Adventure and Challenge


Birrigai programs embed challenge and adventure to encourage individuals to actively develop their self-confidence, resilience, and personal responsibility. The Adventure and Challenge programs are ideal for nurturing team development, leadership skills and strengthening relationships within a supportive group setting.

The programs encourage individuals to take control of their learning through a ‘Challenge by Choice’ approach. Participants are encouraged to take risks and step out of their comfort zones with the support of the group although it is ultimately the student who decides how far or high they want to go.

Adventure, challenge, and leadership development is a part of many Birrigai programs. Explore the Birrigai School Program Options 2024 PDF File (5Mb)

‘Adventures challenges and exploring places should be pursed because they are valued learning experiences in themselves, and because the connection and empathy they nurture leads to inquiry, action, and knowledge’ – Gruenewald 2003 (paraphrased).
