School Profile
Sacred Heart College Wodonga
Type of School: co-educational catholic school
Location: Wodonga
Sacred Heart College educates students from year 7 through to year 12.
The school is located in West Wodonga and situated in a rural/urban
setting. The Albury/Wodonga area is considered to be a rich cultural
diverse society. The school supports multicultural diversity present within
the community by providing all students with the equal opportunity to
take part in a variety of subjects and provided with additional support if
needed.
Class profile
Subject: Year 10A Outdoor Education
Total Number of students: 23
The Year 10 Outdoor Education class is a co-educational class, consisting
of 11 girls and 12 boys. The class is held three times a week over a two
week timetable. The students pick the subject as an elective and will
undertake in either semester 1 or semester 2 depending on timetable
allocations for subjects. The subject is both theory and practical based
with students being provided the opportunity to go on three outdoor trips
over the duration of the subject.
Most of the Year 10A Outdoor Education are highly motivated, with all
having a passion for the great outdoors. There is a small number of
students who see Year 10 outdoor education to be a subject that they do
not have to put in a lot of effort in attain a passing grade. This perspective
needs to change as the subject offers much more than receiving a passing
grade. Majority of the class get on well together as they as all have had
one subject together throughout their secondary education. Some
students tend to socialise outside of class in the school yard and also on
Sarah Cox 17456543
the weekend. It will be interesting to see how accepting the class is going
to be with the addition of two new students (one student being English
being an additional language (EAL)) at the school who will be undertaking
the subject. There has been problems noted in the past that some of the
students have a negative attitude towards a couple of students who
struggle socially and academically. This needs to be closely observed with
appropriate measured taken if some students establish a negative attitude
towards these particular students. There is a total of six students who
present with diverse learning needs. The deliverance of the subject needs
to be taken into consideration for these six students with appropriate
changes being made to help the learning of these particular students.
With some students in the class have an understanding of other students
learning needs it might be highly recommended to implement a variety of
task that are completed collaboratively, with the need to engineer some
learning partnerships or small groups.
Learning Profiles:
Name: Hamish Lake
Nature of the students serious learning disability/difficulty: Epilepsy
Personal profile: Hamish is 15 years old and is the eldest sibling of 2
children. Hamish suffers from complex partial seizures, which means his
awareness is altered when an episode occurs. He was diagnosed with
epilepsy at the age of five when he had his first seizure. The seizures can
last up to 1 to 2 minutes. Hamish enjoys playing football on the weekends
and going camping with his family and friends. His epilepsy does not
affect him undertaking part in sport or outdoor activities but it is advised
he must be supervised at all times when he undertakes certain activities.
Emotional profile: When Hamish was first diagnosed with epilepsy he had
high anxiety lives as he became frighten and anxious about having a
seizure at school or at a friends house in front of his friends and peers.
Over the years Hamish has overcome his fear and anxiety issues as he
has been educated including his friends and peers about the condition.
Sarah Cox 17456543
Hamish has also attended counselling session to help him manage and
control his anxiety that is associated with the condition. The schools
support has also been beneficial to help control Hamish anxiety levels as
they have ran sporting, extra-curricular activities and camps that have
been safe for him participate in or have provided supervision through the
duration of the activity or camp.
Physical profile: Hamish is an active person who keeps fit by playing
football on the weekends. His epilepsy does not have an effected on him
undertaking a regular fitness routine. To help control his epileptic seizures
he uses antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) which are taken each day at a set
time. If a dosage is missed, it can increase the likelihood of a seizure
occurring. There are minor side effects from the usage of the medication,
sometimes Hamish concentration can be affected and he experiences
slight memory loss.
Hamishs seizures are referred to as focal dyscognitive seizures. Meaning
when he experiences an epileptic seizures his awareness and
responsiveness are altered, producing a vague, confused or dreamlike
appearance. He some situation he may respond but inappropriately and
display strange and random behaviour such as mumbling to himself and
walking around in continues circles. This can last between 1 to 2 minutes
and after the seizure, Hamish is confused and has no memory of the
event.
Social profile: Hamish interacts positively with his classmates who have
become social accepting of his medical condition. This social acceptance
has allowed Hamish to speak out and educate his friends and classmates
about his condition and what they should do if he does have an epileptic
seizure. Also being part of a team has helped with Hamish social skills and
has reduced his anxiety levels as his team mates are not judging him for
being different.
Intellectual profile: The medication Hamish sometimes tends to affect his
concentration in class, with only being able to spend a short period of time
Sarah Cox 17456543
of certain task and activities. The medication provides the additional side
effect of memory loss, meaning it can be hard for Hamish to retain
information learnt in class. This has had an effect on his overall
performance in his subjects, being unable to keep up with the contain
taught in some subjects and in some cases finding it hard to catch up on
work due to the larger workload experienced at high school. Throughout
his primary school years was provided additional support to assist him
with keeping up to date with course work (Epilepsy Action Australia).
Name: Lucy Masen
Nature of the students serious learning disability/difficulty: Autism
Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
Personal Profile: Lucy is 14 years old and is the only child in the family.
Lucy has mild autism spectrum disorder (ASD), with being diagnosed at
the age of four. Lucys autism is behavioural spectrum, with her exhibiting
unusual behaviour due to the difficulties she has with responding to
various environments. Lucy has a passion for animals and spires to work
with them when see leaves school, either being a vet, zoo keeper or vet
nurse.
Emotional Profile: Lucy does experience high anxiety levels when changes
