Overview:
In this unit students explore the sustainable use and management of outdoor environments. They
examine the contemporary state of environments in Australia, consider the importance of healthy
outdoor environments, and examine the issues in relation to the capacity of outdoor environments to
support the future needs of the Australian population.
Students examine the importance of developing a balance between human needs and the conservation
of outdoor environments and consider the skills needed to be environmentally responsible citizens.
They investigate current agreements and environmental legislation, as well as management strategies
and policies for achieving and maintaining healthy and sustainable environments in contemporary
Australian society.
Students engage in one or more related experiences in outdoor environments. They learn and apply
the practical skills and knowledge required to sustain healthy outdoor environments, and evaluate the
strategies and actions they employ. Through these practical experiences students are provided with
the basis for comparison and reflection, and opportunities to develop and apply theoretical knowledge
about outdoor environments.
Why teach this- Here is a perfect example- I don't think we need to say much more!
