Build improved resilience, communication, problem-solving and camaraderie with our exciting small group challenges.
Explore our unique and practical approach to building better student collaboration and empathy.
Students (years 7-12) build trust and resilience through physically and mentally challenging problem-solving activities that also encourage reflection on how teamwork skills are essential for the ‘real world’ and work.
Throughout this engaging and thought-provoking 90 minute incursion, students are sorted into teams, and are presented with a series of fun-filled activities and challenges. Students will need to recognise the skills of everyone within their team and utilise them in order to complete each challenge.
Moving all team members from point A to point B, solving clues in a scavenger hunt, creativity, compromise and memory work all come into play in this fun (and slightly competitive) incursion.
By adapting this incursion to suit your focus needs, our qualified teachers will guide all students through each learning activity, prompting them to observe, investigate, communicate and reflect along the way.
