Congratulations to our D of E adventurers

Our Bronze and Silver Duke of Edinburgh students successfully completed their practice and qualifying expeditions. Students developed their navigation, campcraft, teamwork, and problem-solving skills while hiking through a variety of challenging terrain.

Students demonstrated incredible resilience, determination, and independence, overcoming everything from cold and wet weather to the demanding hills of Box Hill. They cooked their own meals, pitched their own tents, supported one another around camp, and embraced the opportunity to spend time outdoors away from their usual routines.

Many of our students challenged themselves by staying away from home, building confidence, independence, and resilience that will support them well beyond their Duke of Edinburgh Award. It was fantastic to see so many students step outside of their comfort zones, support one another, and grow in confidence over the course of the expeditions.

We are extremely proud of all our participants, whose positive attitudes, perseverance, and teamwork made the expeditions such a success. Congratulations to everyone involved on this fantastic achievement.
