On Thursday, the Senior Outdoor Education class had the opportunity to volunteer at Pegasus Equine Centre, an organisation dedicated to helping children with disabilities experience the joy of horse riding. Our responsibilities included maintaining the facilities by tidying up the paddocks and gardens. In future visits, we may have the chance to care for the horses and assist in preparing them for lessons.

This experience provided the JPC students to see a different side to Outdoor Recreation while covering the BSSS unit ‘Connection to the Environment’. We will be volunteering at Pegasus later in September 2024.
