Our Duke of Edinburgh Year 11 teams completed their practice expedition on 21st and 22nd September with flying colours.
They all achieved beyond their steps targets, managed to climb a few hills without falling apart and finally managed to work out how to pack a bag with just the essentials, without any unnecessary extra weight. They were an absolute credit to ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ôº Academy.
The group will complete their qualifier in October and the remainder of their sections over the next few weeks so as to receive their awards at a celebration evening, date to be confirmed.
A massive thank you, as always, must go to the staff members who generously give up their weekends so these events can go ahead - Mr Tock and Mr Goldstone take a bow for the support and the entertainment provided during the weekend.
