Ray Francis – Head of PDHPE

Congratulations to the silver Duke of Edinburgh’s Award group who completed an excellent three-day canoeing adventurous journey on the Hawkesbury river last week.

This was the last of the two journeys required to complete this section of the award, and the group was lucky to have perfect canoeing conditions on the Hawkesbury.

The stars aligned with both winds and tides working in our favour to make paddling a pleasure.

Camping on the river banks at night, cooking around the camp fire, night fishing and star gazing in addition to the nightly ‘tribal’ meeting to reflect on our day, were all aspects of an excellent adventure.

Mazal tov to our group who represented the School admirably, showing great care for each other and the beautiful environment that we travelled through.
