BRONZE EXPEDITION
Our Bronze Duke of Edinburgh students also completed their expedition last week. They did a brilliant job getting organised and setting up camp, enjoyed walking around @aliceholtforest, and had great fun exploring the marble run.
At @woodlarks_campsite, we went swimming and tucked into a delicious dinner of pasta and garlic bread.
The students even learnt how to build a fire and make s’mores.
Everyone had a wonderful time and made some fantastic memories. We thoroughly enjoyed every moment of, and we are incredibly proud of all the students for their enthusiasm, teamwork, and resilience throughout the adventure.
A special thanks goes to all our staff for their hard work and time over the course of the week.

SILVER EXPEDITION
The Duke of Edinburgh Silver Expedition has been a fantastic success. The students fully embraced every challenge, developing independence, resilience, and teamwork.
The group completed a total of 13.08 km, walking through the beautiful surroundings of Devil’s Punch Bowl and Frensham Big Pond and Little Pond.
Students developed campcraft and cooking skills by preparing delicious pasta and fajitas for their evening meals. They built their own campfire and toasted marshmallows to make s’mores – a well-earned treat.
Two students chose to put up a smaller tent as part of an activity and bravely spent the second night sleeping in it.
A huge congratulations for their outstanding effort, positive attitude, and for successfully passing their Duke of Edinburgh Silver Expedition. Brilliant work!
