Year 9 students complete Bronze DofE Training Expedition

The first DofE expedition of the year was completed by 47 of our Year 9 students last weekend!

DofE Coordinator, Ms Webb, reports: 

"We were very lucky with the early spring weather, with Friday afternoon and Saturday turning sunny and glorious after a quick spring shower at drop-off.

All the teams listened to instructions beautifully, pulling together nicely in their teams to successfully complete their training day. Of course, some still got a little lost on their route on the Saturday when they were practicing without their instructors, but they all recovered... and still arrived at the finish point smiling with true DofE spirit! 

Staff from both Beacon and Outspark (our expedition AAP) have reflected that those in attendance were 'a really lovely group of students, all 7 teams of them' and 'rate it as the best expedition we've ever had'. One parent volunteer supporting also said 'all were a credit to the school'.

Well done everyone!"
