Junior Duke of Edinburgh Award Week-end Trip

Junior Duke of Edinburgh Award Week-end Trip

On Friday 29th January eighteen Senior 2 students from the School's Junior Duke of Edinburgh's Award group headed to their DoE foundation skills weekend based at Callander Camp, accompanied by three staff.

The weekend seeks to develop an awareness of the skills students will develop as part of the Award and to give them a small taste of outdoor map and compass work, an important skill integral to the successful completion of the Expedition section. This was done via a group competition on map skills and a short hill walk to Dunmore Hill.

Other activities on the week-end included School Vice- Captain Susan Forbes giving a talk and quiz on healthy eating, a number of group activities based around the Award and a swim on the Friday evening.

All the pupils and staff involved had a great week-end.
