Pittwater House offers an innovative outdoor education program that builds leadership, independence, inclusiveness and the value of working towards a common goal.
Our outdoor education program reinforces our focus on wellbeing and personal development. It’s available from Year 3 until Year 11.
Students stay in a semi-remote location within Australia to remove them from 'normal' life. They work together in small, professionally facilitated groups.
The program is run by an independent organisation.
