Duke of Edinburgh News

The 41 girls tackling the Kangaroo Valley Adventurous Journey will set off this Friday at 6.00am. The girls will be hiking and paddling for four days through the national park, and are expected back at school on Monday afternoon. It should be an exciting, challenging and memorable experience that will strengthen the bond not only between friends, but also teachers who have kindly put their hand up to attend. For the girls going on this trip, keep up with the organisation and make sure you are fully prepared on Thursday night.

Last week we saw an incredible turn out from the Year 9 group to register for the Duke of Ed program. A massive 125 Year 9 students signed up to the Bronze Award which makes me so excited for the year ahead. Next week on March 10, the Duke of Ed team has arranged for an after school training session from 3:30 - 6:00pm. This session will provide students with information on what is to come, and we would love to see many students attend.

For our Silver Award girls looking to go on the infamous Snowy Mountains hike, the Duke of Ed team has arranged a meeting at lunchtime on 10 March to relay overall information. We are looking for 32 girls who are keen to get involved and make some really fantastic memories with each other. A reminder to the Silver girls to keep an eye out for emails from the Duke of Ed team for the time and room that this meeting will take place.

If students have any issues, questions or Award suggestions, the Duke of Ed team are available for 'in-person' Award assistance every Tuesday, or students are free to email.
