Outdoor Education
 |
An extensive, rigorous Outdoor Education program in which all students participate is a feature of Marist College. Camps are conducted for boys in Years 5 to 10. These camps follow a variety of patterns with an increasing level of challenge and culminate in a ten-day Outward Bound program which has been designed especially for Marist.
These activities are designed to complement the religious and academic development of the students, and to promote qualities of self-reliance, initiative, cooperation, confidence, leadership, and the capacity to deal with significant emotional and physical challenges. The Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme is offered to students in Years 9 to 12 on weekends, as an additional avenue to pursue those objectives. |
