‘Current state curriculum guidelines are being replaced by National Curriculum documents. Previous state documents did not acknowledge the role of Outdoor Education, with the exception of Western Australia as Outdoor Pursuits and Tasmania. The current draft Health and Physical Education document acknowledges the role and place of Outdoor Education in the curriculum. The overlap with Health and Physical Education is in the area of Outdoor Recreation, which is now compulsory in the areas of challenge and adventure activities, navigation activities and aquatics. The draft HPE statement includes opportunities to teach other components of the HPE curriculum. Outdoor Education also offers opportunities to teach other curriculum areas, particularly Geography and Science. This presentation provides an overview of the Outdoor Education Australia 2014 statement providing advice on implementation of the National Curriculum developed in conjunction with ACARA consultant Janice Atkin and state Outdoor Education representatives of Outdoor Education Australia.’
