Outdoor Education is an integral part of the Curriculum at Catholic Ladies' College. It is important to all students in providing experiences which lead to:

• a realisation of the worth of structured recreation.
• a stimulation of self concept.
• a development of student's ability to participate harmoniously and effectively within a group.
• a broadening of the perception of the immediate environment in which recreation takes place.
• reinforcement of the knowledge gained in the classroom and of the philosophies evident within the school.
