Going for Gold with DofE!

In the half term break two teams of Gold D of E students in Year 12 completed their Gold D of E Qualifying expedition. The students travelled to Snowdonia and completed their 5 day expedition. This expedition was a very different experience compared to their practice expedition mostly due to the weather conditions! It was a very wet and windy few days in the mountains but our students powered through and coped incredibly well with the very challenging conditions. They showed excellent navigational skills and all worked well together in their teams. They tackled mountain summits, woodlands, bogs and several valleys. The teams were very effective in camp, ensuring that their tents were up quickly so everyone could stay as dry as possible, and cooked a range of hot dinners! After a tough few days we are very pleased to say that all participants qualified! We are very proud of them for this achievement and look forward to their reflections during their presentation. 

As always thank you to Adtrex for their expertise and supporting our students through the expedition.
