Bronze D of E - Term 2 update

Bronze DofE (New Year 9)

This term, 49 Year 9 students have enthusiastically signed up to begin their Bronze DofE journey. Over the next seven months, they will be attending regular training sessions designed to prepare them for their expeditions and introduce them to the wider DofE experience. Sessions will primarily focus on essential expedition skills such as map reading, navigation, route planning and campcraft, including pitching tents, cooking outdoors and maintaining a tidy campsite. In addition to expedition preparation, students are being introduced to the importance of the Physical, Skills and Volunteering sections of the DofE. They are exploring ways to set personal goals in each area, from fitness challenges and new hobbies to community involvement, ensuring they understand that DofE is about personal growth as well as outdoor adventure.
