Outward Bound at 60: Still pushing people to their limits

From Nine To Noon, 9:30 am on 26 October 2022

Outward Bound in New Zealand turns 60 this year - and in the time it's been running, some 70,000 Kiwis have gone through the programme.

Based in Anakiwa in the Marlborough Sounds, it offers participants the chance to step out of their comfort zone by stepping into the bush - learning or developing skills in the outdoors that will have application to their daily lives.

Does the New Zealand school still have a life changing impact on students? And does it still have cut-through in an increasingly digital world?
