Ski-trip

• Year 12 students at Frederick Irwin Anglican School, who have been supportive of the ethos of the school over their time at Frederick Irwin Anglican School, have the opportunity to participate in the annual ski trip. Students travel to Mt Perisher in the Snowy Mountains for seven days of skiing with a visit to the Australian Institute of Sport and the War Memorial in Canberra on their way home.

Japanese Trip

• This is a wonderful experience and one of the highlights for learners of the language. This trip involves being a tourist in Tokyo and a homestay with students from Keimei High School.  Running on alternate years, the students from Keimei High School travel to Mandurah to participate and learn about Australian Culture.

Outdoor Education Camps

Students who have selected Outdoor Education as an elective course participate in a camp or expedition which includes activities relevant to the skills and knowledge they have learnt through the year. The camping or expedition available to students builds from Year 9 where students participate in a residential camp experience essentially directed by staff to Year 12 where students participate in a completely self-sufficient, self-reliant expedition in a remote, physically challenging environment.

Significant focus is placed on concepts of sustainability, of building self-confidence, self-reliance, resilience, and leadership.

• Year 9 Outdoor Education Camp – Year 9 Outdoor Education students choose between a four-day camp conducted either at Lane Poole Reserve, Nanga, or Geographe Bay, Dunsborough. Activities are undertaken which are specific to the environment of the camp including; canoeing, mountain biking, orienteering, bushwalking, sea kayaking and camp cooking. All students camp in tents and are responsible for their own meal preparation for the duration.