are made suddenly such as room change for subjects she is enrolled in or
if the teacher moves quickly through a particular task or method being
taught. Over the past few years Lucy has been bullied by some of the
students at the school for her inappropriate behaviour she demonstrates
to try and communicate with her fellow classmates. The bullying has
upset her, with her sometimes refusing to go to school, fearing she may
be bullied again that particular day. The bullying has caused Lucy to
isolate herself from interacting with other students beside her two friends,
Jamie and Anita.
Physical Profile: Lucy does not like to participate in team sports as she
does not like loud noises, making it hard for her to concentrate and
process what is happening. She enjoys participating in activities that are
Sarah Cox 17456543
not team orientated such as running or tennis. Lucy has pursued her
passion for animals especially horses and compete in horsing events on
the weekend. Including cross country and camp drafting events which
help keep her physical fit.
Social Profile: Lucy has difficulties with interacting with her peers with
some students not being accepting of her learning needs. Lucy also finds
it hard to forming and maintaining a relationship because she does not
respond to non-verbal forms of communication, such as facial expression
and physical gestures and eye contact. She also finds it hard to
communicate to her classmates and other students as she is unable to
interpret things they may say to her. In some cases Lucy tends to speak
her mind, with some students becoming offended by some things she
does say. Through-out her high school education Lucy has been able to
develop a close friendship with two girls, Jamie and Anita who have been
educated on her learning needs and behaviour.
Intellectual Profile: Lucy has been overwhelmed by the workload expected
in secondary education and sometimes finds it challenging to keep up
with curriculum content. This is why specific changes have had to been
made to the curriculum to support her learning needs especially in reading
and writing which are not her best attributes. Lucy shows a keen interest
in science and mathematics. Her interest has helped her receive excellent
marks in science and mathematics (Austism Awareness Australia, 2012;
Autism Spectrum Australia, 2016; Behaviorfrontiers, 2011).
Name: Charlie Gary
Nature of the students serious learning disability/difficulty: profoundly
deaf
Personal: Charlie is 14 years old and is the middle child of three siblings.
When Charlie was a few months old he was diagnosed as being profoundly
deaf. At the age of two his parent made a choice for Charlie to wear
cochlear implants to help him have a better understanding of speech and
an awareness of sounds in the immediate environment. Over the years he
Sarah Cox 17456543
has developed some listening and spoken skills along with learning sign
language to communicate to his peers and family. Charlie wants to work in
the special education at a school or organisation supporting other children
with hearing loss and their families. When he leaves school he may peruse
a Bachelor of Education at the local university. Charlie also has a passion
for mountain biking and competes at local completion held around the
area on the weekends.
Emotional: Charlie sometimes can become frustrated as some students
are unable to understand him if he is in a verbal conservation with a peer
as he is unable or struggles to pronounce certain words. It is the same
situation when he is in a signing conservation with peers as every student
is not educated on how to use sign language. He shows he frustration by
throwing his hands up in the air and walking away from the conservation
occurring. Being restricted to who he can talk to makes Charlie feels
isolated and a bit upset that he is unable to communicate normally to
some of his fellow students.
Physical: It is hard for Charlie to participate in team orientated sports, as
the excessive noise makes it hard for concentration and drains out the
voices of his team mates. Charlie become very passionate about mountain
biking and takes every opportunity to compete in local races held on the
weekends. Every day permitting the weather is fine, he rides to and from
school to keep up his physical fitness for upcoming competition.
Social: Charlie uses two forms of communication techniques to
communicate with teachers and fellow class mates, Australian Sign
Language and verbal communication. Charlie sometimes struggle to
verbally communicate with his fellow peers due experiencing a delayed
development of learning speech and language skills. Not having this full
access to language and vocabulary is at a distinct disadvantage by
needing to rely on partial information to derive correct meaning from the
message being delivered. Sometimes Charlie finds it hard to understand
and comprehend what fellow peers are trying to communicate if they
mumble or do not directly speak to him by making eye contact. Not being
Sarah Cox 17456543
on his bike. Ben hopes to become a professional motor cross rider just like
his older brother Luke. He also has an ambitious to become a motorbike or
car mechanic if the professional carer falls through.
Emotional: Ben sometimes can get emotional frustrated by the fact he is
unable to understand simple learning concepts. This frustration can lead
to Ben not wanting to complete the specific task or give up learning a
certain concept all together. He also understands that the cause of his
development delay was from him birth mother abusing drugs and alcohol
while she was pregnant with him. When he does reflect on this he can
become angry by showing it verbally or angry or it becomes too
overwhelming and he sometimes cries. Ben psychologist has been
motoring Ben for signs of depression as the outburst are becoming
regular.
Physical: Ben keeps him physically fit by attaining the gym after school
twice a week. On the weekends Ben may go for a ride up the back of his
family farm or practice on the motocross course in the back paddock
which helps him keep physical fit. Ben did play football last year but due
to his ambitious to become a professional motocross rider he gave up
football to peruse his career goal.
Social: Ben has developed a friendship with a group of boys who share the
same interest and passion as he does, with some of the boys being part of
the same motor cross club. Sometimes Ben does find it hard to keep up
with the conservation generated in the group as he lacks in language
skills. Some of the boys in group who are not educated about Bens
learning needs will tease him about his pronunciation and vocabulary he
uses. This upsets Ben, leading him to become frustrated and angry and
sometimes he may react by physical hurting the person who made the
comments.
Intellectual learning profile: Bens reading and language skills are at the
lower level of the spectrum that is expected at his age. Alteration to the
curriculum had been changed to support his learning needs. Ben is

