Year 9 Dukes group –  made of the ‘right stuff’!

The Year 9 Duke of Edinburgh’s Award group proved they were made of the ‘right stuff’ last week.

They not only survived, but thrived on the challenge of enduring one of the wettest D of E camps since Noah built the Ark.

With water cascading down paths, raging rivers to cross, and damp tents to be slept in, the group managed with great spirit all the challenges thrown at them.

Year 9 students worked very well together to complete the 30km journey, and although a few of us had our comfort zones extended, we all returned safely to the welcoming embrace of Bondi Junction station and parents, wiser and stronger for the experience.

Well done to everyone who took the D of E challenge!
