Bronze Duke of Edinburgh Award

On Saturday we welcomed 50 eager year 10 students to start their Bronze Duke of Edinburgh award. After a brief introduction the students set out completing a 3-activity carousel. They learnt all about how to use a 'Trangia' stove safely and effectively and used their new found knowledge to make some hot chocolate, to varying degrees of success! On the second station they looked at camping equipment, discussed what they will need for their expedition, as well as putting up tents and using storm shelters. Finally, they practiced their map reading skills and put their knowledge to the test in some quizzes and mini games.

A big well done to all those who have signed up and we look forward to seeing what you will accomplish as the year goes on.
