Learning activities
Students will be involved in a range of outdoor team building challenges aimed at developing achievement and success, positive relationships and connectedness, and a sense of meaning and purpose, all whilst being active and safe.
Students will undergo three main activities, each of which is multifaceted and scaffolded in such a way to allow maximum participation by all. The day concludes with an honouring ceremony focused on celebrating and championing all members.
Challenges
Team challenge bushwalk
Students will pass through a maze of ropes before joining a small team. The teams will then go through a series of small challenges before embarking on a bushwalk. At the height of the walk students will work in pairs and undergo some blindfolded activities focused on trust and communication.
Simulated water crossing
Teams will be tasked with a range of challenges that require constructive peer interactions, self regulation and choice on how to best operate as an individual and as a team member. These activities will involve a small amount of water and some students may get wet.
Traditional Indigenous games
Students will learn about the Bundjalung Nation and some traditional Indigenous games. Teams will undergo an initial challenge to set a required base level of skill for the following challenges that progressively increase in complexity which culminate in an entire group challenge.
Please note
Natural Leader is available year round if you have more than 50 leadership students.
For smaller cohorts of students, the program is available on specific dates. Multiple schools will be working together on the same day.
