Year 10 prepares for Duke of Edinburgh Bronze Award Expeditions Feb 2023

Between Friday 17th and Saturday 18th February, sixty-eight Year 10 students participating in the Duke of Edinburgh's Bronze Award completed their Adventure Journey Preparation tasks.

On the Friday, they went through maps skills, orienteering, putting up tents, cooking a meal with a small camping stove and slept in their tents overnight at school.

On the Saturday, they did a First Aid course and a session on advice about equipment to bring on hiking/ camping trips. The above experiences will help prepare the students for the Practice expedition on Friday 14th April to Saturday 15th April and the Qualifying expedition in June.

A big thank you to Ms Deborah Cave, Mrs Valentina Trpkoska, Mr Jovica Trpkoski, Mr Chris May Miller and Mr Stephen Kulali for assisting with the weekend activities.
