History
Aorere College has been a part of the Perry Outdoor Education Trust Project since 2005. Each year we receive significant financial and programme support that enables us to provide a number of outdoor education experiences for our students during their time at our school. These experiences are planned to meet the learning needs of our students and focus on development of personal and social skills that contribute to successful learning at school. Increasingly the programme has direct links with the curriculum taught at school.
