The Outdoor Education Centre at Staughton Vale is used for life education programs at Northern Bay College Campuses.
The facility is shared with Nelson Park special school, and is used to help students to explore the life challenges in an outdoor live-in setting.
In support of Northern Bay College’s program, The Rotary of Highton is helping with refurbishment of the Northern suburbs outdoor education centre at Staughton Vale, which is 40 minutes north of Geelong near Anakie Gorge.
The programs run at the outdoor education centre include a 5 week ‘Connect Program’ challenging selected students to make smart choices in life including relating to health and drugs.”
