'There is more in you than you think' Kurt Hahn

About Me

I have over 20 years teaching experience including both secondary and primary education. Throughout all of this there can be no doubt about my passion for outdoor education. My career path has gravitated towards realising that education means more than a classroom, more than just book learning, more than just exams. Outdoor education is not a subject-it is a way of learning concerned with the overall development of young people. In this trip I hope to observe first hand examples of best practice, in contrasting educational systems, and witness inspiration and innovation in delivery of the outdoor curriculum.
It is with grateful thanks to The Goldsmiths' Company that I have this opportunity and am able to pursue my passion.

Welcome to Ardroy Outdoor Education Centre

I received a very warm welcome from all the staff at Ardroy this morning. Today about 60 pupils arrived from two different schools. One school are doing the John Muir Award, the other a Healthy Mind and Body course. After lunch they were quickly kitted out with fleeces, waterproof trousers, jackets, welly boots (think they may need them for the 'splosh'!) and back-packs. Once all sorted out they went with their group leaders to 'explore' the surroundings. Now they are getting ready for either night orienteering or nightline and labyrinth................should be fun! Think I'm in for another busy week adventuring.
