Overview
Let’s test our engineering and problem-solving skills by designing and constructing our very own catapult using pine logs, ropes and elastic cord. This activity encourages teamwork and critical thinking through hands-on experience with physics concepts like force and trajectory. We’ll explore scientific principles while working collaboratively to hit targets.

Incentive Course
This immersive outdoor adventure combines map reading, navigation skills, and environmental awareness. We’ll work as a team to cross streams, navigate obstacles, and complete various physical challenges, emphasising leadership and adaptability. This engaging experience strengthens problem-solving abilities while deepening our appreciation for country.
Abseiling Tower
A multi-level 20m abseiling challenge designed to introduce rope work and controlled descent in a highly supervised setting. Each abseiler is lifted to the platform via a manual haul system. Two abseilers then descend the tower side by side, encouraged by the team. This activity teaches goal setting, technical skills and risk management, and develops trust in ourselves and our team.
Pamper Pole
A true test of personal courage and determination, we’ll climb an 8-meter pole and leap toward a suspended buoy. This activity challenges us to step outside our comfort zone and discover the reinforcing power of encouragement and emotional resilience. With the full support of our team, we’ll assess risk, build confidence and trust as we push past our perceived limits.
Bullroarer
Students explore Aboriginal culture and traditional art techniques while shaping and decorating their own wooden boomerangs. They learn about Dreamtime storytelling, natural pigments, and the engineering behind boomerang flight. This hands-on activity fosters cultural awareness, creativity, and craftsmanship, providing a meaningful keepsake of their learning experience.
