The Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award
Congratulations to the Year 9 2024 cohort of Bronze Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award participants, who completed the first of two Adventurous Journeys (AJ) they will undertake as part of the Bronze Award program this year.
Last Wednesday and Thursday, 62 Year 9 students completed a two-day hike in the Heathcote and Royal National Parks.
Students carried all their equipment needs for the two days, including three litres of water, food, tent, sleeping bag, stove and lots of lollies!
The group performed very well, especially given this was ‘next level’ in comparison to their experiences at Camp Somerset in previous years.
Students will complete their qualifying AJ in Term 4.
A big thanks to the staff who attended: Mr Rabenda, Ms Scahill and Mrs Laumberg.