Unit of work
Classroom climate:
Year 10 Outdoor Education provides students with in sight to what they
will be learning about if they choose to do the subject, Outdoor and
Environmental Science Unit 1-4 next year. It is both a practical and theory
based subject with students given the opportunity to take part in various
trips held over the semester. Many students who enrol in the class have a
passion for the outdoors and want to be given the opportunity to explore it
while learning about it. There is a small majority of students who feel
Outdoor Education is a subject that can be easily passed by doing little
work and the majority of the classes are spent going out on trips or doing
recreational activities. The outdoor education class can provide various
challenges to students depending on what aspect of the subject content
they are faced with. These challenges will hopefully encourage students to
evaluate they strengths and weakness, setting themselves goals to work
towards.
The class encourages students to work collaborative with fellow students
within or outside the classroom. It also facilitates the development of new
relationship, with students getting to know another students who they
may have not interacted with outside of class. As there are 6 students
who present with diverse learning needs within the class, it provides an
opportunity for other students to be educated about these particular
students. Educating the rest of the class on the different learning needs
present in the class, will hopefully make other students become more
aware they learn a bit differently to them and provide support to this
students when needed. If any students feels uncomfortable about
something that happen in class or is concerned about an assessments
task, the teacher encourages the students to come see them after class or
if they fill more comfortable come see the teacher in their office as they
go by an open door policy, if the door is open come in, if the door is
closed, knock first to see if it is okay to come in.

