As part of our Year 9 Education Outside the Classroom programme your child has the opportunity to participate in one day tasters of group activities and games around Invercargill. This year the options available are:
Minigolf, Lasertag & Trampolining at Jump’n’Fun- $42
Students will walk to Jump’n’Fun and spend the morning rotating through the different activities they have on offer – minigolf, laser tag, and trampolining. After lunch students will head back to school for their afternoon classes.
Orienteering & Frisbee Golf at Queens Park – $5
Students will walk to Queens Park and learn some orienteering skills before heading out in groups to complete the Queens Park orienteering course. After they’ve got their bearings, they’ll then have a go at the Frisbee Golf course before finishing with a choice between lunch outside or at the Cheeky Llama and then heading back to school for their afternoon classes.
When
After registrations close students will be allocated to a session between Thursday November 21st and Wednesday November 27th. Student interest will determine how many sessions there are of each activity and which days they run. Each day will run within usual school hours. Students will depart SGHS at 9:00am and return between 1 and 3pm. Students will be walking to and from school and the venue.

These events contain risks, including accidents with traffic, injuries during physical activities, and from being in public places. These risks will be managed through planning and communication, including use of personal protective equipment and the choice of sites that give students a suitable level of challenge. This event is managed school staff (supported for some activities by venue staff) who will manage risk and hazards according to the school’s safety management plan. While risks can be maintained to acceptable levels they cannot be totally eliminated. Some risk is retained for its learning and experiential value.
If you have any questions about this activity, including about the school’s safety management systems, please feel free to contact me. My email is [email protected]
It is important for safety reasons that students follow instructions given to them by all staff and follow all appropriate school rules. Behaviour by students that is deemed dangerous and puts themselves and/or others at undue risk will result in them being removed from the activity and restricted access to future opportunities.
