Curriculum Aligned Programs
School camps at Camp Yarramundi play a structured and complementary role in supporting the NSW Curriculum through hands on, experiential learning. Our programs provide students with opportunities to apply classroom knowledge in authentic, real-world contexts, enhancing engagement and deep understanding across multiple Key Learning Areas.
The natural environment becomes the classroom - enabling learning that cannot be replicated within school walls. Students engage in inquiry-based experiences that strengthen critical thinking, problem solving and collaboration while building practical skills and environmental awareness.
Curriculum connected learning opportunities include:
- Fieldwork and observation in natural environments
- Outdoor application of local Dharug Aboriginal culture and perspectives
- Team based problem solving and leadership challenges
- Movement education and physical skill development
- Environmental literacy and sustainability awareness
Our programs support curriculum outcomes across the following stages and subjects:
- Stage 2 | Years 3–4
Aboriginal Languages, Human Society and Its Environment (HSIE), PDHPE - Stage 3 | Years 5–6
Aboriginal Languages, HSIE, PDHPE - Stage 4 | Years 7–8
Aboriginal Studies, Geography, Science, Physical Activity and Sports Science - Stage 5 | Years 9–10
Aboriginal Studies, Geography, Science, Physical Activity and Sports Science - Stage 6 | Years 11–12
Geography, Biology, Earth and Environmental Science
By adopting a sequential approach to outdoor education programming, schools can provide truly transformational learning journeys - with each year building on the last and supporting academic, social and personal growth over time.
Camp Yarramundi delivers more than a camp experience - it provides curriculum aligned, wellbeing focused Outdoor Education that supports the development of confident, capable and connected young people.