Show respect to culture and environments while discussing them in
semester.
This applies to field trips students should never put themselves or
their teacher and fellow peers in a position that is considered to be
unsafe.

natural environment.
To promote self-esteem in each student participating in the course.
Providing an opportunity to form relationships based on mutual
challenges.
Provide additional opportunities for students to succeed.
Rationale
Outdoor Education program aims to give students real ownership and
responsibility for their camp experience. It also aims to deepen their
understanding of themselves, their understanding and their interactions
with others, and to enhance their knowledge and understanding of the
local environment.
It provides students with opportunities to collaborate with peers who they
may have not done so in other classes and provides a practical element
that would suit a variety of kinaesthetic and visual learners that are
presented in the class. The learning developed in the classroom goes
beyond the classroom with students developing self-esteem, promotion of
independence, enhancing cooperation and perseverance; developing
respect and appreciation of the environment (Barlow, 2015). Outdoor

Topic: Risk
Lesson N0: 5
Duration: 60 minutes
Year level: 10
Learning Purpose/Rationale:
Students will develop acceptance of the need for rules and regulations.
Students will develop a greater understanding of their own ability to persist in physically and mentally challenging situations.
Know the meaning of risk and identify two different types of risk; perceived and real risk.
Be able to identify risks in different environments and provide suggestions of managing the risk.
22
Learning outcomes:
Knowing the meaning of risk and identify the two types of risk.
Identify risk in different environments; people, equipment and environmental and how the risk can be managed.
Understand that competence and difficulty can have an effect on the participant perception of risk.
Assessment:
How will you:
1. Ask students to do a quick write and brainstorm or draw and brainstorm on ideas of what they think risk is and different types of
risk. Students will end up sharing ideas in a classroom discussion.
2. Students will be asked to engage in class discussion about risk and the meaning of risk. They will be expected to share their ideas
and meanings of what they think risk is to the mind map being established on the board.
3. Students will complete an activity, identification of risk in pairs. The pair will be given a picture of a particular activity e.g
someone rock climbing and they will have to identify the risk/s observed in the activity, the effects of the risk occurring and
implementing management strategies to reduce the risk in the activity.

Procedure
Learner activities:
Listen
Take notes
Classroom Discussion
Risk Game 10 minutes
Firstly get students to do a quick write or quick draw, brainstorming ideas about risk and
what they think it is? Allow a couple of minutes to complete the quick write as some students
may be unsure what risk is.
Come together as a group and discussion students ideas and thoughts. Create a mind map
on the board, jotting students ideas and thoughts down when they are asked to voice them.
Present the Power Point about risk to the students, it will discuss the following:
Examples of taking risks there may be a chance of financial, emotional, social or physical
loss. Sometimes not always a negative loss. There is potential for positive gain.
Provide students with some examples of different risk only need to provide two to three
examples. Get students to take part in a class discussion and talk about the potential
outcome of taking the risk.
Take the group outside and gather them in a circle. Example to the students they are the last
humans on earth and that they need to get across this pool of hot lava to the safe side using
the magical tiles before the ground underneath falls away. The tiles are just squares of
cardboard.
The aim is that you need to get every student across using the magical tiles. If one student
steps off the tiles the students have to start again.
Notify the students they will be timed. Each stage make it harder for them such as taking
tiles away or creating a rule where a foot needs to stay on a tile at all tiles or the tile will
disappear into the lava.
After you have ran through the activity a few times do a couple of different scenario, ask the
Sarah Cox 17456543
24
Move onto how humans are risk takers and that humans
have evolved as a species to take risks in order to survive.
Each student will be given a table which they will need to fill
out for each activity they are given. Advise students they
should paste the table into their books.
25
26
Engagement:
Each element of the lesson hopes to engage a variety of learners in the room
including visual, kinesthetic, verbal, interpersonal and intrapersonal learners.
Getting students to firstly write about what they think risk is will hopefully get
them thinking about risk and creating a connection.
Doing the quick activity will hope to redirect students attention so they are
focused. He activity will also allow students to think about the risk within the
activity and how they managed them through the activity.
Showing a couple of videos of people taking risk within their activity and
identifying the risk and effects in the activity will able students to create an
understanding of the differences between risks and effects (if I am able to
connect to the projector).
Conclusion:
Our perception on how difficult the activity is and our skill level for a particular
activity can determine how we perceive the risk in the activity.
Finish off with an ending message about risk and how we face it not only in the
outdoors but everyday in life when we undertake an activity such as driving a
car or riding our bike to the shop.

