Year 9 Duke of Edinburgh Challenge
Ray Francis – Head of PDHPE
Congratulations to the 56 Year 9 students who survived a very challenging couple of days hiking in the Heathcote and Royal National parks last week.
Not only did they have to prepare, pack and carry all their gear for the two-day journey, but also had to deal with a downpour of biblical proportions on Thursday evening.
This journey would have been a significant step up for all students in comparison to their previous hiking experiences at Camp Somerset, so they should be very proud of their achievement.
Many thanks to Rebecca Gaida, Joseph Peacock and Mateusz Rabenda who all put their hands up to take on the D of E challenge!
