- Abstract
- As Australia heads into a new era of implementing a National Curriculum, the place of Outdoor Education in Australianschools is under question. In the initial drafts of the National Curriculum, Outdoor Education has been marginalised. Theauthors propose that Outdoor Education should maintain a strong role, especially as processes of experiential learning are applied across the curriculum. Moreover, Outdoor Education oers distinctive content and learning experiences that would be lost in the current draft framework. This paper considers the role and place of Outdoor Education in the NationalCurriculum and frames possible considerations, challenges and risks
