HOW OUR TEAM BRING OUR PURPOSE TO LIFE
JAYDE COOPER, OUTDOOR EDUCATOR, SA
“It’s about giving those who may not want to be there the best experience possible, creating a doorway into the world they otherwise wouldn’t go into. And for those who have an interest in the outdoors, it’s about giving them the skills and confidence to create their own adventures so they can pass on their passion and experience.”
ALASTAIR MASON, MAINTENANCE COORDINATOR, EILDON-WANGGAI
“By providing an effective corrective, routine, scheduled, preventive, and predictive maintenance program, we ensure both our machinery and facilities run smoothly behind the scenes. We aim for 100% productivity for The Outdoor Education Group’s deliveries.”
JYE MITCHELL, LEARNING AND DEVELOPMENT COORDINATOR
“My role supports the development and progression of our field team. With a focus on creating more sustainable professional pathways, my work also supports smoother, more consistent program design and planning by reviewing and assessing integrated, functional leader competency systems.”
KARIN BURROUGHS, NATIONAL RESOURCE AND DESIGN COORDINATOR
“In consideration of the organisation, the client, and the student, I design programs that are a good fit for our internal resourcing and calendar, are within the budget and risk tolerance of the school and are the right content, challenge level and social and emotional opportunities for the students.”
