William Pike Challenge

Our Year 8’s undertake the William Pike Challenge. To successfully complete the challenge over the course of the year students must undertake:

• 5 off-site outdoor activities that are challenging in nature
• 20 hours of community service in order to give back to the community
• 20 hours of a passion project that is completely new to the student

The outcomes of the William Pike Challenge are:

• Increased capability, resilience and connectedness.
• Increased participation in the outdoors.
• Increase sense of belonging and connectedness to home, school and community.
• Increased student focus and direction while at a formative stage of life.
• Increased ability to deal with difficult situations and overcome challenges.
• Increased decision making skills.
• Increased opportunity to lead a healthy lifestyle.
