DUKE OF EDINBURGH

On Tuesday the Duke of Ed class completed a 40km ride to Warburton. The conditions were in our favour with a cool but sunny day. We completed the ride earlier than expected with everyone making it the entire way. It was great to see students outside of the classroom, communicating in different ways and having fun in the sun. 

Here are some Quotes from students on the day: 

“It was very fun and enjoyable, although it was challenging at times it was fun in the end” – Ash Jordan 

“it was good to be outside and spending more time without classmates” – Sienna Haywod 

“I loved the experience even when it got challenging” – Hailey Pennicott 

Preparing for Camp  

In the second week of term 2 students will be completing their practice Journey at Cathedral Ranges as part of their preparation for their Qualifying Journey at the end of the year.  

The rain held off as we spent time setting up tents in preparation for camp. Students practiced setting and packing up tents correctly and how to do this for protection against the elements.  

It was great to see students helping others with their tents and packing them away efficiently and neatly for use next term.  

As part of the camp preparation students will also be completing a practice hike in the local area, map reading and food preparation. We are all very excited to go on camp.
