Students will also have the opportunity to begin to consider their year 9 Experience options as they undertake a full day bushwalk and a surf lesson.

Students choose to participate in either Trek or Quest for their Term 4 Experience.

Trek

Trek is Korowa’s iconic four-week, point-to-point wilderness adventure which has been operating for more than 25 years. Considered a rite of passage at Korowa, more than 1000 students have participated in the program. Students learn to be self-sufficient campers as they venture by foot, bike and raft from the Victorian Alps to Ninety Mile Beach. Trek develops self-esteem, confidence, leadership and interpersonal skills as students navigate often difficult and stressful situations.

Quest

The alternative experience is Quest, an immersive four-week program which includes an extended residential component. Students are engaged in service projects, which challenge them to step outside their day-to-day routines. In small teams, students negotiate and collaborate to complete projects, while creating and sustaining a healthy community. This program also develops self-esteem, confidence, leadership and interpersonal skills as students work collegially to problem solve, think critically and creatively and learn new skills.

Kinglake Experience

The Kinglake Experience provides students with an opportunity to engage in a range of outdoor education opportunities at the campsite, as well as consider their own strengths; the strengths of others; and the best ways in which they can plan for their final years of secondary school.
