Duke of Edinburgh Award - Bronze Expedition Success

Congratulations to the S3 pupils who all successfully completed their Assessed Expedition this weekend.
Having experienced brutal hail storms, thunder and lightning on their practice, this weekend they had to take precautions against sunburn and heatstroke!
Every one of them performed brilliantly, working as effective teams, supporting each other through the tough bits and having some fun along the way too.
Well done.

Mrs B.   DoE Accredited Assessor.
