27.06.25 Duke of Edinburgh Expedition I would like to congratulate this year 9's "Falcons 25" group for completing their Duke of Edinburgh's Award expedition section. The undertook a training day and practice, followed by an expedition weekend where they had to walk unaccompanied without outside assistance for 12-16km a day. Both the practice days and assessment weekend provided various environmental challenges, from the torrential rain to the muggy heat. It was great to see the students all challenge themselves in one way or another, be it taking time to navigate correctly, cook for themselves, develop their campcraft skills, sleep out for the night, deal with the physical demands of the walk as well as carrying all their equipment. I was very impressed with one student who brought with them a whole lettuce to go with the burgers they were cooking! A big thank you to all of the staff who volunteered their time to facilitate this event.
