Bronze Duke of Edinburgh’s Award camp 

Congratulations to the 51 students (and four staff) who completed a challenging two-day hike in the Heathcote National Park last week.

Students carried all the equipment needed for the journey including food, clothes, tents, cooking stoves and enough food to feed an army (or two)!

The Emanuel Duke of Ed’ motto is “you can never have too much biltong” so thanks to all the parents for keeping us well-nourished!

After a tough day on the trail it was nice to have a swim in the beautiful Karloo Pool.

A big thank you to Mr Rabenda, Ms Scahill and Mr Gilhooly who volunteered for the trip.

Well done Year 9 – this was a significant challenge for many of you, so you did very well to cope with the demands placed upon you.

The qualifying journey will take place in Term 4.
