Duke of Edinburgh Award Success
Posted 5th June
Congratulations to Daniel, Calum, Asia, Kaymin and Brooke from Senior 3 for successfully completing a two-day expedition on May 1st as part of their Duke of Edinburgh Bronze Award. The students planned their route and walked in the Stanhope area, where they cooked meals on a stove and set up a tent. Some of the students even camped overnight in the tent, marking a significant achievement for them. Well done to everyone involved, including the staff who provided support!