Duration: 60 minutes
Learning Purpose/Rationale:
Students will develop acceptance of the need for rules and regulations.
Students will develop a greater understanding of own ability to persist in physically and mentally challenging situations.
Learning outcomes:
Students will understand and know how to prevent injuries and illnesses occurring.
Students will understand how to respond to minor and major first aid incidents. With having the potential in assist staff leaders.
Students will gain basic knowledge of the process of responding to a First Aid scenario, applying basic treatment to the patient,
conduct a secondary survey and monitor the patient condition and plan for evacuation if necessary.
Assessment:
How will you:
1. Students will be given some time to brainstorm and generate ideas about common injuries/illness that occur in an outdoor
environment. After been given sufficient time to generate some answer the students will be invited to discuss their ideas and
answers in a class discussion.
2. Students will get into groups and will be given a first aid scenario. They will need to research their common injury and determine
treatment options for the injury. After the pair has done this they will need to develop a scenario were someone is a responder and
the person is a patient. They will present their scenario to the whole class, teaching their fellow peers how to respond and treat

Taking notes
Engage students in a class discussion about what are the most common injuries/illnesses
that are likely to encounter in outdoor activities.
Recorded some of the students answer in a mind map on the white board so other
students are able to copy them down in their note books or their laptops.
Talk about the differences between First Aid and Wilderness First Aid.
Talk about some things we need to consider, what we need to think about being a first aid
responder in an remote setting limited equipment improvisation, limited
communication, risk management, group management, preparation, resources and having
a plan.
Ask students what are some environmental factors that could affect the medical
condition and treatment of the a patient out in the field. E.g. heat, cold, rain, darkness,
wind, altitude, visibility, terrain and temperature. Provide hints by drawing pictures up on
the board.

Listening
Class discussion
Taking notes
Students will work in pairs. They need to work with someone they have not
worked with at all in this subject.
When the pair has been organized they will come up to the front and be
given a first aid scenario.
The students will have to research about their injury and find out treatment
options before practicing their scenario.
Students will be given 15 minutes to research their injury and practice their
scenario. After the 15 minutes is up the group will come back together as a
group.
Each pair will tell the class their injury and then act out their scenario of how
to treat the injury.
31
Engagement:
Each element of the lesson hopes to engage a variety of learners in the room
including visual, kinesthetic, verbal, interpersonal and intrapersonal learners.
Firstly getting students to think and discuss injuries/illness that can occur in
an outdoor environment will hopefully encourage them to start thinking
about prevention for each of the injuries stated.
Getting other students to teach the class about the symptoms of an injury
and showing the correct treatment for the injury will engage the students. As
they are interested in what their fellow peers have learnt and are amazed by
their wealth of knowledge on one particular injury.
Conclusion:
Re-establish the different between urban and wilderness first aid.
Knowing the DSRABCDE could help you respond to a first aid incident if you
ever come across one.

- You are to ensure that the game identifies 10 assessed risks of chosen
activity e.g. for rock climbing falling from height, being hit on the head
by a loss rock.
- The game must be easily understood and playable by yourself and your
peers.
Example:
Snakes and Ladders
- Each time you go up a ladder you pick up a Ladder Card, which explains
what it is that you have done for your chosen activity that is a control
measure of your risk. Eg. Rock climbing: you are using qualified guides for
your experience or participants wore correctly fitted protective equipment.
- Conversely, each time you are to go down a snake, you provide an
example of a risk that you have taken for the chosen activity. Eg. Students
on the bus did not wear seat belts.
You would create at minimum, 5 ladder cards and 5 snake cards.
If you wish:
-Extra information/questions could be included in your game based on
what we have covered so far in Outdoor Education.
This game could then become a bit of a revision activity as well.
The game is to be fully designed and useable when submitted (yes you
actually make the board game!!!).
If need any materials to construct your game e.g. coloured paper you need
to provide a list to the teacher by the end of Mondays lesson.
