Program description |
Leeuwin Ocean Adventure offers a unique opportunity for students in Years 10 - 12 to participate in true adventure, sailing for 5 - 10 days on Australia's largest sail-training tall ship, STS Leeuwin II. Youth Explorer Voyages provide up to forty students at any one time the opportunity to work together to learn and develop skills and be an active member of a team. A micro-community forms in which each voyage participant's learning needs are supported. On board, participants experience the vastness of the natural environment, sail through the night and climb to the top of the ship's tallest mast in the company of new friends in a unique, totally new environment. Providing students with responsible risk-taking and exhilarating adventure, a Leeuwin voyage is a positive learning and developmental environment. The voyage encourages participants to focus on their well-being and work on skills which will prepare them for future employment and community involvement, including problem-solving, initiative and enterprise, planning and organising while bilding their self-esteem and social confidence. The voyage experience supports young people to set personal goals and develop skills which are transferable back into their homes, schools and future workplaces.
