In outdoor ED, we started to do snorkelling and had our first trip to Coogee. We had a great time swimming around, spotting fish and exploring the shipwreck. In term 2, we moved on to orienteering and archery which were some very fun activities.

Some capabilities that I think I have displayed in these courses include:

• Collaboration
• Problem Solving
• Leadership
• Effective Communication
• Organisation

I showed the capability of organisation in snorkelling when I had to make sure I had all the right equipment such as goggles, fins and bathers ready for the day out. I improved this skill throughout the time in snorkelling because I got all my equipment ready the night before. In orienteering, I showcased the capabilities of leadership and problem solving. I used problem solving to find markers on the courses and look at the map closer for clues where it might be. I also displayed the skill of leadership to talk to my teammates and give my input about where we should go.

All in all, our Outdoor ED class (Muir) was a great way to have fun, work on our capabilities and build better relationships with our peers.
