reward for their achievements; giving your students that little bit of extra motivation. There is also nothing better than celebrating with an awesome fun and exhilarating experience!

VCE & VCAL

 

VCE HEALTH AND PHYSICAL EDUCATION

Our climbing walls provide the perfect opportunity to put students’ knowledge of the human body, energy systems, physical education and safe sport practice to the test. Whether students are completing Units 1&2 or Units 3&4, our climbing walls provide students the ability to apply and extend their knowledge in a fun, controlled environment!

 

STUDY BREAK

Our climbing walls can be an excellent tool for VCE students in particular, as they can provide a well-deserved break from studies. Our sessions can be conveniently scheduled into their weekly study programs, and allow students a wonderful tool to re-charge and re-focus to perform at their best.

 

VCAL PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT

Our climbing walls provide for excellent team building and personal development activities. In line with VCAL curriculum, our sessions provide students with opportunities to build their self-esteem, resilience, problem solving and interpersonal skills in an interactive and engaging environment!
