Duke of Edinburgh Silver Peaks

On the weekend of 26th/27th March, the Year 11 Duke of Edinburgh class had their first practice journey.

We were fortunate enough to have lots of sunshine over the two days.

Prior to the trip students worked in their groups to plan their own adventurous journey from Woodhaugh Gardens to Whare Flat/Waiora Scout Camp and back. There was some variation in the routes with some groups trekking to the top of Swampy Summit whilst others explored the Pineapple and Spur Track. Each group made it safely there and back with many students stepping up as leaders along the way. 

The class is building up to a longer three day and two night adventurous journey that they will complete later in the year. 

The video attached helps to show some of their journey.

Well-done to Year 11 Duke of Edinburgh class!
