In the outdoor team we are passionate about encouraging everyone to\u00a0 appreciate what is around us. We believe the <\/span>John Muir Award<\/a> is one very effective way of becoming connected with the place we live and making the learning place based. There <\/span>is not a set syllabus, it is up to you how you meet the criteria, and it is open to <\/span>all (families can get involved, and individuals generally from an upper primary level). If you would like to talk about the John Muir Award and how you can take part in it or use it<\/span> Contact the Team<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

The Levels<\/h3>\n

There are three levels of award – Discovery, Explorer and Conserver<\/strong>. There is a time commitment to each and it should be seen as a minimum and the majority of the time should be spent outdoors. There is no upper limit but time can’t be carried forwards to the next award.<\/p>\n

Discovery Award<\/strong> –\u00a0<\/span>4 days (or equivalent) minimum time commitment<\/span><\/p>\n

Explorer Award<\/strong> – 8 days (or equivalent) minimum time commitment<\/span><\/p>\n
