Learn outside the classroom

At William Colenso College, we recognise that building confidence is a thrill and it’s worth the effort to be challenged physically and mentally to develop confidence and leadership skills.

We live in an amazing part of the world and the college makes full use of Hawke’s Bay’s diverse and wonderful natural environment to provide a safe, enjoyable and challenging learning experience in the outdoors.

Below is an indication of the activities that are on offer each term for Outdoor Education at William Colenso College. These activities may differ due to student interest, class level/age group, weather, and programme changes. Please seek an updated programme nearer to your visit.
