First Steps into the Wild: Year 9s Conquer Bronze Expedition
Published on 21/10/25
In September, two groups of our Year 9 students took on their Bronze Duke of Edinburgh qualifying expedition.
For many, this was their first real taste of navigating independently, carrying all their gear, and camping out.
The students worked together to make route decisions and find their way along the routes, set up their campsites, and cook their meals. The expedition was a great test of their map-reading and teamwork skills. Despite some tricky moments, everyone showed great resilience and a positive attitude.
Congratulations to all the participants on completing their Bronze qualifying expedition and taking a significant step toward their award.
