Learning Focus Area

Through open consultation with Blackwood Staff, each program is tailored to the specific requests, needs and choices from each individual school while focusing on one of our 2 Learning Focus Area




Choose a Learning Focus Area


Schools select one Learning Focus Area as their primary program focus.  This choice will aid the design and delivery of lessons throughout their stay while also creating assessment opportunities.

With this chosen Learning Focus Area in mind, programs are then tailored specifically to the groups' curriculum levels and educational needs.

  1. Health and PE
