OEG launches Victoria University Hillary Challenge!
The Outdoor Education Group is delighted to announce a new unique and exciting event: The ‘Victoria University Hillary Challenge’.
The Hillary Challenge, named after Sir Edmund Hillary, is an event developed by the Outdoor Pursuits Centre (OPC) in New Zealand. OPC has encompassed Sir Ed’s dedication, and strives to develop people's potential through outdoor education and adventure.
The aim of the Hillary Challenge is to encourage students to work together to achieve the ‘impossible’ – to become the Top School Outdoor Adventure Team in what is now an international event (New Zealand, Singapore and Australia). Now in its 10th year in New Zealand the Hillary Challenge is the most prestigious inter-school competition.
OEG would like to invite entries from schools interested in supporting what will become an iconic event on the school calendar. Places are limited – entry will be on a first come first served basis.
The winning mixed team will qualify for entry into the International Event in New Zealand (conditions apply) and will win Outdoor Gear from Snowgum for their school, as well as an individual prize for team members. They will also be invited back to defend their title next year.
