The Outdoor Education about natural environments assessment type is assessed by the school.

Students develop an understanding of environmental systems and issues of potential human impacts on natural environments through investigation of ecosystems and consideration of historical, cultural, and/or personal perspectives of at least one environmental area.

They explore and analyse human interactions with natural environments to build understanding of the balance between the human uses, potential risks, and conservation and sustainability of the environments.

For a 10-credit subject, students undertake one or two tasks. The combined evidence should comprise a maximum of 1600 words if written, or 10 minutes for oral or multimodal presentations

For a 20-credit subject, students undertake three tasks. The combined evidence should comprise a maximum of 3200 words if written, or 20 minutes for oral or multimodal presentations.

Student work should be their own. See Supervision and verification of student work.
