Thank god they came to their senses. Outdoor ed was the only thing that got my kid off the Xbox for a change.
100%. My kid came back from a week in the bush and actually talked to me for once. Priceless.
FFS the government needs to SACK the guy who wanted to overhaul it in the first place. Absolute clown show.
So they backtrack. Big flippin deal. They still cut funding for everything else.
mate the real world doesn't care about your resilience training. Learn to add up so you don't get ripped off at the shop. simple.
as someone who actually works in outdoor ed, I'm relieved but man, the stress these last few months has been insane. Can't believe we had to fight this hard to keep a subject that's literally saved lives in my groups.

Yeah nah get stuffed. This is just a distraction from the real issues in education right now.
Outdoor education? More like outdoor holiday for kids. They should be in a classroom learning maths instead of goin camping.
you must be fun at parties. outdoor ed literally teaches problem solving and leadership. but nah, let's just do algebra instead.
Look at Mr. 'I'd rather have kids rot in a classroom' over here 😂 Outdoor ed teaches resilience, team work, and gets them off their phones. Way more than another maths lesson.
Typical. The media acts like this government saved the day when they were the ones trying to scrap it in the first place. Don't believe the hype.
lol cope. The government's track record speaks for itself. This was a win for common sense after a stupid proposal.
get a grip. they finally did one thing right and you're still a negativity vortex. must be exhausting being you.
